Chelsea winger, Christian Pulisic, has expressed disappointment in ther former manager, Thomas Tuchel for the way he was treated by the German.
Recall, Tuchel, a former Borussia Dortmund boss, was sacked by the Blues earlier this month
Graham Potter, Brighton boss, was appointed to replace him.
Pulisic, a 24-year-old attacker, has now openly admitted he was not the biggest fan of Tuchel.
Pulisic, in his new book titled ‘Christian Pulisic, my Journey so far,’ narrated a dispute with Tuchel over last season’s Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid.
According to Pulisic, what happened before that [second leg] was hugely disappointing for me.
“l’d had a really good first leg performance and our following match was against Fulham in the league.
“Tuchel told me that he was resting me for the second leg and as a result I didn’t play a single minute in the Fulham game.
“Then on match day… Tuchel tells me he’s changed his mind and he’s going with Kai [Havertz].
“I honestly was dumbfounded and very disappointed. I thought that I’d earned a start and, most importantly, he had assured me previously I was going to start.
“So by the time he brought me on with about 25 minutes left, I was just so wound up.”
Recall, News Hunter reported that Thomas Tuchel’s sack followed Chelsea’s 1-0 Champions League defeat to Dinamo Zagreb in their first Champions League of the season.
Meanwhile, new boss, Potter could not also win his first game with the Blues, drawing 1-1 at Stamford Bridge with Salzburg in the Champions League second day at Stafford Bridge.
