Christian Pulisic has admitted that he is honoured to be associated with Kaka after matching a statistic of his, while he also expressed his gratitude for the chance to play for AC Milan.
Pulisic is experiencing the best season of his career and it is only his first with Milan, given that he has 12 goals in Serie A and 15 in total across all competitions. It makes the €20m that the Rossoneri paid for him look like a bargain.
Tonight is the 29th edition of the Premio Gentleman, also known as the Gentleman Fair Play Awards, and it is being held at the Teuliè Military School in Milan. It is being hosted by Massimo Caputi in the company of Laura Barriales and Giorgia Rossi.
Competing for the main award are Inter striker Lautaro Martinez, Juventus forward Dusan Vlahovic, Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan and Genoa starAlbert Gudmundsson.
Pulisic spoke on stage after receiving an award and he commented on his first season in Italy and matching a Kaka stat, with his comments relayed by MilanNews.
What do you think of your first season in Italy, at Milan?
“It was fantastic, I’m very grateful for the opportunity to play for Milan. I love the city, the team, it was a great first year for me. The food isn’t that bad either (laughs).”
You were the first Milan midfielder to score more than 10 goals after Kakà…
“I saw the statistics. It’s nice to be associated with a player like that, a legend of the club, I really have to be thankful for being a part of it.”
Best season of his career. Hope he continues his form.
Also 7 assists.
Great season, good for him. But, he played RW, he wasn’t a midfielder. Do these people even watch the games?
Maybe they got their info from this pulisic video which even calls him a cm, quite hillarious if I may say so 😀 I would like though to see Pulisic moved into the cam role.
Some country, wingers are classified as wide midfielder, so they are in fact still midfielder. The same with Attacking or Defensive Midfielder. Attacker/Striker/Forwards is exclusive for CF…
Yes and Giroud is first ever goalkeeper to score more than 10 goals for Milan.
Ummmm don’t want to be that guy, but Nocerino? Didn’t he have like 10+ goals when Ibras godliness transferred to him for some reason.
They did the same when they had that stat about scoring a brace in knock out rounds or something like that when Binho did that around 2010s. Was too tired lol 😂
Anyways nice reach though, got the name of Kaka in there somehow lol
😀 you are absolutely correct here as Nocerino scored 11 goals combined in the 11-12 season, good memory IKWYDLS 🙂
I was going to say maybe Boateng might have been up there too but I’m not sure. My memory is not that good but I do recall that insane season from Nocerino. He even got called up to Italy national team due to his form.
I gave it a check and the most boateng scored for us was 5 in the league and 4 in other tournaments so he didnt reach those numbers. Yeah nocerino was pretty great that season.
Maybe the list mentioned was to score more than 10 goals a season in Serie A…
And in some country I think wingers are classified as wide midfielder, so they are in fact still midfielder. The same with Attacking or Defensive Midfielder. Attacker/Striker/Forwards is exclusive for CF…
Oh right. Could be domestic only. Good point
The problem with the winger/midfielder argument is that we’d have to do that for all wingers. I think Binho would have to be there as a mid in that case as he functioned as a winger (similar to Puli) but was like a CAM/SS. Menez might be as well too. And both would have had more than 10 goals. The stat is odd to me though
i hope he stay injury free..
He’s technically very gifted and above all, I never tire to say that, a very intelligent player, with superb vision of the game. I’m very happy with his overall contribution to the side.
Let’s see if the new manager can used him and maintain his fitness + good performance.
These Americans. He could not knot his tie properly. And who wears a suit and takes a photo with hands crossed. Smh
Being so overly critical just makes you look bad, not him.
This comment says more about you than it does about Americans/Pulisic
