Fast and furious: this is the best version of Christian Pulisic we’ve ever seen
The burden of expectation has been heavy for years, but the American is having no problem carrying it for club and country right now
Milan – and their under pressure manager Paulo Fonseca – simply had to win Sunday’s Derby della Madonnina and Christian Pulisic ensured they did. The American’s dribble and finish to open the scoring against Inter after only 10 minutes set the tone for the Rossoneri. It was the highlight reel moment of the match and Pulisic was the best player on the pitch too.
Milan supporters are used to Pulisic being their best player by now. The winger registered 20 goal involvements (12 goals and eight assists) in his maiden Serie A season and has started this campaign in even better form, notching three goals and two assists in just five games. Fonseca has endured a difficult start as Milan manager, but it would have been much worse if not for Pulisic.
