That is the path to immortality. Very few players have played in teams for club and country were they were the only world class players in either and carried both teams to titles. Maradona is best example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesper 30,161 Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Friday July 3 2020 Football Nerd Young American: Why Christian Pulisic is Project Restart's in-form player By Daniel Zeqiri Christian Pulisic is flourishing since football resumed CREDIT: GETTY IMAGES It seems that technical players with a change of gear are thriving in Project Restart's relaxed atmosphere, and no player has looked more devilish than Chelsea's Christian Pulisic. The winger has scored twice and won a penalty in Chelsea's three league games since lockdown, and now has more Premier League goals than any player aged 21 or younger this season. There was a period in the second half of Wednesday's defeat to West Ham when the American bordered on unplayable, slaloming past opponents with an ease that will have Watford's defenders on edge before they face Chelsea on Saturday night. Competition is fierce on Chelsea's flanks, with Pedro and Willian committed until the end of the season and Callum Hudson-Odoi another high-class option. Mason Mount has also been used from the sides and summer arrivals Hakim Ziyech and Timo Werner will add even more productivity. Frank Lampard had Pulisic on the bench for much of the first half of the season, but the 21-year-old is a growing influence who looks like he could nail down a starting spot on the left of Chelsea's attack. Since the Premier League resumed, no player has had more touches in the opposition's penalty area. Pulisic has adapted quickly to a new league, although living in Pennsylvania, England and Michigan as a child before moving to Germany to join Borussia Dortmund aged 16 surely cultivates a certain worldliness. Of the Chelsea players with more than 1,000 league minutes, Pulisic has made the most successful dribbles per 90 minutes with 2.94 per game from an average 5.10 attempted. There is a degree of risk in Pulisic's game, but it is worth the reward of opening teams up when he beats his man and it is plain to see why Chelsea identified him to replace Eden Hazard. Pulisic is no show pony, however. Of the Chelsea players with more than five league starts this season, only Tammy Abraham has a higher tally for expected goals and expected assists combined per 90 minutes. Pulisic's 0.64 xG+xA per 90 minutes is on the coat-tails of Sadio Mane who has registered 0.70. Pulisic becoming an integral part of Lampard's best XI could spell trouble for Abraham. Although a striker, there is a theory that Werner could play from the left alongside Abraham with Ziyech bound to be a starter from the right. With Pulisic flourishing, accommodating both strikers could prove difficult for Lampard, which is the most first-world of first-world problems. killer1257 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never saw him play that role at BVB Yeah. He switched to the RW for 10-15 minutes in the second half and he certainly didn't look effective there. Pulisic has mentioned he prefers/likes to play on the LW and in the No.10 position. And speaking of Lampard deserving credit, he also influenced me to play Pulisic on the LW instead of RW in Football Manager and it has worked wonders. Becomes a goal and assist machine as an Inside Forward. killer1257 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vytis33 1,270 Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Those are big shoes to fill but I will say when he runs at people he does instill an Eden-esque fear in defenders. Loved how he kept pushing to get a goal even into stoppage time. Stats and Supermonkey92 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 He ain’t as robust as hazard but he is even quicker and also works hard against the ball. Great defensive shift from him today. Superb attitude. NikkiCFC, killer1257 and kellzfresh 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superb attitude. If he continues like that, opponents will foul him like Hazard and I am not so sure if Pulisic can handle that. Hazard was the most fouled player from 2010-2019. He got fouled 1030 times. 230 fouls more than second place and I think second place was Messi Gesendet von meinem VOG-L29 mit Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
