Chelsea boss Lampard given Christian Pulisic advice by USA coach with Hazard comparison

USA coach Gregg Berhalter insists Chelsea boss Frank Lampard is doing the right thing by being patient with Christian Pulisic. The USA international joined the club for a £58million from Borussia Dortmund went through during the summer, especially considering Eden Hazard’s departure. "There’s a lot of pressure that he’s under. He’s at a big club,” Berhalter told the Mirror. “What I really like about where he is right now is that there’s a lot of young players. There’s a manager who is a manager who is used to working with young players, has that philosophy who wants to build this club with this group of talent and he fits perfectly into that mould. "I think Frank Lampard has been trying to say that the outside stuff is not real, it's really not – when you analyse the transfer fee, when you analyse who he’s replacing, when you analyse he’s the only guy they bought. That’s not real. What’s real is this kid is in the Premier League, trying to make his name, trying to perform. “That’s the only thing that counts. "And let’s not forget that he’s not the only player in the world who has had a challenge adapting at the beginning of a move. Look at [Antoine] Griezmann in Barcelona, Hazard in Real Madrid. These are top, top players. [Mohamed] Salah and [Kevin] De Bruyne at Chelsea, of course. The list goes on and on. Because he was the only transfer this year, a lot of attention is placed on him."
