Cole Palmer Responds to Gianfranco Zola Comparisons
In Chelsea’s 2-1 victory over Newcastle, Cole Palmer put on an outstanding display that led supporters and commentators to liken him to club legend Gianfranco Zola. Zola, who was in the stands, was even drawn to the 22-year-old’s influence on the match.
Palmer’s modest and humorous response
Palmer gave a humorous response to a question about the comparisons, telling Sky Sports:
“I know he’s an icon on FIFA, so he must have been good.” Although I didn’t see him play much, he was a fantastic player, according to everyone.
Palmer’s remark encapsulates the young star’s pragmatic approach as he acknowledges the great that came before him while continuing to forge his own history at Stamford Bridge.
