John Terry says Chelsea have a ‘phenomenal’ talent who reminds him of Gianfranco Zola
Chelsea are currently a work in progress under Enzo Maresca as they remain in pursuit of a Premier League top-four spot, plus the Europa Conference League.
Although it’s not been smooth sailing ami🃏d a recent loss in form, the Blues certainly have a squad strong enough to get over the line in both competitions.
Chelsea have plenty of talented younꦏg players who have an incredibly bright future💞 in the game and are only set to get better and better.
Now, Stamford Bridge legend John Terry has spoken highly of a “phen♉omenal” talent in Chelsea’s ran🍒ks that reminds him of Gianfranco Zola.
John Terry hails ‘phenomenal’ Chelsea star Cole Palmer
Terry, speaking to talkSPORT, sung Cole Palmer’s praises in wake oꦕf an incredible risܫe to prominence at Chelsea.
The Blues legend spoke of how Palm🐭er’s quality♑ and football IQ are so high that it’s almost “too easy” for him to play the game.
Terry also compared Palmer to Zola due to the way they can find and get in꧙to space anywhere on the pitch.
“It seems to beཧ too easy for him at times,” said Terry.
“He strolls through games a little bit, but he’s so far ahead of everyone else in terms of the way ꦏhe ✱sees the game. He always plays that forward pass.
“He’s never 🦹lookinཧg for the simple one. I think him and [Nicolas] Jackson have a really good relationship as well.
“Nico likes to play on people’s shoulders, which a lot of st💟rikers don’t do nowadays as well. But he’s just been phe꧋nomenal.
“When you go to these games at the Bridge you can’t help but just watch and follow him. The ball’s at the other en🔴d of the pitch, and you’re just watching his move🎀ment.
“He’s always on the half-turn, getting in little pocke🤡ts.
“Zola ꦐused to find himself in areas that he didn’t even know existed. He’s the same as well, but he turns and wants to drive at people and play forward, which I think is the key to it.”
What Joe Cole has said about Cole Palmer amid goal drought
As the season wears on, the sheer amount of games can take its🌳 toll on players who started the season strongly.
Palmer has suffered a bit of a downturn in for🌊m recently, failing to score or register an assist since netting against Bournemouth in mid-January.
Joe Cole, who played alongside Terry at Chelsea, had some words of reassurance for Palmer earl♛i꧅er in March.
Cole suggested that what Palmer is going thr꧅ough is normal, and he🐈’ll have “loads of spel෴ls like this in his career”.
The forme🌊r England international stressed that Palmer nee🃏ds to keep his cool and stated that “the dry spell will end” eventually.
“Co🌌le Palmer will have loads of spells like this in his career,” said Colꦏe.
“He just needs to be ca🐬lm and smooth, he looks like the coolest man in the room.
“It could be affecting him but what he needs to know is – listen, you’re goinᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚg through a dry spell, it will end.”
