Daniel Farke hails the talents of Chelsea playmaker Christian Pulisic

Norwich City manager Daniel Farke has hailed the talents of Christian Pulisic and believes the attacker has the credentials to become one of the best offensive players in the world. The USA international signed for the Blues from Borussia Dortmund in January but he only made the move this summer after he was loaned back to the German side for the backend of the 2018/19 season.

Speaking in a press conference, Farke, who was formerly a youth coach at Dortmund, said that he has a good knowledge about the qualities of the forward, who initially developed through the reserve squad at BVB, he told: “Top class player. I would take him but we had no chance. We worked together in Dortmund, not directly together because I was not responsible for the first team and at this time Christian was with the under-19s but involved several times in the first team. He will have a great career, I am pretty sure, and this big money move was totally deserved. For Chelsea a great decision to buy him. He is one of the biggest offensive talents in the whole world.”

Pulisic joined the Blues after a couple of games into pre-season and he was impressive for the club with a run of consistent performances. The same has not been replicated at the start of the real campaign with just one assist from three matches but the 20-year-old should find the mojo with more gametime on the playing field. Chelsea are scheduled to face Norwich City on the road this weekend where they will be aiming to secure the first triumph of the new season. The Canaries have a weakness in terms of the defensive play but rest assured, they will offer a strong challenge to the Blues, who are yet to preserve a clean sheet in any competition.

But rather than going for any heavyweight manager, the association went for a low-profile individual in Gregg Berhalter and that might not have amused all the American supporters.

USA Needs to Cut out Unforced Errors, ClaimsSarachan

Dave Sarachan, who has been appointed as an interim manager of United States, claims that his team has to avoid committing unforced errors when they take on Peru in a friendly match. USA have been going through a difficult period in recent times. Since June, the team has managed only a solitary victory in six attempts and this was a narrow 1-0 success over Mexico. Even though United states have faced some top opposition during this period, such a meagre return of results does not bode well for the national team going into the next round of competitive qualification games.

After the recent 4-2 defeat against Colombia, Dave Sarachan says that the team has to cut out unforced errors if they are to start winning football matches.Sarachan has been appointed as the interim replacement for Bruce Arena, who was sacked after the national team failed to reach the World Cup 2018 in surprising circumstances. Peru may not offer much competition on paper considering that the team are one of the lower ranked outfits in South America, but they have been doing well of late and even managed to reach the World Cup 2018 – their first World Cup tournament since 1982.Sarachan feels that Peru are well-equipped to punish any mistakes made by the USA.
