Rafael Leao may be struggling. But, Christian Pulisic, on the other hand, is thriving. Everything he touches turns to gold. Against Club Brugge, he still scored, even if the beautiful 'olympic' goal was a stroke of impeccable luck.
Since joining Milan, the American has consistently showcased his qualities, which seem to have reached their peak at the start of this season.
The American number 11 is now indispensable for Paulo Fonseca and his style of play, considering that he performs well wherever he is deployed. Whether on the right, left, or center, it doesn’t matter to Pulisic; the important thing is to play and demonstrate his ability to be a leader, even if in a silent manner.
So far, the former Chelsea player has been excelling in this goal, as he has participated in a goal for Milan since the second matchday of the league, either with a goal or an assist, except for the Champions League away game against Bayer Leverkusen.
Since the match at Tardini (against Parma), he has scored 7 goals and provided 3 assists, many of which have been crucial to the final results of the matches.
In short, Pulisic is the new secret of Paulo Fonseca’s Milan.
The former Borussia Dortmund talent is a wild card considering the impressive numbers he has accumulated from the beginning of 2024 to now, crowning him as the best player in Serie A.
There’s a well-known song by the Black Eyed Peas called "Simply the Best," a title that perfectly fits Christian Pulisic’s current form.
This morning, Il Corriere dello Sport reports that if we consider the year 2024, the American is the best player in Serie A in terms of goals and assists across all competitions.
He has been involved in 24 goals with Milan, both in cups and in the Italian league, comprising 15 goals and 9 assists.
No one has matched his achievements in the calendar year. An unstoppable force, match after match, he is leading the Rossoneri.
