Chelsea are in action tomorrow night in their opening game of the Premier League season, and the buildup has already begun.
The Blues are facing Fulham, and everyone is really curious to see how Xabi Alonso’s new project will look. A key area identified by everyone since the new coach came in was getting the best out of Cole Palmer, and the new coach spoke about that in some pre-match comments.
Palmer “determined” to get back to his best
“Cole is determined to enjoy his football,” Alonso said to the club’s website.
“He wants to be fit. He wants to feel healthy. He wants to have a good connection with the players around him. And I’ve said that if we have this Cole and we are able to reach him and he feels that flow in the game and that he connects well with the players, I’m sure that his level is top-class, world-class I would say, and that he will have a great season.”
He’s willing it into existence – we just wish we were as confident. Palmer has been off it for so long now, and didn’t exactly pull up trees in preseason either.
