"You could almost say definitively that Pulisic is the best player at Milan right now. I think injuries have curtailed his progress, and you want to knock on every piece of wood that you have right now, because, he's been able to perform consistently now at Milan. We'd have seen this a couple of years ago if his coaches had given him more of an opportunity."
"He's had to get physically stronger and put in a lot of fitness and strength work, he's had to grow immensely, both as a player, as a leader, and in terms of understanding his role, knowing when to dribble, when to pass, and and then finishing. Not everybody can finish, and he's become a fabulous finisher now. It's really wonderful to see, and I love how it all started, because it started in a less-than-organised way."
Christian Pulisic has risen over the past two and a half years at AC Milan to become one of the club's most consistent forwards and a regular starter. He leads Serie A goalscoring this season with eight goals despite missing time through injury. Key drivers of his progression include increased physical strength, dedicated fitness and strength work, greater leadership, improved tactical understanding about when to dribble or pass, and markedly better finishing. Early development came through informal pick-up soccer in England between ages seven and nine while his mother worked there. Milan are considering a contract renewal and a home World Cup adds to his promising future.
