Pulisic: Milan Are on the Right Track. Allegri Improved Our Mentality


  • Pulisic praises Milan’s preseason form and early progress
  • Says Allegri started well and brings defensive compactness
  • Highlights the need to concede fewer goals than last season
  • Stresses importance of team defending and preparation

Christian Pulisic believes AC Milan are heading in the right direction. In an interview with today’s edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport, the American praised the Rossoneri’s early signs in preseason: “We played well in both games. We were solid, especially in the first half, defended well, and created chances. Facing strong teams early is important, and we can be satisfied so far.”

When asked if this is the right path, he added: “Definitely, although it’s too early for conclusions. What matters now is preparing as best we can. We want to be in top condition when the league starts.”

Pulisic also reserved praise for new coach Massimiliano Allegri: “He’s started off on the right foot. He’s managed many champions and knows how to speak to players. He’s creating the right rapport with the team and focusing on defensive compactness, which is key to generating scoring opportunities.”

Addressing Milan’s defensive problems last season, Pulisic didn’t shy away: “You’re right. We can’t afford to concede that many goals again. It’s something we all need to work on. Not just defenders. We defend as a team.”
