According to reports from Sky Sport Italy, Pulisic, the key player for the US Men’s National Team (USMNT), has had an impressive season and has now been designated as Milan’s primary penalty taker. This development follows Milan’s recent match against Bologna, where they missed two penalties, with both Olivier Giroud and Theo Hernandez failing to convert from the spot.
Although Pulisic has never taken a penalty at the club level, he has successfully converted all seven he has taken for the USMNT. Notably, one of these goals occurred in extra time against Mexico during the Nations League final, highlighting his composure under the pressure of penalty situations.
Throughout this season, Pulisic has showcased outstanding form, netting six goals and contributing five assists in 20 Serie A appearances. With the added responsibility of penalty duties, his goal tally could substantially increase.
As Milan prepares to face Frosinone on Saturday, there is anticipation regarding the possibility of a penalty being awarded. Should such an opportunity arise, Pulisic is expected to take charge and step up to the challenge.
