“He did it against Real Betis” “Now Against us” – Bruno Lage Benfica coach on Chelsea star who makes his team suffer
Chelsea booked their place in the quarter-finals of the FIFA Club World Cup with a commanding 4-1 win over Benfica in Charlotte, sealing the result with a dramatic late surge in extra time.
However, Bruno Lage believes Cole Palmer is the key to Chelsea victory despite him not scoring.
Bruno Lage said after the match: “Cole Palmer single handed beats Real Betis in the Conference league final as he decides to take the game on his own by providing massive assists”
“He makes it more difficult when he’s inform, he may miss some chances but he’s very important in this game and makes it more difficult for us whenever he’s on the pitch”
“He’s a top player and a very dangerous player”
