GettyTHE BIGGER PICTURE
Milan boss Paulo Fonsea has spoken of his frustration at seeing players decide among themselves who would be placing the ball on the spot, with it made clear to all concerned that Pulisic – who successfully converted earlier this season against Venezia – is the go-to option.
GettyDID YOU KNOW?
Meola added on Pulisic deciding not to fight his corner, with Fikayo Tomori grabbing the ball from in front of him and passing it to Abraham when Milan were awarded their second penalty in Florence: “Moving forward, there might be another player that comes along and will say, ‘No, no, no, remember what the manager said? This is Christian’s, give the ball to him’. But he’s not going to be that guy. It’s like asking me right now to run a 100-yard dash in 10 seconds, it’s not just going to happen. It’s not in his personality, it's not in his DNA.”
