Cole Palmer admits he didn’t even expect his “difficult decision” to pay off so quickly.
Palmer was one of the Premier League’s standout players last season and his 22 league goals secured him a spot in England’s Euro squad. But this comes after Palmer left Manchester City last summer to sign for Chelsea for £42. 5. I’m trying to get more consistent football in the first team.
Palmer arrived at City in the Under-8 category and Pep Guardiola’s men had just won the treble, but the England striker was determined to push his career forward. Chelsea star Palmer said: “I wanted to play football and show everyone what I can do. I felt like I was ready, but I didn’t think it would go that well!
“It’s my first season and I thought it would happen, hopefully, play, but it was much better than I could have imagined. I feel that it was justified. I came here to play football. I made the difficult decision to leave. Man City and move to Chelsea, but fortunately it is paying off and I hope it continues to do so.
Palmer won the European Under-21 Championship with England last summer and his form this season has propelled him into the senior national team. Gareth Southgate praised him for his performances at Chelsea. He has two international caps and is self-confident. that England can spend all of this summer.
“There’s a lot of skill on the team, everybody can see it,” Palmer said. “I’m very happy to be able to go there to constitute England, we have players. Hopefully the team can combine and prove itself. “The enthusiasts are amazing and I just need everyone to be proud.
“I knew some City and Chelsea veterans and it was smart to be there, but it was very different from the Under-21s. I’ve only been there twice, so I’m not used to it, but being selected will help me. “I get used to it. It is another because it is more intense, there are professionals who have been worried for many years. That’s smart. “
Palmer, who supports the Cif Re-Kicks initiative, grew up watching Wayne Rooney as a Manchester United fan in his formative years. He is passionate about supporting opportunities for youth at a grassroots level, having grown up playing with his peers, his own skills and herbal tricks that have shaped him as a player today.
It has also made him popular with enthusiastic young people who like to celebrate his goal. It’s a cold, noticeable finish that rubs your arms together as if to stay warm. Palmer had 22 goals to celebrate in his decisive season in the Premier League, and 25 in all competitions. Much of his birthday party stemmed from his serene finish in Luton when he ran his foot over the ball before coming under pressure.
But he has his own favourite goal since the dramatic win over Manchester United at Stamford Bridge, when he scored the last winning goal in Premier League history, recorded in the 111th minute. Palmer said: “I like United just for the natural emotion. Everton at home, Old Trafford. I’ve tried a few that I like.
“All my comments on Instagram said cold, Cold Palmer and stuff like that, so I did that birthday party against Luton and it stayed there. I have all the grandchildren coming to me to do it. It makes me laugh to see kids do that, they really like it and it’s a lot of fun to do.
“It’s a smart goal, apart from the goals I scored, and it’s a great goal. “Palmer grew up playing football with his friends and now needs to give something back to other young aspirants.
The Chelsea striker supports the CIF’s Re-Kicks crusade to supply kits and gadgets that give each and every one of them the chance to enjoy the game at a local point. Palmer said: “To have children develop and give something back to the network is a great feeling and young people deserve an equivalent chance. When I was little I was looking for new boots and with children it is great to give them that opportunity.
“Growing up, I saw how taking care of football was a big challenge for families and, in some cases, it wasn’t a reality. That’s why the Cif Re-Kicks initiative is so close to my heart. I married CIF to help other young people. People are still concerned about the game and hope to motivate them to pursue their dreams on and off the court.
“The CIF brings together football clubs, their charities and non-profit organisations such as the St Matthews Project to identify those who want those shoes the most.
Cif is involved in a project to revive the delightful game of football for thousands of young people from disadvantaged backgrounds, collaborating with professional clubs and not-for-profit organisations across the UK to motivate confidence on the pitch by recovering used football boots. Working with England and Chelsea footballer Cole Palmer, Cif aims to offer ‘free-kicks’ to aspiring young players, helping them to feel in a position on the pitch.
