Cole Palmer Reflects on Chelsea’s Performance and Personal Expectations

Following a recent victory, Chelsea forward Cole Palmer shared his thoughts with Sky Sports, stating, “I try and go out there and play my game – that is what I do.” Addressing suggestions of being in “unstoppable form,” Palmer remarked, “I wouldn’t go that far. I always try to enjoy my football, game by game. I try to not put pressure on myself.” He further noted the external expectations, adding, “Many people on the outside try to put pressure on me to replicate what I did last season, in terms of numbers. It is my second season playing football and I’m still very young.” Regarding Chelsea’s current performance and their pursuit of a top-four position, Palmer commented, “We just try to play our own game and block the noise out from the outside. We don’t mind proving people wrong.” He also highlighted the team’s potential, stating, “We are all young and we have a top coach, but there are still improvements that can be made.” When asked about comparisons to Gianfranco Zola, Palmer responded, “I know he is an icon on FIFA, so he must have been good. To be honest, I didn’t really watch him play. Everyone says that he was a great player, so thank you.” Sandi Toksvig is accompanied by Gyles Brandreth, Lulu, Emmanuel Sonubi, and Alan Davies.
