Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca is aware that his team must not rely solely on Cole Palmer.

Cole Palmer started his season as he finished the previous one. An essential part of Chelsea’s eleven, the versatile English attacking midfielder has an impressive record with 6 goals and 7 assists in 7 appearances in the Premier League this season, all as a starter.

These statistics do not fail to satisfy Enzo Maresca, the Blues coach, whose team is provisionally positioned in 6th place before the clash of the 8th day against Liverpool this Sunday. However, the 44-year-old coach wanted to temper the enthusiasm surrounding his young player.

Maresca recognizes an error

The Italian technician notably mentioned the management of Cole Palmer, which he did not hesitate to question. According to him, the Londoners must not only rely on the former Cityzen, but also promote the other talents in the squad, who are also capable of making a difference.

“If we think Cole Palmer is going to solve all our problems, that’s a big mistake,” judged Maresca at a press conference, before continuing: “We put all the pressure on his shoulders and that’s a mistake. We have a lot of players who are doing well. It’s not just about Cole, it’s about the team.”
