AND THE BEAT GOES ON FOR CAPTAIN AMERICA CHRISTIAN PULISIC
The first impressions of Pulisic on transferring this summer from Chelsea to A.C. Milan are definitely positive. He's adapting fast and well, and the fans are perceiving his attitude as a good sign for the upcoming season. For sure, he needs to work hard to get a starting role in this renovated roster, but he will have his chances. Paulo Fonseca the new manager considers him as the perfect player to overcome some of what lacks in the squad, either as a starter or as a player that can come out of the bench and decide a game
Tactically speaking, Fonseca will have to deal with the presence of much more offensive players like Leao, Chukwueze and Pulisic that support striker Olivier Giroud compared to past years. The question is: can they all play together? At the beginning of the season, probably not, but considering that the second lines didn't perform as the starting eleven players, this is definitely a big improvement for the club in any case, at least on paper.
Pulisic needed a place to shine, and AC Milan this season looks like the right place to be, despite the big changes that happened in the summer, including the farewell of former director and club legend Paolo Maldini. Time will tell us if this was the right move for him, but looking at the first yearof his new chapter at AC Milan, it all seems to be going in the right direction.
Last night, He scored a ‘cracker’ of a goal vs. Bologna in A.C. Milan’s opening game in Serie A competition.
