USMNT star Christian Pulisic bizarrely reveals why a 'good haircut' helps him on the pitch as AC Milan winger shows off his Italian language skills

The USMNT and AC Milan star was taking part in a video interview with a twist as part of U.S. Soccer's link up with Volkswagen. Pulisic took on a number of trick shot challenges with the forfeit of answering an offbeat question about some of the finer details of his life. His response gave fans a small glimpse into some of the keys to his renaissance in Milan.

Asked for a little thing that helps him feel confident on the pitch, Pulisic replied: "I think a good haircut is underrated. Sometime when you look good, you play good."

After failing to lob the car, the winger was challenged on the spot to come up with the Italian for 'little thing'. His answer of 'cose piccole' was close enough to show the 25-year-old is picking up a bit of the language in his first few months in Milan.

Pulisic cut a relaxed figure in the video and has been enjoying life in Milan since joining the Rossoneriin a £17m ($22m) summer transfer from Chelsea. His form has seen him score five times in 12 Serie A appearances, already starting more league games than in his unhappy final season at Stamford Bridge.

Pulisic and Milan continue their pursuit of Serie A pace-setters Juventus and Inter this Saturday when they face a tricky trip to Bergamo to face Atalanta. Stefano Pioli's side will then turn their attention to their crucial final Champions League group stage game against Newcastle on December 13.
