Saturday social brought to you by EA Sports FC with PlayStation 5 this is word association with Cole Palmer Cole here's how it's going to work in front of me I've got a list of words SL toopics I'm going to read them and you're going to write on this whiteboard the first thing that comes to mind you ready for this yeah ready let's do it first up footballing hero sh to the camera Wayne Rooney go on talk to me about Rooney what a player what a player the just when I was growing up when I was
younger I used to obviously watch um all the football and the oldest one that stuck in my head was Rooney and yeah ever since then I was little that been my football and hero and do you look at your game did you try and model your game on his or I I know he's a slightly different player we're completely different players but obviously yeah I just think that's why my football hero cuz he was so good at such a young age and obviously what he did for England and stuff so yeah interesting as well cuz
you had the city background obviously he was man united as well so that's that's I just admire good great play as me the nutmeg King now this can be anyone that you've played with you can put yourself if that's you I've got one that comes to mind straight away don't how spell his name another in it I think so yeah I think that's how he spell his name I think some people will be surprised at that based on the amount of players that you played with that's just one that brings to mind cuz we used
to go all the tournament when obviously younger with same age group to 2002 age group used to go like Greece Spain and stuff yeah and cuz she said not make everywhere like really just in training yeah and just like in training and stuff just that's why it just comes to my head yeah and in terms of nutmegs on you is is that a regular currency nutmeg you a few times in training no not you not you everyone I stay away from him everyone else but you next up goat the footballing goat the footballing goat yeah
one name who are you saying the obvious one go on let's showout it to the camera you said it very quickly a lot of people would agree with you why message for you just the way you plays um every everything he's worn all the individual trophies just think he's the best player ever yeah Ronaldo close second for you or is Messi clear for you Messi is clear for me but obviously Ronaldo is obviously one of the greatest players ever as well yeah okay don't think a lot of people can argue that we'll go Messi um
next one I like this one biggest Joker that you've come across in football there's a few you know yeah I'm going to say one don't know you changing your mind that he's too actually I'm going to go used to make me laugh so much super Jackie greish I think it's his accent as well you know he just find his accent I don't know just just a thing he says and just like don't know just think he's funny give us an insight as a teammate former teammate of Jack greish what he's like around the place just
so like loud not annoying loud you know what I mean like this Lively loud and like they know he just makes me laugh that it's funny is he a bit of a prankster as well does he like pulling pranks on players or just more of a joker more of a joker just be me that who was the other one you thinking of cuz you were debating between two who was the other player Zin chenko was quite funny was he yeah what sort of things would he get up don't know he was just he just loved
to like mess about and just he was a bit of a pranker I think yeah yeah what just sort of messing about people's kit in the Chang room and cars and stuff funny just the comments you said and stuff just you know just made me laugh as that the year 2023 obviously you had an unbelievable 2023 yeah treble obviously the under the under 21s as well with England and of course signing for Chelsea so in one word how do you describe 2023 the year uh I don't even know how to spell this yeah is that
how you spell it I think so yeah I think it is show it to the camera surreal it is to us yeah we're right we had to get verify that both of us shout out dunan on cameraman but uh surreal go on explain obviously everything that happened the treble yeah the EUR Ros and then obviously signing for Chelsea was just like you know just made me look at things in a different way like in what way look at things in a different WAYZ CU obviously I've been at City my whole career yeah that's all I've
knew the trophies you never think you'd win and and signing for Chelsea you never think that you move from Manchester to London after being there your whole life so it's a big change and just it's Sur Real was it a tough decision for you because obviously I saw how excited you were in your statement at joining Chelsea but obviously you've been at Man City for so long so was it a difficult decision at the time for you yeah of course it was a very big decision like I thought about it for a while what should
I do like but then at the end of the day just decided to just go with it and yeah may love it is there a particular moment of all of those tough question is a highlight of all of that you achieved in 2023 one moment that stands out favorite moment probably when that fre Ki went in Spain and the celebration and then everything like just that whole game and just the feeling after it and stuff yeah like winning that was probably just that was probably that one what are you going to write for Raheem Sterling
someone you know very well how' you describe Rahim oh I like this a lot Big Brother go on I know it sounds sppy but like do a bit you know what I mean not like in terms of just like the advice he gives me St he's a lot older than me yeah he see me come throughout City give me advice when I was coming up like he's always like said to me if like what he thinks of me and stuff which just give me confidence yeah and then when I've come here obviously he he was
happy when I joined I spoke to him before I come and yeah so yeah I've seen that actually there's a really nice video that chel out and it's like when you're seeing the training ground the stadium for the first time he comes and it's just a really nice moment where he Embraces you it's something you've always looked up to as you've said was he part of your decision making coming here when you said you spoke to him did he help sell Chelsea to you yeah obviously he told me the good things about it and just
tell me what he thinks like how I can help and stuff like that so yeah he did probably did help a little bit player as well yeah one of the best that you've played with in your career yeah I think he's massively underrated as well do you like obvious all the goals he scored the assist how many times he played for England in major tournaments and stuff but yeah it's great player top player next up London obvious you moved down from Manchester to London how do you describe the capital city he's got a lot of
exclamation marks here busy with three exclamation Mar so busy the traffic in London that is a nightmare is it like you've been on the M25 probably I don't know what that is the motor no I know it's a mot I which one just mean in London like you can't drive anywhere you can't it's just annoying you're just like going breaking going breaking you know what I mean it's so true yeah but in Manchester like it is true it's a bit bit nice obviously there going to be a better traffic but it's smaller you know what
I mean there's not as much traffic but London wow it looks like it's really frustrating you that with your face it really frustrating me I leave dead late yeah not on purpose but just that's just how I am I'll leave last minute yeah or even a bit over you know what I mean yeah so obviously here I I didn't leave last minute I left a bit of time I put so obviously on Match Day right yeah we drive and we get the bus and go to the hotel yeah it was my first time driving to
Stanford Bridge put a Stanford bridge on my ways yeah went to drive there took me to a dead end and I left too late right wow so I missed the bus to come to the hotel wow and cuz there was so much traffic I was thinking I'm not in Manchester now like I need to learn to actually leave what was the reaction from the club they're stressing with you I just facetimed the guy and turn the camera around and it was that a dead end nothing I can do I like the fact you put three
exclamation marks on it just to just to emphasize that you're really not happy with the traffic there we go next up erling Harland how do you describe him in one word I think this is a great word by the way to describe him machine yeah go on you're talking about just a go machine of go score machine is build his physical appearance everything what's he like in training yeah unbelievable really one of the best trainers cuz you you do hear some players say some players train differently to how they are on the pitch but is
