Obi Mikel said that Palmer is dissatisfied with his playing position

Former Chelsi player John Obi Mikel emphasized that the team's head coach Enzo Mareska is misusing forward midfielder Cole Palmer. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

According to Obi Mikel, the coach makes a mistake by placing Palmer as a wing midfielder. His true strength is revealed in the central midfield, specifically in the "number ten" position.

Before the match, Obi Mikel said in an interview with DAZN: “What is the coach thinking? Palmer should not play on the wing.

He loses his strength when he plays in that position. Palmer is our main number ten.” Today, in the club World Championship Round of 16 match between Chelsi and Benfica, Palmer took the field nominally as a right wing midfielder.

The text broadcast of this game is presented on LiveResult.ru. John Obi Mikel's comments indicate the need to reconsider the team's attacking strategy.

It is important to create opportunities for Palmer to play effectively as a central midfielder. Thus, the Chelsi head coach should focus on using Palmer correctly to strengthen the team's performance.
