“I don’t want Enzo to start him” – Crystal Palace Coach says 22-years-old Chelsea star is too hard to handle ahead of Palace clash
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has expressed his concerns about facing Chelsea’s 22-year-old star Cole Palmer ahead of their upcoming clash at Stamford Bridge. Glasner, who is preparing his team for their first Premier League points of the season, has acknowledged the challenge Palmer poses to any opponent.
In the build-up to Sunday’s match, Glasner praised Palmer for his pivotal role in Chelsea’s squad, noting the skill and talent the young player brings to the field. He emphasized, “Cole Palmer is a threat to any team, so we need to handle him well so he won’t make us suffer.”
Reflecting on Chelsea’s recent Europa League match against Servette, where they rotated eight or nine players, Glasner still observed a high level of quality in the team, particularly in their offensive talent and pace. He highlighted Palmer’s recent performance, where he provided three assists to Noni Madueke, who scored a hat-trick, as a key factor to watch out for in the upcoming game.
Despite Palace’s recent struggles, Glasner is aware of the challenge ahead, acknowledging that on paper, Chelsea is the stronger team and should be favored to win. However, he remains focused on preparing his side to compete and hopefully secure a positive result.
