After Chelsea's successful win against LAFC in the Club World Cup, Enzo Maresca emphasized the importance of creativity from Cole Palmer. This discussion followed Palmer's remarks about feeling restricted in his movements during the Conference League final, prompting him to take initiative. Maresca praised Palmer for stepping up in the recent match, stressing the need for him to consistently assume responsibility early in matches. With additional support from Nicolas Jackson and new signing Liam Delap, Chelsea aims to enhance their attacking flair this season.
"I had a conversation with Cole today and I said to him that I really like the way he was in terms of taking responsibility, taking the initiative on the ball."
"After the Conference League final he said that he was quite bored receiving the ball and so he decided to do something different... Why are you waiting? Why don't you do the same after one minute?"
