AC Milan winger Christian Pulisic once again showed off his Italian after the win against Club Brugge last night, a game that he scored in.
Pulisic gave his first interview in Italian after the 1-0 win over Udinese on Saturday and decided that practice makes perfect. Speaking to Milan TV following the 3-1 victory against Brugge in the Champions League last night, he again went for the language of his domicile.

Any native speakers here?
How do you rate him?
For a year of living there where I don’t think he speaks any other language but English, he’s done well
He can speak German pretty fluently.
On the bad sign, he’s got a limited vocabulary. His fluency is not ideal yet. On the good side, he is not making blatant grammar mistakes and he doesn’t have a super-heavy foreign accent. I think it’s decent for someone who is coming from the anglo-saxon language group (he speaks his native English, and German) rather than coming from a romance language. I’ve heard much worse from this kind of person.
With some more progress so that he can get fluent while speaking with an Italian ref, Puli could qualify for being a captain for Milan.
Well, he learned German which I think is a more difficult language for Americans to speak than Italian. I speak good tourist Italian but gave up with German… LOL.
