Christian Pulisic challenged to be a Stamford Bridge hero

Former Chelsea midfielder Quique de Lucas has urged Christian Pulisic to became the Blues star player and the American can use Gianfranco Zola as a model example. Pulisic agreed to join the club back in January and De Lucas believes that he could be the one to fill the void at Chelsea. Speaking to The Athletic, the retired Spaniard said: “They don't have that star figure we had on the pitch in Zola. That is worrying. They need to find it. Chelsea need to find that X-factor. Maybe it will be Christian Pulisic. It's difficult. No-one has that experience. “For me, the one that can make the difference, albeit in a different way, has to be Frank. The fact he was part of the 2002-03 side who did it having only signed myself has to help him. He knows the club, what it means to play for the Chelsea shirt. The young players have to learn that when you put the Chelsea top on. Everyone is going to try to beat you. You have to be right at the top to win games.”
