Since Paulo Fonseca arrived at AC Milan, one man benefited from everyone else – Christian Pulisic. Can you believe that an American soccer player receives credits the way Pulisic gets it right now? Well, you can argue Landon Donovan received plaudits during his time in Everton. Likewise, Clint Dempsey ruled the streets of Fulham for a brief period and became reliable whenever called upon. Similarly, Christian Pulisic is the go-to man of the USMNT, and other USMNT players have taken notice.
Especially Tim Weah, who came out and gave his flowers to Pulisic. The right winger wants other players to take Pulisic as an example and wants him to show the same AC Milan form for the USMNT. With the players at their disposal and Mauricio Pochettino at the helm, we can see progress for the national team if Pulisic carries on with this form. And surely we are excited to see what he can do!
According to US Soccer Plus, Tim Weah mentioned, “Amazing. That’s an example of guys coming overseas, doing what they have to do, and then bringing it back to the national team. I think it’s positive for everyone and it benefits everyone. We just have to stay focused, kind of block out the noise, know where we’re going, and be intentional with our process.”

It’s one of the most common problems in recent times. Showcasing your club form at the international level. Multiple players failed to do it, which may be because of the system they play in. Otherwise, they don’t get in sync with their national teammates because they meet their teammates only during the international break. Mauricio Pochettino can address those concerns and, utilizing Pulisic’s blistering form, could help the USMNT to achieve their targets. Safe to say, they have a lot of players overseas performing beyond their expectations.

What’s your perspective on:
Is Christian Pulisic the American soccer hero we've been waiting for all these years?
Have an interesting take?
Remember how Michael Jordan takes everything personally if someone irks him? It seems Christian Pulisic did it after CBS Sports Golazo analyst and Arsenal legend Thierry Henry blanked him during the show. During an interview, Henry had no questions for the American winger, which seemed like an odd moment. Since then, he upped his game and showcased how good he is on the ball!
For AC Milan, he remains an effective player, scoring tons of goals for the club. As we speak, 5 goals and 3 assists in 8 games playing the best soccer in his life. Never did he become so effective at Borussia Dortmund and Chelsea. Thanks to the appointment of Mauricio Pochettino and the awkward blank from Thierry Henry, he went on an exceptional run of scoring goals.
Tim Weah and the other USMNT players could take a note out of his playbook. It’s time for the USMNT to shine and Christian Pulisic looks to lead the way for the soccer team. Pochettino must be buzzing, right?
