Chelsea star Cole Palmer is entering the new season with renewed determination following his exclusion from England’s World Cup roster. While the decision by former coach Thomas Tuchel was difficult to accept, Palmer noted that being deemed not good enough has pushed him to work even harder on his game.
Despite the disappointment, the midfielder appreciated the rare seven-week summer break, which allowed him to recharge. He is now focused on supporting new manager Xabi Alonso, whose fresh tactical approach has energized the squad. Palmer noted that the team is finding success under the Spanish manager’s leadership.
The club has also made headlines with the record-breaking signing of Morgan Rogers from Aston Villa. Palmer, who shares a close friendship with Rogers, expressed excitement about their partnership on the pitch. He believes their contrasting styles—Rogers’ physical drive and his own passing ability—will create a formidable dynamic for Chelsea. The team is currently in Australia for their pre-season tour, having recently secured a victory against the Western Sydney Wanderers.
