Maresca Calls Palmer a Top Player and Urges Him to Keep Giving His Best
Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca has openly praised Cole Palmer, calling him the best player in the team. However, he wants the young star to show more drive right from the start of games. Palmer had earlier admitted he was “bored” during the UEFA Europa Conference League final against Real Betis, saying he was tired of passing the ball backwards and sideways.
Despite Chelsea conceding early in that game, Palmer stepped up with two key assists, helping the Blues to a 4-1 win. In their recent Club World Cup opener against LAFC, Palmer played seven passes into the final third and created a chance, though he didn’t get on the scoresheet.
Speaking after that match, Maresca said, “This is the version of Cole we love to see. After the Conference League final, he said he got bored and decided to change the game—and he did. “I told him the next day, ‘Why wait so long? Why not start like that from the first minute? Against LAFC, he did just that. He played the way we’ve been asking. Cole is a top player, and when he performs like this, we’re very happy. Hopefully he keeps it up.”

Football legend Thierry Henry has reacted to Lionel Messi’s emotional response after Argentina lost the 2026 FIFA World Cup final to Spain.
It can be recalled that Spain defeated Argentina to lift the 2026 World Cup trophy. While Spain celebrated their victory, cameras captured Messi in tears after the final whistle.
Henry said Messi’s reaction showed just how much the game still means to him.
“Look at what it means to him. If you ever had any doubt about whether the guy still has any fire in his belly, look at him. Look at what it means.”
He added “You won already. And look at the guy. Look at the passion, desire and the love that he has for his country and how much he puts into it.”
Football legend Rio Ferdinand has shared his prediction ahead of the FIFA World Cup final between Spain and Argentina.
While many have backed different teams to lift the trophy, Ferdinand said some fans have underestimated Argentina’s quality.
He said “I find it difficult to bet against Argentina. They have demonstrated remarkable character, determination, and resilience. I believe people have been somewhat disrespectful by calling them an average team; they are not.”
He continued “I think it is inappropriate and disrespectful. If you are saying that, you clearly do not watch enough football, as they are an excellent team, and in challenging situations, they become even better and stronger. However, I do believe Spain will win the match.”
