After 4 seasons at Chelsea, crowned with numerous European titles, Christian Pulisic has packed his bags for Milan. In Italy, the American already has some benchmarks. Olivier Giroud, Fikayo Tomori and more recently Ruben Loftus-Cheek, the Blues are invading the fashion capital. Often hampered by injuries during his career, the 24-year-old winger has the opportunity to relaunch in Serie A, in a less demanding championship than the Premier League. On the night of Sunday to Monday, AC Milan will face Real Madrid in a friendly match. The opportunity for Christian Pulisic to stand out.
At a press conference, the latter did not hide his motivation at the idea of playing under his new tunic: “Playing for Milan is an honor. The food is great and it’s a bit warmer than in London. Now I want to get into the culture, speak the language, get to know the people…if you speak Italian they respect you more. I think it will be important to be myself. Conversations with clubs and managers were a great reason to come here. The fact that Tomori, Giroud, Loftus-Cheek were there helped. I hope Milan is the right decision at the right time. The coach asks me to be aggressive, direct, to score goals. That’s why I’m here, I can’t wait to start”. With the return of Brahim Diaz to Real Madrid from loan, Christian Pulisic has enough to find a place on the Milanese wings alongside Rafael Leao.
