Christian Pulisic, one of the leaders of the Italian Milan and the US national team, spoke about the documentary “Pulisic” and the development of football in the Motherland. His words are quoted by The Athletic.

“When I watched the first episode of the movie, I thought, ‘Wow, I’m really awkward, and everyone sees me as a boring guy who doesn’t want to put his life on display. I hope people will understand that there is more to me.”

One of my main goals is to inspire the next generation of footballers and my country, and not leave people indifferent. I look at the World Cup coming up in the USA and the sport is becoming the most popular in history. It seems like a good time for me.

It just inspires me to work harder and be better — without even letting them make the decision and saying, “This is the guy we want to see in the game.” So that always pushed me forward.

You can’t say it’s easier in Milan now than when I was at Chelsea, but there was a time when I felt on top of the world, I was playing great, and that confidence, that fearless mentality was easily accessible to me.

There was a time when it was extremely difficult because I didn’t have any game time. In a way, I felt the pressure to do as much as possible when I went out on the field. Now I’m in a really good position where I feel quite confident. I feel a lot of trust from the club in many ways,” said Pulisic.

This season, Christian Pulisic played 20 matches for Milan, scoring eight goals and providing six assists.
