00:21:13,379 Looks he might have pulled his hamstring as well. 581 00:21:13,448 --> 00:21:14,862 - It's gone, hasn't it? - Yeah. 582 00:21:14,931 --> 00:21:16,344 This is football, man. 583 00:21:16,413 --> 00:21:18,034 Things can change very quickly. 584 00:21:18,103 --> 00:21:19,517 You can see he's actually screaming 585 00:21:19,586 --> 00:21:20,931 before he took the shot. 586 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,586 That's bad news for him and bad news for Chelsea. 587 00:21:23,655 --> 00:21:26,137 If you want to be consistent at this level, 588 00:21:26,206 --> 00:21:27,482 you need to be fit. 589 00:21:27,551 --> 00:21:29,344 Availability is an ability. 590 00:21:29,413 --> 00:21:30,344 I've always said it. 591 00:21:30,413 --> 00:21:31,620 You can't be on form. 592 00:21:31,689 --> 00:21:33,172 You can't play to the peak of your powers 593 00:21:33,241 --> 00:21:34,793 if you're constantly getting injured. 594 00:21:34,862 --> 00:21:36,655 The injuries are a little bit of a worry. 595 00:21:36,724 --> 00:21:37,965 They're coming a little bit regular. 596 00:21:38,034 --> 00:21:39,172 I hope he can manage those 597 00:21:39,241 --> 00:21:40,620 and get a run of games because he's shown 598 00:21:40,689 --> 00:21:42,034 he can be a real threat in this league. 599 00:21:44,862 --> 00:21:46,689 During your time with Chelsea 600 00:21:46,758 --> 00:21:48,000 you clearly dealt with a lot, 601 00:21:48,068 --> 00:21:50,068 besides just injuries, 602 00:21:50,137 --> 00:21:52,586 there were a lot of managerial changes. 603 00:21:52,655 --> 00:21:54,000 Can you even remember 604 00:21:54,068 --> 00:21:56,068 all the managers you played for at Chelsea? 605 00:21:56,137 --> 00:21:57,275 Uh... 606 00:21:57,344 --> 00:21:58,344 In Chelsea? 607 00:21:58,413 --> 00:21:59,931 Yeah, you might have to help me out. 608 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:04,448 I mean, I think started with Lampard, um, 609 00:22:04,517 --> 00:22:08,517 Tuchel, Graham Potter, then... 610 00:22:08,586 --> 00:22:10,034 Uh, there was kind of some-- 611 00:22:10,103 --> 00:22:12,448 One of his assistants kind of took over for a little bit 612 00:22:12,517 --> 00:22:14,620 and then Lampard came in again. 613 00:22:15,655 --> 00:22:18,655 And I think that was it at Chelsea. 614 00:22:18,724 --> 00:22:20,275 I could be missing someone, I don't know. 615 00:22:21,379 --> 00:22:22,620 Yeah. 616 00:22:24,896 --> 00:22:27,206 We are being told that Chelsea Football Club 617 00:22:27,275 --> 00:22:29,655 today part of company with head coach Frank Lampard. 618 00:22:29,724 --> 00:22:33,862 Thomas Tuchel is going to be the next Chelsea manager. 619 00:22:33,931 --> 00:22:35,758 I'll go on the record as saying. 620 00:22:35,827 --> 00:22:38,862 I don't know if Tuchel was Christian's favorite coach. 621 00:22:40,344 --> 00:22:43,689 Tuchel only knew him as a 17 and 18-year old, so-- 622 00:22:43,758 --> 00:22:45,827 Now Tuchel came in. 623 00:22:46,862 --> 00:22:48,551 Yeah, it was up and down. 624 00:22:49,896 --> 00:22:51,793 Yeah, it was difficult having him come back in. 625 00:22:51,862 --> 00:22:53,344 He was obviously very hard on me 626 00:22:53,413 --> 00:22:55,034 as a young kid in Dortmund, 627 00:22:55,103 --> 00:22:56,758 and that's kind of how things go as a young player. 628 00:22:56,827 --> 00:22:58,172 You're coming up into a big team. 629 00:22:58,241 --> 00:22:59,482 You have to be that guy who's-- 630 00:22:59,551 --> 00:23:01,413 maybe gets picked on a little bit more. 631 00:23:01,482 --> 00:23:05,724 Thomas Tuchel was very candid, very direct. 632 00:23:05,793 --> 00:23:07,655 Sometimes a player gets 633 00:23:07,724 --> 00:23:09,206 caught in the storm of that honesty. 634 00:23:09,275 --> 00:23:11,655 Maybe his problem is that I know from Dortmund 635 00:23:11,724 --> 00:23:13,206 how strong he is from the bench. 636 00:23:13,275 --> 00:23:15,896 I had kind of created a name for myself 637 00:23:15,965 --> 00:23:17,206 in that first season at Chelsea, 638 00:23:17,275 --> 00:23:19,724 and then I didn't want to be looked at in any way 639 00:23:19,793 --> 00:23:21,344 as that young player from Dortmund. 640 00:23:21,413 --> 00:23:22,586 There's no lack of trust, 641 00:23:22,655 --> 00:23:25,034 there's no lack of quality. 642 00:23:25,103 --> 00:23:26,931 It's just maybe to be a bit patient. 643 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:28,275 Guys have to keep on fighting. 644 00:23:28,344 --> 00:23:29,413 There's no other way. 645 00:23:29,482 --> 00:23:31,103 I don't think he fits this system 646 00:23:31,172 --> 00:23:32,034 that Tuchel's playing. 647 00:23:32,103 --> 00:23:33,034 I think it's unfair for him. 648 00:23:33,103 --> 00:23:34,000 He has no chance. 649 00:23:34,068 --> 00:23:35,379 Tuchel was very demanding 650 00:23:35,448 --> 00:23:37,931 and sometimes a bit harsh on players. 651 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:39,689 Since Tuchel arrived, 652 00:23:39,758 --> 00:23:42,034 it was maybe a different Christian. 653 00:23:42,103 --> 00:23:44,482 But he puts a little bit more pressure on himself 654 00:23:44,551 --> 00:23:46,344 than I think anyone else can. 655 00:23:46,413 --> 00:23:50,034 He's, honestly, his biggest opponent. 656 00:23:50,103 --> 00:23:53,448 I mean, you have certain players that shy away from pressure. 657 00:23:53,517 --> 00:23:55,655 You have certain players that rise to the occasion. 658 00:23:55,724 --> 00:23:58,172 And he's definitely proven over his career 659 00:23:58,241 --> 00:24:01,275 that he's the type of person that rises to the occasion. 660 00:24:01,344 --> 00:24:03,586 We all thought that Christian should be getting 661 00:24:03,655 --> 00:24:05,586 much more time than he was. 662 00:24:05,655 --> 00:24:08,413 It was frustrating for me as a former U.S. international, 663 00:24:08,482 --> 00:24:10,413 to see a kid that's so gifted 664 00:24:10,482 --> 00:24:13,172 to see that he's proven it time in and time out. 665 00:24:13,241 --> 00:24:14,793 But for whatever reason, 666 00:24:14,862 --> 00:24:17,206 the manager would always select another player, 667 00:24:17,275 --> 00:24:19,620 and that's what speaks to me the most. 668 00:24:19,689 --> 00:24:21,517 And I think why I have so much respect for him 669 00:24:21,586 --> 00:24:23,517 is because he never gives up, 670 00:24:23,586 --> 00:24:25,275 and it's so easy to give up. 671 00:24:25,344 --> 00:24:27,758 Christian Pulisic, who started Frank Lampard's 672 00:24:27,827 --> 00:24:29,482 last seven Premier League games 673 00:24:29,551 --> 00:24:31,758 but hasn't kicked a ball for the new boss, 674 00:24:31,827 --> 00:24:33,620 gets his chance to shine now. 675 00:24:33,689 --> 00:24:35,724 Christian busted his hump to get on the field 676 00:24:35,793 --> 00:24:37,241 every day he was at Chelsea, 677 00:24:37,310 --> 00:24:39,068 so, that's all he could do. 678 00:24:39,137 --> 00:24:40,482 It's Marcos Alonso, 679 00:24:40,551 --> 00:24:42,551 lovely shape, off the post 680 00:24:42,620 --> 00:24:45,413 tucked in by Christian Pulisic! 681 00:24:45,482 --> 00:24:48,310 His first goal under Thomas Tuchel. 682 00:24:48,379 --> 00:24:49,793 We started to build 683 00:24:49,862 --> 00:24:51,241 this difficult team to play against. 684 00:24:51,310 --> 00:24:52,862 We'd score on set pieces, 685 00:24:52,931 --> 00:24:54,896 we'd be nasty, we'd find ways to win. 686 00:24:54,965 --> 00:24:56,620 Pulisic... Goal! 687 00:24:56,689 --> 00:24:57,655 What a wonderful finish. 688 00:24:57,724 --> 00:24:59,206 The American finds the net. 689 00:24:59,275 --> 00:25:00,517 But, I mean, what can you say? 690 00:25:00,586 --> 00:25:02,206 You're not necessarily gonna be best friends 691 00:25:02,275 --> 00:25:03,793 with every single one of your coaches. 692 00:25:03,862 --> 00:25:05,275 It's just not the reality of it. 693 00:25:25,862 --> 00:25:28,310 It was a strange season because of COVID, 694 00:25:28,379 --> 00:25:30,172 stadiums were half empty. 695 00:25:30,241 --> 00:25:33,344 Real Madrid had to play their home games away from home 696 00:25:33,413 --> 00:25:35,793 because they were renovating the Bernabeu. 697 00:25:35,862 --> 00:25:37,655 When you hear Real Madrid, 698 00:25:37,724 --> 00:25:39,275 you think Champions League, 699 00:25:39,344 --> 00:25:41,517 you think about what they've done in that competition. 700 00:25:41,586 --> 00:25:44,068 But we ended up playing them at the training ground. 701 00:25:44,137 --> 00:25:45,758 And I think we kind of took that and said, 702 00:25:45,827 --> 00:25:48,379 all right, maybe we can use this to our advantage in some way. 703 00:25:48,448 --> 00:25:50,827 We had some kind of strange confidence 704 00:25:50,896 --> 00:25:53,034 where there's just no way these guys beat us today. 705 00:25:53,103 --> 00:25:54,793 As for Chelsea, 706 00:25:54,862 --> 00:25:56,275 I can bring some good news. 707 00:25:56,344 --> 00:25:59,655 Our man, Christian Pulisic, he is in the starting 11. 708 00:26:01,068 --> 00:26:03,000 The moment Rudiger puts that ball in behind, 709 00:26:04,620 --> 00:26:05,896 kind of run onto it. 710 00:26:05,965 --> 00:26:07,275 He's found Pulisic... 711 00:26:07,344 --> 00:26:08,517 Dribbling the keeper 712 00:26:08,586 --> 00:26:10,034 is a really good option nowadays 713 00:26:10,103 --> 00:26:12,379 with these guys so big and quick and blocking 714 00:26:12,448 --> 00:26:13,655 a huge portion of the goal. 715 00:26:13,724 --> 00:26:15,655 So I kind of held it, held it, held it. 716 00:26:15,724 --> 00:26:18,034 Took a touch around the keeper, slotted my shot in there. 717 00:26:18,103 --> 00:26:20,241 And Pulisic scored!
