Chilled Cole Palmer ready to play ‘wherever' and win spot in England XI
Things that Cole Palmer is not bothered about – part 89. Golf. Which is a pity as he is spending a warm-weather training week with England at the magnificent Camiral Golf & Wellness resort; the expected venue for the 2031 Ryder Cup. Formula One. Palmer attended the Barcelona grand prix on Sunday with Thomas Tuchel and the rest of the England squad, which he thought was good. 'I went to the one in Abu Dhabi not long ago,' he says, presumably meaning the race in Bahrain or Saudi Arabia. Who knows, who cares? 'But I fell asleep at that one.' Advertisement Related: Eberechi Eze on his bike as England's World Cup 2026 preparations heat up The searing heat in the United States, which Palmer will experience with Chelsea in the coming weeks at the Club World Cup. And then again next summer if and when England qualify for the World Cup, which is also being hosted by Canada and Mexico. 'It will play a part because I'm not used to it, but I don't think it will be a big problem,' he says. Oh, and southerners. Manchester's finest made a comment last summer about how he was finding them hard work after his first season at Chelsea. Has he come to terms with them now? 'No, they're all still moody,' he says. 'I think because it's so busy, they're all stressed. It must be a southern thing. I don't live in central London. Sometimes I go in but I couldn't live there.' If Palmer is a unique talent on the pitch, he is unique to interview, as well. Short shrift is his default setting; plenty of his answers are monosyllabic, some just a sound – hmmm. A shrug. It is impossible to ignore the quintessentially Manc vibe. Advertisement Palmer has a deadpan expression which wonders: 'Why are you asking me that?' Example: how is he spending his downtime at the Camiral? 'Play PlayStation … Fifa,' he replies. Like, seriously? As on the pitch, Palmer is cool, cold. He is highly entertaining. When was the last time Palmer was angry? 'Errr,' he says, after a typically long pause. 'I don't really know. Maybe when I'm playing PlayStation. I'm not just a robot like you guys in the media think I am … and don't show no emotion. Obviously when there's no cameras and I'm on the phone to my mates and I'm doing stuff I enjoy doing …' Palmer is asked where his temperament comes from. 'Maybe my dad,' he says. 'He's laidback like me. My mum says: 'Try and be a bit more involved and a bit more smiley and energetic.' Maybe she's like that but me and my dad are just too laidback, I think.' And yet nobody in the room at the Camiral, which is dominated by a beautiful Jack Nicklaus watercolour, can fail to be assaulted by Palmer's single-mindedness; the steel and hunger. It is there when he talks about Chelsea, how they proved the doubters wrong in the closing weeks of the domestic season to secure a return to the Champions League, sewing up qualification with the final-day victory at Nottingham Forest. Advertisement 'Because we had that little spell where we weren't too great … everyone was saying: 'They're not going to get Champions League,'' Palmer says. 'So to get it was good. We finished well. When we got it at Forest, it was like a relief.' Palmer has a Champions League winners' medal from 2022-23 with Manchester City, although he was an unused substitute in the final against Inter; indeed, he did not get off the bench in any of the knockout rounds. He has only made one start in the competition – in City's dead-rubber final group tie that season against Sevilla. This time, with Palmer having turbocharged his profile and influence, it stands to be different. 'I always say that I don't feel like a Champions League winner,' Palmer says. 'It doesn't really mean anything to me. When people say it … yeah, but I didn't play, I wasn't involved. Obviously I played in the group and stuff like that but it's not the same, is it? I've still got the medal, I've not thrown it away. But it's not like I feel like I've won it.' Palmer's focus is on England. Having missed Tuchel's first camp in March because of injury, he is determined to impress in Saturday's World Cup qualifier against Andorra in Barcelona. There is then the friendly against Senegal in Nottingham next Tuesday. Advertisement The issue for Tuchel is how best to accommodate Palmer when he also has Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden. It is the same issue that his predecessor Gareth Southgate faced; ditto Lee Carsley, who was in interim charge before Tuchel took over. Southgate never started Palmer in a competitive game. He used him exclusively off the bench at Euro 2024 where the 23-year-old came on to score the equaliser in the final against Spain, a game that England would lose 2-1. Palmer has 11 caps to date; four as a starter. Foden has missed out on this camp because of injury. 'It's play well at my club … hopefully people can see it and I can turn into a starter for England,' Palmer says. 'Last season I played all wide [in midfield] and this season I've moved [more centrally]. Wherever he [Tuchel] puts me, I'll play.' Palmer's goal against Spain was the perfect illustration of his ability to live in the moment and seize it, oblivious to the pressure. It was a similar story in Chelsea's Conference League final win over Real Betis last week, albeit the stakes were not as high. One-nil down, Palmer said he was 'sick of going backwards and sideways'. So he trusted his skill, ran at Betis and made it happen with the assists for 2-1. Chelsea won 4-1. Advertisement Palmer is back on the up after an unfathomable dry spell from mid-January when he went 18 matches without a goal. The run ended with the penalty against Liverpool in the fourth-last game of the Premier Leagueseason. He finished with 15 goals and 12 assists in all competitions. 'Things weren't happening for me and it went on a bit longer than I thought it would,' Palmer says. 'But I spoke to people about it and they explained it's going to happen. They said that when I get out of it, I'll be an even better player. When you go to Chelsea and you jump up and then you go into a dip, you think: 'What's going on?' But I didn't mind …' Palmer catches himself, and there is a rare line from him before he remembers who he is. 'Well, obviously, I did mind,' he says. 'But I didn't think: 'Ah, this is the end of the world.''

Geely won't build plants in U.S., Europe amid excess global capacity, founder Li Shufu says
Geely Holding Group will not build assembly plants in Europe or the United States as the auto industry's globalization push stalls and the world faces a surplus of factories, founder and chairman Li Shufu said. The company instead should further enhance coordination with Volvo and other partners, including Renault and several other automotive companies, in the U.S. and Europe, Li said during a recent internal meeting at the company. He didn't elaborate on what he meant by coordination, according to a video of the meeting released by Geely on May 28. Sign up for the weekly Automotive News China newsletter, including commentary by journalist Yang Jian and highlights from top manufacturers and supplier news from China and Asia. Geely and other automakers face increased competition in China from legacy automakers and startups such as Xiaomi. BYD has launched a bruising price war that sparked a recent sales surge but is also undercutting profits across the industry as other automakers are forced to match the discounts. Li's comments come amid a trade war between the U.S. and China that has effectively locked Chinese automakers out of the American market because of high tariffs on electric vehicles. BYD, Chery and other Chinese automakers are also making a push to expand sales overseas with foreign plants or through exports, adding more competition in key markets including Brazil. In Europe, Chinese automakers also face steep tariffs on EVs, prompting them to localize output. Globalization has come to an end after expanding for more than 40 years, and it is time for Geely to adjust its global strategy, Li said. 'We should avoid constructing production facilities, which involves purchasing land, building factories, buying equipment and hiring employees, as this is not an optimal approach given the global surplus in auto production capacity,' he said. RELATED ARTICLE: Geely, in leadership shakeup, appoints Zeekr head as new group CEO; Q1 profits jump In South Korea and other markets, Geely 'should do what it can to cooperate with Renault and other Western automakers on [utilizing their] production capacity,' Li added. Geely is still seeking what he called 'breakthroughs' in some 'key' markets, Li told staffers at the internal meeting. 'For example, in Southeast Asia, particularly in Malaysia, we must accelerate localization efforts, including the localization of components and talent,' he said. 'This is an urgent priority that requires immediate action,' he added. Geely Holding Group, based in Hangzhou, the capital of east China's Zhejiang province, builds and markets gasoline and electrified cars and light trucks under Geely and other brands. The private Chinese conglomerate owns Swedish carmaker Volvo Car Corp. and British taxi manufacturer London EV Co., previously known as London Taxi Co. It also holds shares in German luxury carmaker Mercedes-Benz and British sports car brands Aston Martin and Lotus, as well as Malaysian car brand Proton. Geely Holding Group assembles and distributes battery-electric vehicles for Smart and Lotus brands in China. Outside China, the Chinese group produces vehicles under the Geely brand in Belarus. It also produces and markets vehicles under Proton in Malaysia. In October 2022, Geely Holding Group acquired a 32 percent stake in Renault Group's Korean subsidiary to produce hybrid vehicles and internal combustion engine models for the local market. The two sides created a joint venture in London in May 2024 to develop hybrid and combustion powertrain systems including engines, transmissions, hybrid systems and batteries for their own brands and other global automakers including Nissan Motor Co. and Mitsubishi Motors Corp. On Feb. 18, Geely Holding Group signed a preliminary deal with Renault allowing it to use the French automaker's plants and distribution network in Brazil to build and sell vehicles locally.
