Lampard is delighted with Pulisic
“Really satisfied today. It has been a difficult period for him with the injury and he is frustrated because he wants to play,“Lampard said after the game.
“Having played 65 minutes in Seville, I knew this match would have a lot of energy for the players and I thought it wise to put him on the bench.
“My plan was probably to give him 30 minutes, but play the game time he played, with the intensity of the game and get his goal. He has an incredible gift, it sounds simple, but coming to the six-yard box like a wide man, because there is where the goals are.
“So he was delighted that he achieved his goal and now he’s only going to get stronger.. “
This was Pulisic’s fifth game of the season because he already suffered two injuries early in the season. That is why Lampard has a specific plan with the American international, as he is an important player in Chelsea’s aspirations to win titles this year.
