Sturridge talks about Palmer s big shot: He is a phenomenal player, and world-class stars have experienced lows

In May 5th, Chelsea beat Liverpool 3-1 at home. Palmer scored a penalty in stoppage time, breaking the 18-game goal drought. In a post-match interview, Palmer responded to questions about online ball drought. In response, Palmer's former Chelsea teammate Sturridge supported the Blues star on Sky Sports.

Sturridge said: "I understand why he cares so much. He does not hide his true feelings in the interview. You can see how proud he feels about football. The outside world's evaluation doesn't matter, he cares about self-demand. When your standards are set very high but fail to meet the standards, pain is inevitable. I have experienced this kind of torture."

"Playing in a wealthy club is destined to face criticism, but I appreciate his attitude of not caring about it. There are inevitably sporadic attacks on social media, but focusing on doing the best is the right solution. He is obviously well aware of this. His teammates also know how much effort he has put in. He is a phenomenal player, and all world-class stars have experienced lows."
