USMNT star Christian Pulisic is 'having fun with the game again' after ditching Chelsea for AC Milan, U.S. teammate Weston McKennie said Thursday.
"Obviously we'll see in the game on the weekend, but in trainings it just seems like he's having more fun," said McKennie, who returned to Italy's Serie A this summer after spending the back half of last season on loan to England's Leeds, said of Pulisic during a Thursday Zoom call with reporters.
"It seems like he's more fluid. Seems like he's more confident in the decisions that he's making in the trainings: taking players one-on-one, getting shots off, scoring goals."Pulisic started and scored in each of his first two league matches for Milan, which reached the semifinals of the UEFA Champions League last season without him.
"I think there's always a point in time in players' careers where things aren't going the way that you want it to go or how you pictured it to go.," McKennie said."Just to see him succeeding, to see him being the player that we all know that he can be at Milan is transferring over really good [to the USMNT].is the fact that coach Stefano Pioli personally recruited Pulisic, who dealt with a revolving door of managers with Chelsea.
