Cole Palmer spoke about the victory over Palmeiras and the new star

The next quarterfinal match of the Club World Cup brought another historic victory — this morning, London’s Chelsea club achieved a 2:1 win over Brazil’s Palmeiras and secured a ticket to the semifinals. In this game full of struggle, especially the participation of the “aristocrats’” leader Cole Palmer attracted the attention of fans.

After the match, Palmer shared his impressions about his goal: “We repeat such situations a lot in training. When I saw an open space, I ran in that direction and finally scored a goal. At halftime, our head coach advised us to remain calm and to keep passing the ball to each other.”

Palmer also commented about Estêvão, the Palmeiras striker who recently joined Chelsea. “It’s clear that his level is high. We are glad he has joined our squad,” said the English midfielder.

For information, in 2024 Chelsea purchased Estêvão from the Brazilian club for 61 million euros including bonuses. Although the contract of the 18-year-old striker officially started on July 1, the clubs agreed before the tournament that he would temporarily continue playing for his current team.

Such dramatic matches and the arrival of new stars continue to bring joy and hope to the club’s fans. The fight for a new final is still ahead. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
