“But we are seeing this change. We’re seeing them develop more and more.
“Even Frank Lampard, when I spoke to him in the preseason a year ago, was talking to him about having Christian Pulisic and he said, ‘Yes, he was given a lot to be informed about, so let’s see how he’s doing. “.
“I said, ‘Look, he in Dortmund, and they had a superior point of tactical thinking, playing, and he did very well. “
“He was considered one of Germany’s most productive young players and is in a player organization with Timo Werner, Kai Havertz, Joshua Kimmich, that type of player.
“I was in an organization with those players, and it wasn’t just because I was talented, but because I understood tactics and understood how to have compatibility in the game and developed a smart way to play.
“I can see immediately that Frank Lampard’s Christian Pulisic concept was largely formed by the fact that he was American and not because his football education came here much of what happened in Germany.
“Since then, I Lampard has learned that Pulisic is much bigger than he has attributed to him.

“Given the fact that Europe’s biggest clubs are almost unanimous in their preference to open currency gates after the Covid-19 crisis, attractiveness becomes even greater.
