"Just when it seems that he cannot get any more important to AC Milan, Christian Pulisic has found another gear. La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) writes this morning that we've never seen Pulisic this strong. He has always been a superhero - Captain America by nickname - but never before in his career had he scored a goal every 64 minutes, leading his team to first place in the league."
"Instead, he touches the ball from the left, almost returning to his roots. At Borussia Dortmund, with the national team, and at Chelsea, he often received the ball from the left winger position, allowing him to cut inside and finish on goal. Clearly, the fact that he's virtually never played alongside Rafael Leao has an impact. The Portuguese also likes to start from the left, although in his new role as a centre-forward, he's less inclined to move out wide."
Christian Pulisic has surged into exceptional goal-scoring form at AC Milan, scoring a goal every 64 minutes and helping the team reach first place in the league. He has scored seven goals in nine league games, nine in twelve including the cup. A positional shift under Massimiliano Allegri has made him more incisive: in the 3-5-2 he plays with more freedom to touch the ball from the left and cut inside to finish. He is less involved in buildup, with reductions in passing, crossing, dribbling, fouls suffered and recoveries, but he is markedly more lethal in front of goal.
