'Ridiculously naive': Christian Pulisic slammed for his 'babyish' Thomas Tuchel comments

Christian Pulisic's first autobiography, titled 'Pulisic: My Journey So Far', is set to be published on October 11.

An excerpt from the book, in which the American claims he was ‘dumbfounded’ by Thomas Tuchel's decision to drop him in favour of Kai Havertz, has been made available recently.

Pulisic was talking about Chelsea's second leg of the Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid last year in which the Blues played out a 1–1 and went through on away goals. The player's words didn't sit well with former LiverpoolWest Ham and Everton midfielder Don Hutchison.

Hutchison said on ESPN FC: "Oh, my days! I mean, it is ridiculously naive of Pulisic. Alright, it's his book, so he feels as though he's got his little say against Thomas Tuchel, but is he not naive enough to think that Tuchel won't be happy and he'll be having words with other managers?

"Managers change their minds. What happens to you? You're a little bit gutted, you're a little bit upset. But it all just sounds a little bit babyish to me. Pulisic having a whinge. What is the point? What does he gain from it? I think it's naive from Pulisic, I don't know what he gains from it.

"I think it destroys any relationship that Tuchel will ever have with Pulisic. It destroys the fact that if Tuchel got a job elsewhere he would sign Pulisic. Managers talk, I wouldn't be surprised if Tuchel or Graham Potter is having a conversation, not so much about Pulisic but the individuals in the dressing room."
