Cole Palmer is determined to help England stay at the Euros for as long as possible as he sets his sights on Slovakia in the last-16 on Sunday. The forward, recalling his experience in Brazil during the 2014 World Cup, is grateful to his granddad for the opportunity despite England’s early exit from the tournament. Even though he may not start, Palmer is prepared to come on in the 119th minute to take a penalty in the shootout. The player expressed his gratitude to new Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca for positioning him on the right wing during his time as a coach at City.
Palmer credits Pochettino as the main reason for making the England squad, acknowledging the trust and opportunities he was given at Chelsea. He humorously stated that he invented the “Cold Palmer” goal celebration and discussed the support he has seen on social media. Palmer is ready to start and remains focused on making an impact whenever he gets the opportunity. He recognizes the support from fans but understands that the final decision lies with the coach.
