Hot: Christian Pulisic sends warning at AC Milan ahead of Chelsea Champions League
Tuesday night’s Champions League matchup between Chelsea and AC Milan gives the Blues a great opportunity to advance from Group E.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Thierry Henry, a former Arsenal player, recently criticized the American winger for his actions and demeanor while playing for the Blues. John said: “How many managers won’t you be able to trust? At some time, you will have to take charge. So, find a solution.
“Show us something at some time and what you’re capable of, and perhaps he’ll be ready for the World Cup and the US squad. But how many managers won’t you be able to rely on? You will eventually need to step up and demonstrate something.”
Potter explained how Pulisic, 24, was used in a different capacity over the weekend, which allowed for Pulisic to put in a stronger performance for his side. After defeating Wolves by a score of 3-0, Potter stated: “Yes, Pulisic appeared anxious, and I believe that is understandable given his inherent humanity.
“He wants to participate and assist. But isn’t it just elementary mathematics? There are 24 available, and you can choose just 11.
“Therefore, unless someone offers me a solution, all I can do is try to work with the players and the group, understanding that we need everyone. The next challenge is putting the players in positions that best fit them on the field. Christian had a good role tonight [against Wolves], high wide left, where he could penetrate the backline and manage to score.”
The star of the U.S. Men’s National Team has cautioned AC Milan that they will face a “tough team” on Tuesday in hopes that he can maintain his form till the 2022 World Cup. Pulisic said the following when speaking to the Chelsea website: “Guys who can step in and perform well are part of our incredibly powerful team.
“Every day in practice, our players push one other and put forth a lot of effort. That can only benefit the group, and you may have noticed that against Wolves.”
On Saturday, Pulisic took the field ahead of summer acquisition Raheem Sterling; nevertheless, it is anticipated that the English international will replace the American for the matchup against the Serie A winners. The American winger’s willingness to take risks when given first-team opportunity will impress Potter, who is trying to rotate his players through a busy schedule of games.
