Zlatan Ibrahimovic believes that Christian Pulisic should be a bit more vocal in order to show that he can fully become a leader for AC Milan and the USA.
There is no doubting that Pulisic has established himself as one of the most important players at Milan since arriving from Chelsea in the summer 2023 window, racking up 23 goals and 17 assists in 70 games.
Pulisic gave an interview to The Athletic as part of the promotional activities surrounding his new docuseries titled Pulisic, produced by CBS Sports and streamed on Paramount+. As part of it, they got some quotes from Ibrahimovic too.
The Swede says the only thing he sees a ‘little bit negative’ about Pulisic is that he is ‘a little bit quiet’: “He is known for being Captain America, but he doesn’t like to be Captain America. He doesn’t maybe see himself like a superhero.
“He is playing low profile and with his feet on the ground. But you are Captain America, I don’t give a s*** what you say, you are. If that is more pressure on you, I don’t care. It is his own fault – if you weren’t so good, we wouldn’t ask anything from you.”
Sadly, the USA international will have to sit out tonight’s game against Red Star in the Champions League and potentially the rest of 2024 after picking up a calf injury during the defeat to Atalanta.
Pulisic is what he is lol. He contributes a lot to our game and that is all we care about. And I don’t give half a fck about what Ibrahimova-gina has to say too. We are even here.
Thanks Zlatan for another idiotic rant.
Many great players (like Maldini) are humble and hard working, they let their football do the talking and lead by example.
Most of the loud mouths in football who love attention have short periods at the top as they are distracted
Ibra didn’t have a short period at the top; much the opposite. However, yes, while a great player, he is a lousy manager.
yeah Ronaldo had such a short period at the top
unskilled people always love “humble” players because you think you can relate
if you got the skills you can be as arrogant as you want, The best chess player in the world is the same
expand your horizons more
he was an incredible footballer but no idea how to lead a club
What a guy, to say this about CP just out on an injury.
Meanwhile captain Theo is suffering from depression and burnout. Captain Calabria is mediocre. Captain Leao is emotional and sometimes lazy.
Is Ibra a saboteur working for Inter?
On our team the armband is rewarded to soothe fragile egos. In this context those stoically doing their jobs are the least respected on the team.
Pulisic should have had no part in this documentary. As soon as I saw it advertised I thought… uh-oh, here we go again. Years ago he wrote a jerk book about “his journey so far”… then fell out of form and was sold by Chelsea in a fire sale. Don’t get me wrong. I’m a fan and I cheer for Milan because of him. Just kid… wait till you’re done playing. You don’t need the distraction. You may have already achieved more than any U.S. soccer player. You don’t need to tell us, and I would certainly hope you don’t need the money at this point.
Get well soon though. Milan needs you.
Don’t kill the golden goose!
