In a recent interview, Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca emphasized the importance of Cole Palmer staying humble despite his rapid rise to prominence in the Premier League. Maresca praised Palmer for his consistency and mindset, stating that he has remained grounded despite being labeled as “the best player in the Premier League”.
Palmer, who made the switch from Manchester City to Stamford Bridge, has been in scintillating form, with standout performances including a hat-trick against Manchester United and a four-goal haul against Everton. However, it was his four-goal display against Brighton & Hove Albion that truly showcased his talent, as he became the first player to achieve such a feat in the Premier League.
Speaking to reporters after the game, Maresca showered Palmer with praise, highlighting his goal-scoring prowess and unassuming nature. He commended Palmer for his humility and simplicity, qualities that have stayed constant throughout his career despite his on-field success.
Looking ahead, Palmer was hoping to continue his impressive form in Chelsea’s upcoming Europa Conference League match against Gent. However, Maresca decided to rest the young star to preserve his energy for the remainder of the season. With six goals and four assists in just six Premier League starts, Palmer has already made a significant impact and will be looking to build on his success as the season progresses.
