I believe that many non-Chelsea fans have forgotten the existence of Christian Pulišić, the Blues No. 10 has been injured since mid-August until the earlier Champions League visit to Malmö, only one game for the team in the league so far this season, in fact, Christian Pulisic has been affected by injuries since landing at Stamford Bridge, and whenever he returns from injury and starts to play a few games, he will be injured again and fall into an infinite cycle. In today's Chelsea attacking line full of great players, in fact, Christian Pulisic's situation may not be as stable as imagined.
Came to Stamford Bridge in the name of "Hazard's successor" on the same day, after a season officially inherited Chelsea's "no. 10 shirt", Christian Pulisic's performance can be said to be obvious to all, whether it is the breakthrough with the ball or the sharpness of the counterattack, he can be said to be the most premier one in the squad, turning around after receiving the back to advance at high speed, cutting from the left line into the middle of the road and pushing left and right and then breaking through. More importantly, he has the ability to complete the final step of the attack on his own to put the ball into the net, the whole set of actions in one go, if the above traits Christian Pulisic is absolutely capable of occupying the right place in any strong team, but his competitors are never teammates or themselves, but "injured".
His fragile physique has allowed him to basically have at least a quarter of a season schedule can not play, short one or two games, long or long five consecutive games or more, and nearly half of the reasons are from the team training or the national team field, these large and small injuries are often in his best form, whenever he plays a few good games and has a bright performance, it feels like falling into an injury whirlpool, as for the injury from August to the present day is from Christian Silva. Pulisic was responsible for the U.S. national team, and he was again selected for the national team this international season, when Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel also expressed the hope that the U.S. national team would observe Christian Pulisic's performance and avoid overuse.
Looking back at Chelsea's attacking line, it can be said that it is a combination of many different elements of the master, Thomas Tuchel in the absence of Christian Pulisic to choose Timo Werner and Mason Mount as the left and right wing forwards, even if these two players are injured at the same time, There are Also Hakim Ziyes and Odoi can be replaced, even Barkley has been given the opportunity to start, if the personnel are neat, there must be players who can't even enter the bench list, although Christian Silva can't get in the bench list. Pulisic must be at the top of the ranking in terms of ability, but if the injury continues, it will also affect the development of the team, no matter how strong the ability is, but it is useless to play, which is beyond doubt.
Hopefully, Christian Pulisic can get out of the "injury vortex" and really become the "Captain America" of Stamford Bridge.
