Christian Pulisic is not enjoying his football at the moment, with the AC Milan forward struggling clearly. Against Juventus, his decline was clearer than ever.
There is so much surrounding Pulisic at the moment that it is difficult to really assess him and his situation. In the simplest terms, he is without a goal in 16 Serie A games, there is no sign of that changing and his contract is up next summer.
Ultimately, his stock has never been lower. It is the most difficult period of his Milan career so far, bar none, and chances to turn things around are becoming more limited with each game that passes.
Pulisic ‘the worst’
With each game too, expectations for him to turn things round are greater and it just adds to the pressure which he is very clearly feeling. After all, Massimiliano Allegri described the star as ‘sensitive’ post game, so it is having an effect on his performances.
Speaking to Sky Sport after the game, Billy Costacurta offered his view on the American’s performance and he did not hold back, as MilanNews relays.
“Pulisic’s worst game today. The two up front helped each other and barely understood each other. Pulisic was the worst on the pitch today. Leao? He still doesn’t convince me. I don’t know what else to add.
“I see him trying every now and then, but very few things come out, and above all, we’re wondering why Milan has to drop so deep, why they don’t defend with 11 men. When the ball is in the opponents’ hands, not everyone runs, and Leao is the one who does it the least.”
