Levi Colwill praises impressive team-mate Cole Palmer

Levi Colwill from Chelsea is full of praise for his team-mate Cole Palmer, stating that he perfectly embodies the label of being “scary good.” Palmer has been prominently featured in a Nike advertising campaign with billboards across New York ahead of the Club World Cup final against Paris St Germain this Sunday.

Expressing his delight for Palmer, defender Colwill mentioned, “It’s amazing, seeing him everywhere around New York. It’s surreal and I’m happy for him.” When asked if Palmer lives up to being “scary good,” Colwill replied, “To say the least! He’s an amazing player. That billboard suits him perfectly well.”

Colwill highlighted Palmer’s humble nature, and despite the attention, Palmer remains grounded. “I think he’s seen them, but you know Cole – he’s not really blown away by much and I think that’s what keeps him going.”

Acknowledging the challenge of facing PSG, who have displayed exceptional form with recent dominant victories, Colwill emphasized that Chelsea is not intimidated. He stated, “They are an amazing team, but we are not Inter or Real Madrid. We’re going to bring something different. We’re different players and we’re confident in ourselves to win the game.”

Maintaining a confident stance, Colwill added that they have the belief and determination to clinch victory in the competition. He said, “It’s one game of football. I believe in us and I think we can beat anyone so we’re going to take that confidence going into the game.”

Reflecting on Chelsea’s success in winning the Europa Conference League earlier in the season, Colwill highlighted the team’s progress and self-assurance. He stated, “That helps a lot. This will be our second final of the season and it shows how far we’ve come. We really do believe in ourselves.”

Taking on the role of the underdog against PSG, Colwill emphasized that Chelsea is prepared to surprise everyone with their performance. He expressed, “If everyone thinks we’re going to lose then we’ve got nothing to lose. We’re going to go out there, play our football, be confident, and hopefully surprise everyone.”

As the showdown approaches, Chelsea remains focused on their goal of securing victory in the Club World Cup final, led by the talented and determined players like Cole Palmer who continue to make an impact with their skills on the pitch.
