Mauricio Pochettino earns Christian Pulisic a USMNT first as more history is made by AC Milan forward

Champions League

AC Milan

FK Crvena Zvezda

<p>The 26-year-old earned cap number 74 for his country when <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/christian-pulisic-captain-america-usmnt-gregg-berhalter-highly-skilled-2024-copa-america-bolivia/blte3edc42a56596271" target="_blank">filling the role of ‘Captain America’ again</a> in a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/christian-pulisic-usmnt-mauricio-pochettino-winners-losers/blt074923586c435dcf" target="_blank">2-0 friendly win over Panama</a>. Pulisic made his senior international debut for the United States back in March 2016.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>He has been a regular ever since, as pressure and expectation is lumped onto his shoulders. Pulisic has learned how to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/make-mistakes-christian-pulisic-advised-thierry-henry-replicate-usmnt-form-ac-milan/bltc441eb20d582ff78" target="_blank">roll with the punches and turn a deaf ear to any detractors</a>, with the USMNT often finding themselves in a position where new eras are being opened.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>That is the case again at present, with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/usmnt-mauricio-pochettino-head-coach/blt92ff471c4ec24d80" target="_blank">managerial reins being handed to former Tottenham, Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea boss Pochettino</a>. The Argentine has become the eighth coach – including interims – that Pulisic has worked with in the USMNT camp. No other American player has played under more.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>That may not be a record that Pulisic is particularly proud of, as he would prefer to have stability and continuity with the United States, but it does highlight how important he is as a succession of managers have called upon his services. </p>

TELL ME MORE

<p>The USMNT will be back in action on Tuesday when facing old adversaries Mexico. From there, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/overtime-demand-usmnt-christian-pulisic-12000km-trip-ac-milan-best-player/blt0dc6194f21390c3e" target="_blank">Pulisic and Co will return to their respective clubs</a>. The Milan playmaker has been in fine form this season, with his goal tally in Italy already taken to six in the 2024-25 campaign as <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/christian-pulisic-flying-usmnt-star-posts-career-first-ac-milan-american-forward-goal-serie-a-derby-inter/blt2022bbb73d109e9d" target="_blank">more personal bests and firsts are posted</a> there.</p>
