With five consecutive victories in the league racked up and second place secured it would be fair to remark that AC Milan are on a good run, and Christian Pulisic has been a key part of it.
As Calciomercato.com write, Pulisic never stops and has already broken his personal record for goals in a single league season (10) . He did it in his own way with a goal that is a real gem: a left-footed shot that bent inside the far post.
It was the kind of goal that first established himself on the European stage when he broke out with Borussia Dortmund and eventually convinced Chelsea to pay €64m for him a few years ago.
When you feel loved and at the centre of the project, the results come as a direct consequence, especially if you have the technical quality of a player like the American.
Pulisic found the right environment to grow again after a difficult last season at Chelsea, to write an even more impressive page in his footballing history. Pulisic and the Rossoneri immediately struck up a bond.
It went from the first informal contacts last spring to the negotiations which were then closed thanks to the good relations between the American owners of Chelsea and Milan.
Against Lecce, Pioli deployed him as an attacking midfielder, obtaining positive responses across the board. The goal was just the icing on the cake of a complete performance, and he continues to make the €22m that the club spent look like a bargain.
