Chelsea defeated Wolverhampton Wanderers 3-1 in this round of the Premier League, with Cole Palmer scoring a hat-trick. He spoke about relevant topics in a post-match interview.
On the match
“It’s great to get three points and score goals, and we played well in such tough conditions today. I’ll be happy as long as I can keep scoring hat-tricks.”
“I think we played well in the first half and had a bit of a lull in the second. But personally, it feels great to score again. I don’t really care about the (50-goal) milestone, but it’s still awesome to hear about it.”
On teammate João Pedro’s contribution in the match
“I love playing with João Pedro. We’re good friends off the pitch too, so that really helps me. Hopefully we can keep this good form going.”
On frequent injuries this season
“I’ve never been injured in my career before, so this is a completely new experience for me, and I’m still figuring out how to deal with it.”
“It’s frustrating. I feel like I haven’t really played a single game at my best this season. Every time I step onto the pitch, I think, ‘Can I do this? Can’t I do that?’ I overthink it a lot.”
“The club staff are absolutely fantastic. I work closely with the physiotherapists every single day. They’ve all helped me a lot, and I’ll get through this.”
"I’m not here to make excuses, I’ll get over the injuries. I know what I’m capable of when I’m fit, and I hope I can get back to that form as soon as possible. For now, I just have to do my best and fight to recover quickly."
