Author of his 1ᵉʳ goal in the championship since January 14, Palmer wanted to meet the criticisms that occurred during this vacuum passage.
“I have always suffered that”
“I stayed three months without scoring, but it gave me even more motivation and desire to do well, not only for me, but for the team. Nowadays, social networks are filled with idiots. The trolls and all that, I do not pay attention to it. (…) Personally, I feel very mentally. No matter what people say, I don't mind, I always suffered it when I grow up so I don't care. ” reacted the ex-Citizen.
Despite his hollow period, Palmer remains the most prolific player in Chelsea. With the London training, he accumulated 15 goals – and 10 assists – in 42 games in all competitions.
