Tuttosport: Pulisic the only answer as Milan ‘struggle to score’ again

Christian Pulisic’s impact for AC Milan can be seen very clearly. Before his arrival, there were imbalances on the wings, and there still might be now, but the tables have turned. 

Since joining Milan, Rafael Leao was the guy for the Rossoneri, and this was shown in games with him regularly on the scoresheet in some form. However, this has not been the case recently for the Diavolo. Instead, Pulisic has taken on the responsibilities.

The American winger has seven goal contributions in seven games – five goals and two assists – and he is, perhaps, in the best moment of his career. Last season, the story was the same as the winger hit 20 goal contributions in his debut season.

Away from him, there are problems as Tuttosport (via Milan Press) claims. This season, the Rossoneri have taken 121 shots, and only 51 of these have found the target. This then worsens when you consider the fact that the Diavolo have only scored 16 of these chances.

Without Pulisic, there are nine goals, and only five have come from forward players – Alvaro Morata (2), Tammy Abraham (1), Noah Okafor (1), Rafael Leao (1).

With Pulisic struggling with fatigue problems, Milan must begin to manage his minutes better, but they do not possess the luxury to do so currently, as the Rossoneri struggle to score again.
