‘Hardly have time to train’ – Cole Palmer opens up on Chelsea boss, Rosenior

Chelsea player, Cole Palmer has expressed his thoughts regarding head coach, Liam Rosenior in light of the club’s recent difficulties.

The Englishman has come to Rosenior’s defense as the Blues approach their final six matches in the Premier League.

Rosenior assumed the role of head coach at Chelsea in January of this year, following the dismissal of former coach Enzo Maresca.

Since his appointment, the Blues have struggled to find their form, having been eliminated from the UEFA Champions League in the Round of 16 after suffering an 8-2 aggregate defeat to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).

Additionally, they are facing challenges in securing a spot in the UCL for the current season, currently positioned sixth in the standings with 48 points from 32 matches.

In a conversation with The Guardian, Chelsea player Cole Palmer shared his perspective on Liam Rosenior’s circumstances at the club.

He suggested that a proper pre-season, along with a thorough assessment of the situation, could enable Rosenior to effect meaningful change at Stamford Bridge.

He remarked, “Hiring a manager mid-season means there is no pre-season, and there is barely any time for training. The focus is solely on the matches.

“However, the manager is competent, and once he has a proper pre-season to convey his ideas effectively and implement his desired style of play, he is an exceptional coach.

“If we, as players, perform to our potential and acquire the right players, both he and we as a collective can achieve significant progress.”

In light of Chelsea’s recent performance decline, Cole Palmer has faced criticism for not reaching his usual standards.

The Englishman has also been plagued by injuries, tallying 10 goals and three assists in 27 appearances across all competitions.

The Blues are now set to concentrate on the forthcoming FA Cup semi-final on April 26 and aim to secure a top-five finish in the league.
