Cole Palmer captained Chelsea on Saturday, and spoke about that and the morale boosting 7-0 win after full time.
Cole Palmer captained Chelsea for the first time on Saturday, and after the game the attacker had a cheeky response when asked about the honour:
“It was a proud moment being captain. I enjoyed it and it was a good afternoon.”
“We needed to win. It was a difficult four games [before the international break] but to get to a semi-final at Wembley was very important,” Palmer said of the heavy win over lower league opposition.
“It’s nice to see everyone getting involved [with the goals] and laughing, joking and smiling after the game,” Palmer said after a rout which had seven different goalscorers.
“I think it will give everyone a lift. Playing, winning and scoring goals is good for everyone. Getting back to that winning feeling was nice and hopefully we can take that on to Manchester City.”
That’s what really matters – a big win at the weekend will soon be forgotten if we can’t follow it up on Sunday.
