Chelsea manager, Thomas Tuchel has come out to defend his decision to play Christian Pulisic as a right wing-back. He recently had his say while speaking with the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, the American is a player who can play multiple positions, so it’ll improve his chances of getting into the team more often.
He added that Pulisic will definitely play a lot of minutes this season and he’ll score lots of goals.
His words, “Yeah, it’s true we moved him around a little bit, but in the end they want to play, and it’s a good thing if they can play more positions.”
“You can always argue I would have been more consistent or better if I had one clear position, but maybe then you have less minutes or you face even more competition, because up front we have two or three players in every position.”
“So first of all it’s a good thing, it was also a bad sign because it means we had trouble on the left and right wing-back with injuries and he helped us out there.”
“We are happy with the impact that he has.”
“He can play a lot of minutes, he needs to play a lot of minutes, he has a physical ability that can help us.”
“Of course everybody wants him to have numbers, everybody wants him to be effective, and we can improve everybody, we can improve on that. And from there we go, this is the situation.”
