Coaching from the kit man? USMNT star Christian Pulisic has surprising source of advice & inspiration at AC Milan

The United States international has posted a personal best on the goal front in 2023-24, with the target being found on 13 occasions across all competitions. Pulisic has never been so productive and continues to put his versatility to good use at San Siro.

He has been used in a familiar wide attacking berth this season, while also filling in as a No.10 and false nine at times. Pulisic has flourished in Italy, with his decision to sever ties with Premier League giants Chelsea in the summer of 2023 being justified.

Pulisic has plenty of experience around him in Milan, on and off the field, with there no shortage of wisdom for him to buy into. It may be that Hesham Hassan forms part of the ‘coaching’ team working to bring the best out of Pulisic as the American has posted an “I always listen” message in response to the Rossoneri’s kit man pointing out that he scored with his “left foot again” in a 3-0 win over Lecce.

Whoever is helping to unlock Pulisic's potential, Milan will be hoping that impressive standards can be maintained. They remain second in Serie A, leaving them on course for Champions League qualification, while also reaching the quarter-finals of the Europa League – where they will face domestic rivals Roma.
