Chelsea manager, Enzo Maresca, has made it clear that while Cole Palmer is an important player for the team, relying solely on him to solve all the club’s issues is unrealistic.
Speaking ahead of their crucial Premier League clash against Liverpool, Enzo Maresca emphasized that football is a team game, and it would be wrong to place all the burden on Palmer’s shoulders.

Enzo Maresca Praises Cole Palmer
He acknowledged Palmer’s contributions, especially considering his impressive start to the season, where he’s managed to score six goals in seven games.
However, Maresca insisted that the rest of the squad needs to pull their weight as well, especially with the long and grueling season ahead.
“If we think that Cole Palmer is going to solve all our problems, it’s a big mistake,” Maresca warned.
“Putting all the pressure on him is not the right approach. We have many other players that are doing well, and the focus should be on the entire squad, not just one individual.”
Chelsea is currently sitting fourth in the Premier League, and while Palmer has played a key role in their early success, Maresca is urging the rest of the team to step up and contribute more.
With a long season still ahead, it’s clear the Chelsea boss expects a collective effort to keep the momentum going.
