Why did Palmer start to slip and his condition fluctuated at Chelsea?

I don’t know if you fans still remember a star, Italian star Tavano, who is a celebrity of Empoli and a legend of this team.

In the 2005-2006 season, he performed very well in Empoli. As the core of the team, he scored 19 goals in Serie A, which was very glorious for the moment, and some people were optimistic about his future.

has excellent skills, superb shooting skills and very spiritual, which makes La Liga Valencia admire him very much and wants him to come to the team as the main force.

As a result, when we arrived at the new team, Tavano exposed his physical confrontation and technical gap. Playing in a small team or Serie B, everyone's level is relatively weak, and he can still play.

Once he competes with high-level players and presses against him a little, he will have no choice and will soon reveal his limitations of playing football.

In less than a season, Tavano became a "parallel" from a very powerful player. Later, he returned to Serie A and Roma from Valencia, but he couldn't play. He had to leave the strong team in shame and transferred to Livorno in the middle.

In the following years, he spent most of his time in Serie B and scored a lot of goals, but no strong teams gave him an olive branch. His skills and age problems made him only play in small and medium-sized teams until he retired.

Regarding Tavano, when coach Zhang Lu and Zhang explained the game, he once said that his performance was to first rise and then fall. First, he praised his skills, which is good, with the spirituality of a small Italian player and is very attractive; but he also expressed a tactfully, which is that "it is too easy to be understood."

In the first season, everyone is not familiar with you and can make you score a lot of goals. When the second season is targeted and you can pinch your technical weaknesses, you will have no choice. This is an obstacle that ordinary players need to break through.

Tavano needs to improve his overall view of playing football and strengthen confrontation, otherwise he will decline and do nothing on a high-level stage.

I have to say that coach Zhang is still at a high level, and he suddenly saw the problem of the players. Later, as he said, he accurately predicted Tavano's future prospects.

After talking about Tavano, let us return to Palmer, you will find that he and Tavano have similarities, and they have some technical foundations to be understood. Everyone is gradually familiar with his playing rhythm, and as a result, their state begins to decline, showing a "two-year wall".

Last season, everyone was not familiar with his playing habits and rhythm, and was still unfamiliar with his dribbling, passing and passing in the frontcourt, and he was not very good at marking.

Wait until the back, go up to fight, block the space, and have the habit of passing routes. Everyone can make predictions and your technical problems will be exposed immediately.

Regarding Palmer's question, some experts have mentioned the four limitations of his current technology: high center of gravity, poor confrontation, insufficient explosive power, and a broken foot. What do these mean?

High center of gravity means that Palmer is slow in starting movements, and he is prone to imbalance in high speed changes. He is prone to losing the center of gravity when facing a dexterous defense and likes physical confrontation. This is his weakness;

poor confrontation, which is easier to understand. He is thinner and lacks physical confrontation. As his physical fitness decreases in multi-line combat, he is easily at a loss in confrontation and loses efficiency;

lack of explosive power, and you will know this comparison. I have written about the technical comparison between Hazard and Palmer before. In terms of explosive power, Palmer is insufficient. He does not have the strong ability to break through the situation at the peak of Hazard.

Day of the slack foot, mainly because he is not used to use his foot, and his left foot is blocked, and his right foot is ignored, and then there is a cliff-like decline.

The small technical limitations of this space, coupled with the physical confrontation problem, are the fundamental reason why Palmer is currently performing in a sluggish manner. He has not yet found a way to break the deadlock in this sluggish state in time.

Another thing is mentality. I often watch Chelsea games. During the period when Palmer's performance was sluggish, his mentality also fluctuated. He is very positive and wants to contribute to the team.

Unfortunately, I couldn't keep up with my physical condition. The more I wanted to perform, the more anxious I was. The rhythm of playing football and the running of my teammates could not keep up with the past. Many times, the more comfortable passing dribbles, were not as decisive as before. Under the impetuous mood, Palmer's playing football was not as awesome as before, and he lacked a lot of energy.

Palmer was playing very well during the happy days of the senior year. At that time, he was very confident at that time. After his performance was sluggish, he became a little anxious and lost his calmness.

I think Palmer is by no means the "real" Palmer. He is bound and troubled by various chains, which makes him fall into a slump.

In terms of football skills, I still like Palmer very much. After talking about so many questions from him, I actually have patience with him and hope he can get out slowly.

He is still very young, only 23 years old this year. It is normal for young players to have ups and downs, and his career is also normal.

As a fan, you can also give him more time and don't belittle him because of a short period of trouble.

As long as he can survive the difficulties, use the offseason to hone his good skills, and gradually improve his skills in terms of technology and confrontation, Palmer can still recover. He will remain a very important figure in the English team in the next few years.
