Luis Enrique Palma is having a dream start with Celtic. The 23-year-old attacker, who was called up to the Bicolor for the duels against Cuba, has played three games in the League and has scored two goals, not to mention that he already made his debut in the Champions League.
The Honduran is earning the trust of his coach Brendan Rodgers through hard work and that is why some international media are already highlighting his first steps in Scotland.
He Daily Record He published a note about the catracho to point out its main characteristics and highlights its speed and its right-footed punch.
“Palma is catching up and the signs are very encouraging. He constantly approaches the sideline and demands the ball. “He has good composure and intelligence to know when to keep things simple and slow down the game,” indicates the British tabloid.
The Daily Record highlighted Luis Palma’s first performances with Celtic.
And they add: “Without being blessed with breakneck pace, he has enough legs to outrun defenders in one-on-one scenarios and has an inventive eye.”
The ‘Bug’ scored his first goal for Celtic in the victory over Motherwell (1-2) at the end of September and then scored against Kilmarnock. They also mention his participation in the Champions League against Lazio, where he had scored, but the VAR annulled it for offside. Palma has the mission of replacing the Portuguese Jota, who left for Saudi football.
“If his first goal for Celtic the previous week in Motherwell seemed like a lucky touch like a cross shot, his shot at the Lazio goal showed that he can produce lethal doses of finishing,” they point out.
“An offside penalty ruled out the goal and, although Kilmarnock expected the winger to be ruled out again by VAR, Palma’s elegant strike counted on this occasion. Replacing Jota is not going to be easy because the Portuguese’s production of goals and assists in Glasgow was of a high level,” says the English media.
