Chelsea attacking midfielder, Christian Pulisic, believes his team will be victorious in all competitions 2021-2022. The American player thinks the Blues have a strong squad that is able to compete with other big European clubs.
Chelsea waded through last season brilliantly by winning the Champions League trophy. Their performance has accelerated since the arrival of the new coach, Thomas Tuchel, who replaced Frank Lampard.
The success of the Blues is what makes a special note for Tuchel. The reason is, the club from London is not the favorite to win the Champions League. Given, Chelsea had a difficult time while still being coached by Lampard.
Last season, Chelsea spent a lot of money by signing top players like Kai Havertz, Timo Werner and Hakim Ziyech. But in the current summer transfer market, Chelsea is still relatively passive. They have just been linked with Sevilla defender Jules Kunde, who is rumored to be joining Stamford Bridge.
However, Pulisic, assesses that the depth of the current Chelsea squad is very good. He is also very confident, considering his brilliant achievements with Chelsea last season.
“I don’t know if the confidence has gone or not, but last season it was a fantastic achievement. That success is starting to have an impact on us. That will give us a lot of confidence,” Pulisic said, quoted by the Standard, Saturday (31/7/). 2021).
Not only that, the 22-year-old is also targeting to win another trophy with Chelsea next season. Pulisic considers the result in the Champions League final against Manchester City to be a benchmark for him. Considering City was one of the best teams last season, Chelsea managed to beat it.
“To become European champions, it is not an easy journey. We have seen now that we can compete with those top teams. So there’s no reason why we don’t feel that way.”
“They (City) were one of the best teams last season and beating them a few times gives us confidence. We have a strong squad, so I would say anything is possible (winning trophies).”
Pulisic also revealed the competition in the Chelsea squad, given the many names of great players, especially in midfield such as Ziyech, Mount, Havertz, and others. He also felt challenged to win to become the main player. According to him, this kind of competition is good for the team, especially as they will undergo a solid competition next season.
“That’s the great thing about our team, that we have so much depth and so many strong players,” he said. We have so many games that you will get your time, so it’s just about making the most of your chances.”
