Christian Pulisic has explained why he feels so settled at AC Milan, while he also revealed some details about his relationship with head coach Stefano Pioli.
Pulisic is a very strong candidate for signing of the season in Serie A given that he has scored 15 goals across all competitions, nailing down a start spot with Milan after a difficult last couple of seasons at Chelsea.
Given that the Rossoneri paid around €20m for Pulisic as per virtually every source an excellent investment for Milan, who had long since needed an upgrade on the right wing. Now, he could potentially be worth double what was paid.
Pulisic gave an interview to Il Giornale in which he spoke about a number of different topics from his switch to playing on the right wing to the team’s difficulties in big games this season.
What is it like being a Milan player and living in Italy?
“I really like Italy, I like Milan. I live just outside the city, in the greenery and tranquility, I love the cuisine, the climate a little less these days: it’s more like London than Milan, it’s always raining!
“The world of Milan enchanted me with the enthusiasm I felt at the stadium and in the city. I rarely go to the clubs in the centre: if they see me, they get out of the car and stop me to ask for photos and autographs.”
Pioli played a big part in your decision to join…
“During that conversation Pioli told me exactly what he would have wanted from me, in which role he would have used me. And, unlike some of his colleagues, he never failed in that commitment throughout the season.”
