World News – CA – Marsch claims Lampard did not rate Pulisic for this reason – The12thMan

Christian Pulisic played a key role in securing Chelsea’s place in the Champions League The 22-year-old scored 12 goals in 25 games for the Blues’ last campaign

Dortmund bought the winger in 2019, suffered injury in the first half of the season Although he shone in the post-lockdown period He showed his true coat then

Injuries continued to hamper his progress and he was sidelined again ahead of the new campaign. This weekend he took part in Kai Havertz’s first Premier League goal in the 3- draw 3 with Southampton

But RB Salzburg manager believes Christian Pulisic’s slow start to Premier League football is not just due to his injuries Frank Lampard has had to take much of the blame for it

Jesse Marsch made a sensational statement that Frank Lampard did not rate Pulisic because he was American The Salzburg boss had a conversation with the blue boss about the wide man

Marsch claims Lampard didn’t know if Pulisic was tactically suited He opened the sight of English considering U S Internationals are hard workers but not tactically smart

This led Frank to doubt the technical abilities of Pulisic Marsch must have reassured him that the USMNT player was causing a sensation in a tactically adapted team like Dortmund

He told Extratime Radio: “I could immediately see that Frank Lampard’s idea of ​​Christian Pulisic was largely shaped by the fact that he was American and not that his football education came a lot from what happened in Germany Since then I think Lampard has learned that Pulisic is much better than he gave him « 

Pulisic leads the revolution of American players who are now more tactically suited Giovanni Reyna of Dortmund is also a smart and productive player like the Chelsea winger

Marsch is happy to see these players end up in the best European leagues « We are seeing this change We are seeing more and more of these players developing, » he said

« All of these players are now starting to show, born and raised in America, that they are not only great talent, but more refined players as well. I think more examples will change the perception of what is the American player « 

« Christian had to fight for that, which is American quality, but he’s a damn good player. Same thing with Gio Reyna, same with Tyler Adams, even with Weston McKenzie, » he concluded. / p>
