Zlatan Ibrahimovic Advises Christian Pulisic To Make the Most of Resources Given to Him and ‘Grow’ From His Last Season

The time is now for Christian Pulisic. To Pulisic’s fortune, he will be guided by Mauricio Pochettino with the national team and will play alongside some of the elite players in the world at AC Milan. However, the coming season becomes one of the most crucial phases for the USWNT star as he aims to prove his mettle as a top-level player in Europe. Hence, former club player and assistant coach Zlatan Ibrahimovic has now opened up on how the American talent can utilize the situation and consolidate his stature.

Speaking on CBS Sports Ibra feels that the facilities and club ecosystem of AC Milan are ideal for the attacking midfielder to get better from here. He stated, “For me, Christian did his best season last year in his whole career. He came on double numbers with goals and assists and he had an amazing season. Unfortunately, he didn’t win a trophy but this season we will change that,” expressing confidence in the 25-year-old.

He continued saying, “You can see he’s happy.” “We give him the space he needs and the happiness and then it’s up to him. Last year he was phenomenal, so you just have to continue and grow up from here,” focusing on enhancing performance from this season.

Christian Pulisic, in his relatively brief career, already experienced great success in Europe. Winning the UEFA Champions League and the Club World Cup with Chelsea earlier, he would have been content enough but individually it was the last season that he contributed to his club the most. The Hershey-born registered 15 goals and 11 assists in all competitions for 2023-23 and already sparked optimism for this season.

Christian Pulisic starts promisingly amid struggling AC Milan

Christian Pulisic landed in one of Europe’s most iconic clubs AC Milan. But the team has been struggling for the last couple of seasons and it appears to have started on a similar note not registering a win in their opening two league games this season. However, Pulisic resumed his scoring duties being the only formidable player for the Rossoneri against Parma yesterday. In addition, the former Chelsea winger also got into the history books becoming the first USMNT star to register goals in 10 seasons in Europe’s top 5 leagues. But that did stop Parma from winning the game 2-1.

Meanwhile, Pulisic will aim to contribute as much as he can to his club as much as possible. The spell will also prepare him for the 2026 World Cup co-hosted by the USA as experts also feel that USMNT’s players would need to show adequate performances with their club to impress incoming manager Mauricio Pochettino. Therefore, Zlatan’s piece of advice for the player could prove to be a valuable one as he embarks on one of the most interesting phases of his career. And whether he would utilize it to his best, only time will reveal.
