Chelsea manager, Mauricio Pochettino has come out to urge his players to prove they are not Cole Palmer FC. He recently revealed that he wants the team to win against Arsenal in the absence of the forward, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, it will be a great challenge if Palmer is not fit to play the game vs Arsenal because his players will have an opportunity to prove they are not a one–man team.
Poch added that Palmer has been a very important signing for the club this season, but his teammates can step up as well.
His words, “It is a good challenge if Palmer is not available tomorrow. It’s a good challenge for his teammates or those in a similar position. If I were them, I would be motivated to go there tomorrow and show that this is Chelsea Football Club, not Cole Palmer Football Club.
I think they are not jealous. They only want the same pill we provide Palmer! I am joking! They ask whatever you do for Palmer, we want the same. It is a good example for them of why he is doing so well and why they are capable of doing the same… I think it is a good challenge.”
WOW.
Arsenal Football Club is an English professional football club based in Holloway, North London. Arsenal compete in the Premier League, the top flight of English football.
The club has won 13 league titles (including one unbeaten title), a record 14 FA Cups, two League Cups, 17 FA Community Shields, the Football League Centenary Trophy, one European Cup Winners’ Cup and one Inter-Cities Fairs Cup. In terms of trophies won, it is the third-most successful club in English football.
After conducting an overhaul in the club’s operating model to coincide with Wenger’s departure, Spaniard Unai Emery was named as the club’s new head coach on 23 May 2018. He became the club’s first ever ‘head coach’ and second manager from outside the United Kingdom.
In Emery’s first season, Arsenal finished fifth in the Premier League and as runner-up in the Europa League. On 29 November 2019, Emery was dismissed as manager and former player and assistant first team coach Freddie Ljungberg was appointed as interim head coach. On 20 December 2019, Arsenal appointed former club captain Mikel Arteta as the new head coach. Arsenal finished the league season in eighth, their lowest finish since 1994–95, but beat Chelsea 2–1 to earn a record-extending 14th FA Cup win. After the season, Arteta’s title was changed from head coach to manager.
