The US midfielder, back from the best season at the construction level, did not respond to the call of his national team to recover energy in view of the recovery: “It was my choice. Modric? My grandfather’s idol”

Christian Pulisic can’t wait to start again. The American star of Milan took days of rest, giving up the call of his national team. This created some controversy in the United States: “It is a choice of mine, I had never made it in the past, but I think it is right – says the Rossoneri wing to CBS Sports Golazo -. I’m fine, I am in shape, but I want to focus on the new season with my club”. Also because the last one did not go very well, although Christian lived the best vintage of his career at the construction level: “I arrived in a club that showed me a lot of trust and I felt good from the beginning. I feel that I am growing in trust and in all aspects of my game, and this has brought me where I am today. Mentically and physically it is always hard. With the number of games we play this year … It is difficult to understand for people outside. However, Pulisic is electrified by the arrival of Massimiliano Allegri on the bench: “McKennie told me well, he told me that he is a very fun, but also super passionate coach. A typical Italian, in short (laughs editor’s note). I am very excited by being able to work with him and his staff”.

Who goes and who comes

In the new Milan, Captain America could also find Luka Modric. “I had exchanged the shirt with him in a Chelsea-Real Madrid. I had to do it: my grandfather has Croatian blood and Modric is so his idol that he called his dog Luka.” For a footballer who should soon land in Milanello, here is a friend who, however, could empty the locker: Yunus Musah, a Pulisic national teammate. “Yunus is a guy who works hard and a player with great potential. Because he did not impose himself on Milan? I also passed there in some moments of his career: you work at best, but things are not succeeded … I am however convinced that Musah will have a great career, especially if he finds continuity and trust”.
