Playing for England in Spain was really hard but racism is still in the game, which it shouldn't be. I think when you're playing the best thing to do is block it out like you do with everything else.

Copy Quote
When I left City I was still young and there was a lot for me to learn in all parts of my game. To come back and have learned something at a place like Chelsea is down partly to the kind of players I played alongside.

It's not so much frustrating, it's just that if you don't know when you are going to play, how do you focus on a game? That's part of football, though, and if you are going to be at a big club you have to deal with it.

Being out of a team changes you as a person. You don't realise it but, away from the game, you can be snappy with your family or friends if you're not playing. It hurts not to be involved, but I guess you have to accept it. It's part and parcel of being at a big club.

To an extent I agree that the FA hasn't done that much to tackle the problem of racism, but it's hard to police racism for the FA. How do they police it? Unless someone makes people aware of what has happened within a stadium, the FA would never know that it is happening.

I don't want to bring my kid to a stadium and sit next to somebody who is shouting racist chants, because it's going to make kids think that it's okay to do it. It's not only affecting players, but it is affecting kids that are growing up now, and are going to be bringing their kids in future.

I wouldn't say Pulisic is there to fill Hazard's boots. It's not fair to put that load on him. He's there to bring another way of playing for Chelsea and he will create his own footprints basically and build his own legacy there at the Bridge. He is definitely a player the fans will like. In America he is rated very, very highly.
