At the moment, everything is going well at Chelsea. A few hours from the Fulham reception, the Blues occupy second place in the Premier League table. A performance due in part to Cole Palmer’s 11 goals and six assists in the league this season. The England international has started all PL matches with Enzo Maresca, who believes that the 23-year-old will be expected even more by opposing defenders and that his team cannot rely on a feat from him in every match.
“ First of all, I said the next step for him is to manage this moment, because most teams try to score him individually. So it’s difficult for him. But it is certain that one of the solutions could be to play João, one of the solutions could be to play the two together. But it may depend. Against Everton we probably tried to continue with Cole because there were moments where he was able to receive the ball and create something. But overall he works hard without it. And since day one we can’t rest on Cole’s shoulders every game », Declared Maresca at a press conference.
