Not even yesterday’s match against the team at the bottom of the table was enough for Christian Pulisic to break his drought in this cursed 2026. The American forward, still without a goal in the new year, disappointed once again at the Bentegodi, making numerous mistakes and never truly influencing the game.
'Captain America' now looks completely unrecognisable, and his regression compared to the first part of the season (when he was often decisive with his goals) is quite remarkable. This was reported this morning by Corriere della Sera newspaper.
Speaking to DAZN after the match, Massimiliano Allegri commented on his attackers’ performance:
"At certain moments, we could have attacked the space in behind more with our forwards, which would have stretched Verona. However, the most important and positive thing was everyone’s contribution when we didn’t have possession. In the situations where we were under a bit of pressure, they were mostly scrappy moments, apart from the chance we conceded at the end of the first half. The team really wanted to take home this win because they understood how important it was. We’re at the end of the season, results matter more than attractive play or good football. It’s normal."
