“Yes, I think I can win the Ballon d’Or”

Cole Palmer (22) is the sensation of Chelseaof the Premier League and for Thomas Tuchel’s new English team. And he is starting to become a serious candidate for the Ballon d’Or, a trophy he believes he can win. This is what he said in an interview with ‘The Telegraph’, where he also said he was ending his career at Stamford Bridge.

“Chelsea is like my home and I am excited about what we can achieve together. I am very committed to the club and its future.” “The Ballon d’Or? It’s a surprise to be recognized at that level so early in my career. It’s a great honor. Winning the award would be incredible and I think that with hard work and perseverance it can be achieved I have it, yes,” he said.

Asked about Frank Lampard’s Premier League record of 222 goals in one season with Chelsea, he hopes he can surpass it. “It’s a solid record. I’m definitely aiming to achieve it… and maybe even surpass it! I’m always looking to improve my goalscoring tallies and I think I showed that by scoring four goals in the first half against Brighton last month. “I made history!”

He declared himself a fan of Wayne Rooney and said that he is more comfortable in the new position that Enzo Maresca has put him in, which is more focused. “Wayne was and still is a big inspiration for me. I really enjoy the street style of football, playing with freedom and creativity.” “Playing in a more central position gave me more opportunities to influence the game. I like to participate in the development of the game and provide assists, as well as scoring. It suits my style and I think I’ll be more effective there.”

As for what his ideal day would be, he responded: “An ideal day for me would start with a good training session, some time with the family, maybe a little video game and then a good night game, leading to a victory.”
