Palmer, who is fighting for the Club World Cup with Chelsea, recently accepted an interview with the media and expressed his views on topics such as Chelsea coach Maresca's use of him, and also clarified the remarks that have caused heated discussions.

After the European League final, Palmer said that he was "tired of getting back or crossing after getting the ball", and this remark was once interpreted by the outside world as an implicit criticism of Maresca's patient ball-handling tactical style. But Palmer specifically stated this time: "Maresca and I joked about this. This is just my personal feeling, not for the coach or others. I think in that game, my performance was a bit conservative, so I would say that. I long to try something different after getting the ball. Of course, as a player, I cannot do it randomly on the court, but I know that Coach Maresca will give me some space to try new styles of play."

As my performance becomes more and more eye-catching, the outside world's expectations for Palmer have also risen. Regarding the pressure issue, he admitted: "Suppression does affect everyone, but most of the time I will try to ignore it. I still do what I did before coming to Chelsea, reminding myself that this is just a football game, not a matter of life and death, I want to try to enjoy the game. Usually I like to divert my attention by playing five-a-side games.

In addition, Palmer also talked about the fatigue brought by this long season: "From the league to the European game, and to the current Club World Cup, we have played for almost a year in a row. So after the Club World Cup, I really need a good rest. "This season, Palmer performed well and has become a key figure in Chelsea's offensive end. His candid not only shows a clear understanding of his own condition, but also allows fans to see the players' true voices under the high-pressure schedule. Next, Chelsea will continue to fight in the Club World Cup. Whether Palmer can adjust his condition and help the team achieve good results is worth looking forward to.
