The United States international is aiming to stay injury-free and show his best form for the Blues
Christian Pulisic is flat with comparisons with Eden Hazard, but the Chelsea player says his game is not based on any single player.
The United States international is working his way back to full well after suffering an injury, and Paul Scholes was shocked when Chelsea lost at Wolves earlier this month.
“He’s a good player, isn’t he?” Scholes said Amazon Prime . “The number of times they got the ball into it. [Ben] Chilwell has also threatened to have a connection down that side with Mason Mount. But this guy, Pulisic, looks the closest to Eden Hazard.
“He’s got a little distance, the middle of his depth is low, he can weave past people and he’s creative.”
Hazard lifted his career to heights during his time at Chelsea, and Pulisic is aware of Real Madrid’s achievements at Stamford Bridge.
“It’s a great compliment,” Pulisic said on Chelsea’s official website. “Like I said before, Hazard was a great player for this club and I never try to compare him, but coming from someone like Paul Scholes is a great compliment.
“There is no obvious player that I model my game. I like to take a lot of things from different players. I’ve learned a lot from the Hazard game, from watching and watching his favorites, and there are a lot of players like that. I try to learn every day. ”
Although he is largely a left – back, Hazard can work on the other side as well as through, and Pulisic is happy to take on any role asked of him by Blues boss Frank Lampard.
“I’ve played a lot on both wings,” said Pulisic. “I can be very effective on the left wing but there are lots of good things I can do on the right.
“I’m learning to play both and I’m comfortable with both and anywhere in the attacking half. When I get the ball I like to think I can still be dangerous. ”
Pulisic says his goal for the rest of the season is to stay injury-free and work his way back to high form.
“It wasn’t easy,” said Pulisic. “I had a very difficult month or two coming back and forth from injuries, but I do anything I can to be on the pitch because that’s where I want to be. play. Right now I feel great so I’m blessed and happy about that. I just hope it continues.
“In the last couple of games, I’m starting to feel like myself again and my confidence is getting higher so I feel good.
“My goals for the season are just to stay healthy, be able to play throughout the game and be available for my team in every game I can. If that can happen I think I can help my team and we can have a great season. ”
