No Debate on Palmer's World Ranking

When asked if Palmer is the best player in the world, Noni Madueke tactfully sidestepped the question. Instead, he chose to focus on Palmer's exceptional abilities and potential for growth. By avoiding direct comparison, Madueke highlighted the difficulty in ranking players and the importance of celebrating individual strengths.

No Ranking Debate

Madueke declined to comment on Palmer's world ranking, focusing instead on his exceptional talents.

“Just his demeanour, as relaxed as he is off the pitch, it works for him on the pitch. He can go on the pitch, play the game, have fun and still deliver.

“Cole is a phenomenal player. In terms of the best player in the world, I don't think I should be the one to say that. The sky's the limit for him.”

A Key Factor in Their Success

Noni Madueke attributes the duo's on-field success to their strong off-field relationship with Cole Palmer. “Our positive bond off the pitch definitely helps us on the pitch,” Madueke explained. This camaraderie enables them to anticipate each other's moves, fostering a seamless partnership.

“We have been playing with each other for a very long time,” he added. “We are very good friends off the pitch. We look for each other on the pitch. I'm dynamic and he has a great pass so it just works.

“We just bounce off each other and we have similar outlook on things. When he does well and I do well, it just makes us want to do more.”
