AC Milan coach Paulo Fonseca has stressed the quality of Christian Pulisic as a player and backed Yunus Musah to have a much better second season with the Rossoneri.
Speaking to La Gazzetta dello Sport (via Milan News) after the friendly against Real Madrid in Chicago, Fonseca had nothing but compliments for the two American players that he has in his squad right now.
Pulisic is now with the team in the United States of America after his break following the Copa America in which the USA were knocked out in the group stage, and he came off of the bench against Real Madrid in the match that ended 1-0 to the Rossoneri thanks to Samuel Chukwueze’s goal.
Talking about the American, Fonseca stressed that he will be immensely important this season, just like he was last season.
“Christian is fantastic. His quality is incredible, he will be very important this season too,” Fonseca said.
As for Musah, he did not have such a good first season at Milan and only operated as a bit-part player in a range of positions.
Clearly, Fonseca thinks that he can get more out of the former Valencia midfielder and is convinced that he will be a lot more important next season.
“About Yunus, I am 200% sure that he will be a player of importance for us, of course he has to learn but he has the right characteristics to play in that position,” Fonseca said.
