“Been carrying that football club” – TNT Sports pundit says Chelsea man can be the best in world | OneFootball

A TNT Sports pundit has said that one Chelsea player can become the best in the world and has been carrying the football club.

The new comes after Chelsea beat Premier League winners Liverpool 3-1 at Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon in what was a fantastic overall performance by The Blues.

EXCLUSIVE! Chelsea now looking at move for 6ft 4in France Olympic Team international defender!!

Cole Palmer was back in fine form for Chelsea and is one of the reasons that they put in such a good performance, with the stats proving this as well.

Palmer was also involved in Chelsea’s first goal of the game in the opening minutes, as well as some good work by Romeo Lavia and Pedro Neto to setup Enzo Fernandez to provide a lovely finish to get things going.

Palmer’s Liverpool post-match interview

After ending his long wait for a goal, Palmer hit out at ‘trolls and idiots on social media’ in a surprisingly open interview on Sky Sports.

‘S*** happens,’ he said. ‘It gives me more fight to do well not just for myself, but for my team.

‘Social media nowadays is full of idiots, the trolls and whatever. I don’t pay any attention to that. To score today, I’m happy, but I’ve got to keep improving and try to reach new levels.

‘If you’re getting chances and not scoring… you’re letting your team down at the end of the day. I feel like I’m mentally strong anyway so whatever people say, it doesn’t bother me.

‘I’ve had it all the time growing up. I feel pride in helping the team and if I’m not doing that, I’m not happy. Today, I felt like myself.

‘I felt confident, I was trying things, first time passes, playing forward, playing free and when you have him [Moises Caicedo] next to you, it’s a dream.’

Jenas loved every word of the interview

Former player turned pundit Jermaine Jenas enjoyed the interview with Palmer.

‘I loved every word of that interview, every single word of it,’ Jenas told talkSPORT. ‘He’s 22 and he’s been carrying that football club on his back this season.

‘I just think sometimes with players, a lot of the time you see these interviews and you get such a polished, load of rubbish after certain games. Sometimes you just want to know genuinely what’s going on.

‘I think with Cole Palmer, he had that bit of release that made you kind of realise that this kid cares, he wants to improve and he knows he hasn’t been as good as he should be.

‘That tells me he’s got everything it takes to go and be one of the best players on the planet at some point during his career.

‘That’s what the key is, realising you haven’t been good enough and he’s been putting things right to get himself back on the right track.’
