Chelsea s internal strife escalates! The 23-year-old core is dissatisfied with the coach s request to leave the team

According to multiple reports, Chelsea core Cole Palmer has been deeply involved in rumors of leaving the team recently. He not only clearly expressed his "dissatisfaction" with the team's current situation, but also publicly supported the firing of coach Enzo Maresca, and the position of the club's board of directors has also been officially revealed.

As Chelsea's "Light of the Front" in the past two seasons, the 23-year-old Palmer has ranked among the top Premier League players with his outstanding performance. But he was plagued by a groin injury at the start of the season and the England international was replaced in just 21 minutes after making the team's defeat in a 2-1 loss to Manchester United last Saturday.

This defeat was a "destructive blow" to Chelsea and Maresca. After the game, the coach was criticized overwhelmingly. The Post directly and sharply commented on his "coaching ability was exposed, it was a scam."

What's more fatal is that Maresca made an "extremely negative" substitution adjustment in the game, and her on-the-spot command ability was questioned, and now she has become the next popular candidate for the Premier League coach to be dismissed. Previously, there were other reports that Xavi, Glasna and five others have entered the Chelsea shortlist for new coaches, and Maresca's position as coach is in danger. The latest news from the Spanish media Fichajes confirmed that Palmer clearly supports Maresca's dismissal, believing that the coach "hinders Chelsea from experiencing its full potential." Because of this, Palmer not only expressed "dissatisfaction", but also directly "required to leave the team". The attacking midfielder did not hide his demands: he hoped to see "Chelsea has a clear tactical positioning, combining the players' personal talents with a stable team system."

Regarding Maresca's coaching position, the report also exposed the key statements of the board of directors, setting a "life and death line" for him: "Always support Enzo Maresca, but admits that the team must improve its performance as soon as possible." The board of directors emphasized, "The team has invested huge amounts of money and will never tolerate another season with fluctuations in record performance."

Even in the Midweek League Cup, Chelsea reversed the League One team Lincoln City and advanced in a dangerous manner, Maresca's coaching has not been recognized. Chelsea legend Chris Sutton said in an interview with radio after the game that this was a "nightmare night" for Maresca: "The team handled ball mistakes many times, and seizing opportunities in football games is crucial. Faced with a team like Lincoln, who is good at long passes and set pieces, he has no way to deal with it. He hesitated again and again, is the biggest problem in the game."
