USMNT and AC Milan star, Christian Pulisic, spoke to the media in a press conference, alongside Sergio Conceicao (read his statements HERE).
Here's what the former Chelsea and Borussia Dortmund forward had to say ahead of the match against Dinamo Zagreb, as relayed via Milannews.it:
Where can Milan go in the Champions League?
"We've done well in the Champions League. I don’t know why we win more in Europe than in the league. Tomorrow we have a great opportunity to make it into the top eight."
What is Milan missing at the moment? Pulisic answered:
"It's hard to say exactly. I think in the last few matches, we've shown a fighting spirit, especially toward the end of games. We want to show that from the start as well. I don’t know what’s missing the most."
Considering the struggles in the league, can this Milan win the Champions League?
"That’s not how we think: just because we’re not playing well in the league doesn’t mean we’re focusing only on the Champions League... We need to focus on every game, and we hope to do well in the league too."
Rafael Leao said that facing Conceiçao on the flank is like hell. You play on both the right and left sides: how do you find it?
"What can I say? (laughs). He has a strong voice… (laughs)."
Fabio Cannavaro said he didn’t notice much difference between Paulo Fonseca and Sergio Conceição. For you, what are the changes in the way you play and train?
"It’s not easy because we don’t have much time to train since we play every three days. The mentality has changed a bit, we have this belief that the match is never over. But it’s hard to see the differences because we don’t have much time."
