Is Christian Pulisic simply on a hot streak for AC Milan this season? Or is the USMNT's best player now a legitimate star at soccer's top level?
It says plenty about the speed with which Christian Pulisic is evolving into a legitimate star for one of the world's most decorated clubs that the sight of the American among AC Milan's substitutes for Tuesday's 2-0 loss to Napoli was shocking. Pulisic, it turned out, had the flu. That helps explain why the U.S. men's national team headliner was unable to help the Rossoneri claw their way back into the game after he came on in the second half.
He logged 3,613 minutes for the club last season — more than tripling his total from his final 12 months at Chelsea — and projects to surpass that in 2024-25. 'Your body just kind of gets accustomed to it,' Pulisic said, 'Which has been really helpful.' The extra muscle that Pulisic has packed onto his thin frame over the last two years has also boosted his confidence.
