Seeing Cole Palmer score poker for Chelsea, will Man City regret it?

VIỆT HÙNG |

Once again, in Chelsea's victory, the name Cole Palmer was the most mentioned factor.

In recent years, Man City has often had a policy of "opening the door" for potential stars to... leave the Etihad Stadium. The Citizens' squad is too strong, so competing for a starting position is very difficult. Cole Palmer is one of them.

The English striker plays in the positions of Riyad Mahrez, Bernardo Silva and Phil Foden. Therefore, it is very difficult for Cole Palmer to get an official position in Pep Guardiola's squad. The Manchester team let their young star leave to find a new destination for only 40 million Euros for Chelsea. Now, perhaps Pep Guardiola is regretting it a little.

Palmer's recent poker against Brighton helped him set an unprecedented record in Premier League history. He was the first player to score 4 goals in a half. Since the 22-year-old striker made his Chelsea debut, he has had 43 G/A (goals and assists). This number is more than Erling Haaland (39). If Palmer were still at Man City at the moment, it is unclear how strong Pep Guardiola's team is.

In recent years, Chelsea has been criticized quite a bit for losing Kevin De Bruyne and Mohamed Salah. However, having Cole Palmer for only 40 million Euros also helps everything to be somewhat balanced. After renewing with The Blues last summer, Palmer's price has now exceeded 100 million Euros.

Returning to the match against Brighton, this was the third time Palmer scored a hat-trick for Chelsea and also the second time he scored 4 goals in 1 match. To see more clearly the importance of Palmer at the moment, Chelsea fans should remember two legends, Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard. During his peak playing career at The Blues, each of them only had 3 hat-tricks. In the victory over Brighton, if he had been luckier, Palmer could have scored 6 goals.

Last season, Palmer scored 22 goals for Chelsea and scored in the EURO 2024 final. Now, the English striker has scored 6 goals after only 6 rounds of the Premier League, promising to improve his achievements even more.

The environment around Palmer at Chelsea is very good. He was given many opportunities from delicious to challenging. When The Blues were awarded a penalty, the one who stood up to finish was Palmer. When faced with a penalty with a distance of nearly 30 m, Palmer was also the one who took the responsibility and succeeded.

After the final whistle, captain Enzo Maresca celebrated happily. This was the 3rd consecutive victory of The Blues since the beginning of the season and also the first time they have won all 3 points at Stamford Bridge. After the loss to Man City on the opening day, Maresca also did not think his first journey with Chelsea would be so smooth.

As for Palmer, The Blues will not have his service in the middle of next week in the Europa Conference League, in the match against Gent. Maresca did not include his student in the tournament list. This was a reasonable decision to keep Palmer's legs in the best condition for the important Premier League front.
