Cole Palmer showing leadership at Chelsea, says John Terry

John Terry, Chelsea's legendary captain, praised young forward Cole Palmer for his strong leadership skills on the team, despite Palmer not scoring in two months. Terry, who now works as a coach at Chelsea's academy, observed Palmer’s impressive performance during training, where he excelled in a fitness test against his teammates. In an interview, Terry noted that Palmer does not fit the typical mold of a vocal leader. Instead, he sets an example through his hard work and commitment. Terry emphasized that players can lead in different ways, often by how they play on the pitch, rather than just by yelling or giving orders. Palmer had a fantastic start to the season, scoring 14 goals and emerging as a key player for Chelsea. However, his performance has dipped recently, coinciding with the team's struggles. Terry mentioned that opposing teams have started to target Palmer, recognizing him as a major threat. Even though Palmer missed a penalty recently while dealing with stomach issues, Terry remains confident in his abilities. He believes that Palmer will return to his best form soon since he is a talented player who makes a significant contribution to the team.
