The new Chelsea striker is ready to assume his leader responsibility with the United States, and now he only thinks about the Gold Cup.

Christian Pulisic has left Europe and London after his future was defined back in January when Chelsea signed him from Borussia Dortmund during the winter transfer window, now he's getting ready to live alongside the US men's national tea, his first Gold Cup, where he'll seek the two-time championship before joining the Blues for the new season.

But for now, one of the three most expensive signings in Chelsea's history has focused his attention on the Gold Cup, before going back to London and fill the gap left by Hazard, who's officially a Real Madrid player.

The winger has already joined the USMNT training camp where the Bars and Stripes squad will have the task to defend its Gold Cup title when the summer tournament starts on June 15th.

On Sunday the US team will face Venezuela in its last warm-up match prior to the CONCACAF tournament, and during his first practice, Pulisic talked about how he felt about the upcoming Gold Cup. "I feel good, I'm very excited to be here with the guys, I felt good in my first practice, my legs felt pretty good, I had good rest, but now I'm ready," he said.

Berhalter released a mix squad list of young and experienced players, so the now Chelsea player feels quite comfortable. "It's good to have some guys like Bradley and Altidore here again; it's great to mix them in. I think it's a good balance; I think they're going to help the team move forward, especially in this tournament."

Match against Venezuela

He also spoke about the game against Venezuela and made it clear that it will be a good test before the Gold Cup, in which they hope to endorse their title. "Venezuela is going to be a good team that will put us to the test, and it will only prepare us further and help us be ready for the tournament," concluded Christian.
