It indicates how quickly Christian Pulisic is becoming a standout for one of the world’s most prestigious football clubs. His absence as a substitute during AC Milan’s 2-0 defeat to Napoli due to the flu was unexpected. Pulisic’s earlier performances had been impressive, contributing a goal or an assist in each of AC Milan’s first seven Serie A games and scoring two goals in three UEFA Champions League outings.

“He’s like our best attacking player right now, he’s flying,” said Yunus Musah, regarding his USMNT teammate.

Pulisic’s current form suggests he might surpass his all-time record of 15 goals from the previous season, aiming for 20 in Serie A alone. He stated, “I’m loving Italy; it has changed my career around.”

While moving to Milan in the summer of 2023 raised concerns about his durability, Pulisic has thrived, logging over 3,600 minutes last season, showing significant improvement both mentally and physically. He expressed that consistent gameplay has kept him healthy, suggesting, “Your body just kind of gets accustomed to it.”

One of the reporter’s remarks indicated that Pulisic seems physically stronger and more confident as he navigates his responsibilities, and he acknowledged his growth in media interaction: “I still struggle with that stuff, I guess; I think it’s important for me to step out of my comfort zone a little bit.”

Looking ahead, Mauricio Pochettino believes Pulisic has the potential to become a household name as the World Cup approaches. “For us, it’s not enough, we need to help them to be better and better,” Pochettino stated. For opposing teams, the prospect of facing Pulisic in this current form is daunting.
