Despite ongoing speculation surrounding Mauricio Pochettino’s future at Chelsea, midfielder Cole Palmer has voiced his support for the under-pressure manager, emphasizing the players’ admiration for him. As the Blues aim for a European spot after a turbulent season, Palmer highlighted the significance of their upcoming match against Bournemouth, where a single point would secure sixth position and potential qualification for European competition.
Reflecting on Chelsea’s journey this season, Palmer acknowledged the club’s fluctuating form but emphasized the importance of finishing in a European spot, considering their previous struggles. Praising Pochettino for his leadership and the positive atmosphere he has fostered within the team, Palmer stressed the players’ commitment to fighting for the manager.
Palmer’s goal-scoring prowess has been instrumental for Chelsea, with the 22-year-old midfielder equalling Frank Lampard’s record of 22 league goals in a single Premier League season. Despite acknowledging the significance of this achievement, Palmer remains focused on contributing further to the team’s success and continuing his development at the club.
As Chelsea prepares for their final match of the season, Palmer’s comments underscore the unity and determination within the squad, epitomizing their collective effort to secure European football and propel the club forward.
