Five goals in the first eleven games. For Christian PulisicMilan’s offensive wildcard, is the best start to the season of his career. Because already last year he managed – for the first time in his career – to reach double figures with eleven goals. The Rossoneri have clung to his performances given that goals are lacking from attackers and attacking midfielders, because Rafael Leao has only recently awakened to his level, while the American has been constant in his performance.
Proof of this is the anger in the match against Fiorentina, at the time of the substitution. Pulisic knows he is one of the driving forces of this year, waiting for the others to be a factor too. There is also the Champions League, where he scored two goals and one assist. In total, in 1169 minutes he gave away 7 goals and 5 assists, truly extraordinary numbers for someone who is not a first striker and usually oscillates between the right and center of the attacking midfielder line. “It’s difficult for me to choose a position, I can play anywhere in the attacking trio behind the centre-forward: I like helping the team and scoring. This year I’ve also played a lot in the centre.”
