“He’s so frustrating” – Levi Colwill shares what really annoys him about 22-years-old Chelsea teammate after what he did in training
Levi Colwill has revealed what irritates him about Chelsea and England teammate Cole Palmer during training.
Levi Colwill, 21, a Blues defender, is now at the England camp during the international break. He is joined by Cole Palmer, a 22-year-old club buddy.
Palmer, Chelsea’s talisman, will be hoping to thrive on the international stage in the same manner he has at the club. The left-footed forward has been on fire in the early months of the season, with six goals and five assists in seven Premier League outings.
Palmer has created the most chances from open play in the league this season, demonstrating that he is more than just a goal scorer.
Levi Colwill discusses Cole Palmer in training
Colwill has shared that Palmer is just as brilliant on the training pitches as on a matchday.
He’s amusingly claimed that the Chelsea playmaker is so frustrating to come up against in training because he scores with ease and makes so little fuss about it.
“He’s not the same Cole Palmer against me [in training]. No, I’m only joking. Of course he is amazing,” Colwill said, as quoted by The Guardian.
“You give him half a yard and it’s a goal. He’s so laid-back about it and it’s so frustrating at times because he’ll put it through your legs and score, then walk off like nothing has happened. You can’t get him back, that is the worst thing about it. Give him any chance outside the box or inside, it’s a 95% chance it will be a goal. You see that in most games.”
England need to use Cole Palmer more
Chelsea supporters will be able to testify to the fact that Palmer usually makes some kind of positive impact whenever he’s on the football pitch. In particular, he’s playing superb well this season in the creative No.10 position.
The Blues ace currently has nine senior caps for England, scoring two goals. However, he’s only started twice for the Three Lions, both friendlies.
It’s no easy task to get so many superstar names into one England XI, but we think Palmer should be a non-negotiable starter in this current form.
It’ll be interesting to see the England line-up selected by Lee Carsley in this week’s Nations League fixtures versus Greece (Thursday) and Finland (Sunday).
