Christian Pulisic Reacts To Eden Hazard’s Comparison Ahead Of Madrid Clash

Christian Pulisic has reacted to Eden Hazard’s comparison saying he’s trying his best to be his own player rather than focus on the comparisons. Though, the American, admits Eden Hazard was an incredible player at Chelsea.

“He was an incredible player at this football club,” Christian Pulisic said while addressing Eden Hazard’s comparison, as per Chelsea’s official site.

“He was someone who I definitely looked up to. I am not comparing myself to him in any way or trying to be like him. I’m my own player and I’m doing my best for this club. It’s an honor to hear comparisons but I still have a way to go.

“We’re moving on without him. I never played with him so I only know how it is without him. We are in a good place now. We are in the semi-final of the Champions League. We have got a lot to play for this season, and this team definitely is in a good situation.

“Champions League semi-finals don’t come around every day. It’s an amazing time for us. Personally I’ve been looking forward to this game for weeks. It’s a big moment, there are nerves and a lot of preparation involved.

“The key is going to be having a really good start to the match, showing our energy and showing we’re ready for this competition.
