A summer transfer arrangement with Chelsea aimed to bring a player to San Siro who could ignite their attacking play. Champions League victor Pulisic has indeed fulfilled that role by achieving personal milestones in goals and assists.
Yet, Pulisic’s reputation isn’t just built on his productivity but also on his tireless work ethic, a trait Milan has eagerly embraced. The American international is dependable at both ends of the field—a trait not consistently seen among his attacking peers.
Reportedly disclosed by Pioli in a recent tactics seminar for select journalists, Milan strategically encourages opponents to avoid Pulisic’s side of the pitch. This tactic exploits Pulisic’s willingness to track back, unlike the influential forward Rafael Leao on the opposite flank.
This approach is proving fruitful, with Pulisic actively involved across the pitch. Only two teammates, Tijjani Reijnders and fellow American Yunus Musah, have covered more ground while sprinting this season. Additionally, Pulisic ranks second in shots on target, third in successful dribbles, and fourth in key passes. Milan’s strategy appears effective, hinting at even more potential to be unlocked.
