Christian Pulisic is delighted to have made his debut for Chelsea.
Pulisic made his first Chelsea appearance, coming on with 25 minutes to go in defeat to Kawasaki Frontale.
"I'm delighted to be out here with the team and to play in an actual match for the first time as a Chelsea player feels really good," the American explained post-match.
"We wanted to come out with the win but pre-season is all about getting minutes under the belt and I feel great for being out there.
"It was a tough one out there with the humidity and they were a very good opponent, we saw that with their goal at the end but you want tough games like that in pre-season.
"It's all about working up the fitness and getting ready for the new Premier League season. We are all building up to being match fit and ready to play 90 minutes, and that's what these games are for."
He added: "It's great working with the manager, I grew up watching him as a fan from afar and now to be coached by him is a great feeling.
"It's awesome to have him around and it's great to have someone like him that we can really relate to, so it's been really good so far."
