DBasia.news – Christian Pulisic has cut his vacation time to be able to train quickly with Chelsea. Which was appreciated by the manager, Frank Lampard.
Christian Pulisic had just appeared impressively in the Gold Cup with the United States national team. The 20-year player packed three goals plus three assists. Not surprisingly, he was chosen as the best young player.
The former Borussia Dortmund player did not want to linger to enjoy his vacation. He will only rest for nine days before joining his new colleagues at Chelsea.
“Christian Pulisic will be joining us on Tuesday. He will only be resting for a while. As he wants to be with us soon, of course we appreciate that,” said Lampard as reported by Goal.
“I appreciate that (the decision to join sooner after the Gold Cup). That’s how it should be,” said the former Derby County manager.
“This is a big step for him to come to a club like us. He is a top young player. He will only go in one direction in his career. He will rise to become a big recruit for Chelsea. I hope to work with him.”
“It’s important to start the season as well as possible. I know we have a number of injured players at Cobham who are in the same position as he is. So, we really need him,” stated Lampard.
Meanwhile, David Luiz did not miss out on giving praise. The Brazilian player was ready to help Pulisic in the adaptation process.
“Pulisic is a top, young and talented player. He had just finished the last tournament very well. He tried to do the best for the United States,” Luiz said.
“I will wait for him here to help him develop as quickly as possible,” added the former Paris Saint-Germain player.
The plan, Chelsea will face the Japanese club, Kawasaki Frontale, on July 17. Then, the Blues have been awaited by Barcelona, Reading, Red Bull Salzburg and Borussia Monchengladbach.
