USA international Christian Pulisic is determined to make his World Cup debut at the next edition in Qatar in two years time especially after he missed out on the last edition in Russia. Christian Pulisic was the leading marksman for USA as they failed to qualify for Russia 2018 FIFA World Cup. The Chelsea player us determined not to repeat the same mistake ahead of the 2022 edition billed to start in Qatar as from November 21, 2022.
BBC Sport pundit Chris Sutton has said that Christian Pulisic has to prove himself in order to earn a regular run in the Premier League under Frank Lampard. The United States international made a positive beginning to the season where he was handed with a regular starting role but things have become difficult as the campaign has progressed.
In the past four Premier League matches, Pulisic has been afforded with just 10 minutes of playing time and that has resulted from the fact that Callum Hudson-Odoi, Mason Mount, Pedro and Willian are all ahead of him in the selection order. Speaking on Radio 5 Live, Sutton said that Lampard does not have an agenda against the former Borussia Dortmund man but he is certainly not a favourite with the Blues boss.
Continue reading →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.
Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck has admitted that the club are hoping to boost the fanbase in the United States of America with the summer arrival of Christian Pulisic. The west London giants pursued the signature of the attacker from Dortmund during the January transfer window, but he was instantly loaned back to the German club for the rest of the season.
United States international Christian Pulisic has dropped a suggestion that he could feature on the left wing when he makes the move to Chelsea in the summer. The 20-year-old signed for the Blues from Borussia Dortmund during the winter transfer window but he was instantly loaned back to the German club for the remainder of the campaign.
Former USA international Alexi Lalas believes Christian Pulisic should pursue a bigger challenge elsewhere following his promising form for Borussia Dortmund over the past few years. The 20-year-old has been regularly linked with a big-money move away from Dortmund and of late, there are suggestions that Chelsea have already reached a verbal agreement with the German side to pursue his signature.
