Pulisic won the Champions League and scored against Real Madrid in a CL semi final.
This was his top.
Very well done.
Best US player ever.
He's young and need to build up some personality....with Milan he can start playing great football again like in dortmund
Dude said Milan lack depth when he was talking about the position where we literally have the best sub on the bench 😂😂😂
Most of these pundits have no clue of Italian football
Words of wisdom from the legend
Pulisic must-have watched this. Scored a volley the next day
It was put on platter at the spot, and was late to the ball. Not only did almost not get to the ball he hits it off the ankle directly to the keeper. It seemed like a bad save your in the middle of the goal and there is no pace behind the shot why did he parry it to the post? Hit
@Curly1448 better outcome and braver of him than being safe and trying to take it down with a touch and fumbling his chance. Basically what Henry was asking of him no?
@@beasleyfam403 brave? The chance was taken by Leoa. If he's a starter on a champions league semifinal finisher he should be taking that on the first touch. I believe once chukuweaze gets settled he should be relguated to the bench. He looks ridged on ball and behind the play. I've been a milan fan for 17 years and watching this season I'm missing suso. I was hoping they'd sign Berradi.
@@Curly1448He just won the game for milan
He definitely has world class talent, he just doesn’t have world class numbers. As an attacking player, people always go to your stats to determine your quality unfortunately. So if he wants that status, he has to start putting bigger numbers on the board
He is a winger and at this stage in his development his job is to feed the striker. He is doing very well.
He can play rw at Milan and he's doing it well. Difference between him and Leao is obvious, when hes on 100% Leao is a different level. But Pulisic is a very, very good player and still has time to improve.
Yeah I think that's fair. But there's also like only two players in the world better than Leao right now. So, he can still be world class and not as good as Leao
Yeah Leao at his best is one of best in world. But hes very inconsistent while Puli is consistent and more well rounded. Leao is still better but Puli has better games pretty consistently.
interesting insights by the legendary Henry
What the panel fails to understand in particular Thierry Henry is that yes while Christian should take more chances and he probably knows that, there could be factors as to why he does not. One of them being he can’t afford to make those mistakes because just as he has in the past encountered negative reactions/decisions from coaches, teammates, fans, and media.
If he makes one bad decision or mistake or has a bad game he gets relegated to the bench for not one game but the next few games or worse he doesn’t even make the game day squad. While other players went on and continued to do the very same things that are being asking of him without any punishment, criticism or being subjected to losing their spot in the starting lineup/squad, if anything they were repeatedly being rewarded with more playing time.
As I said before in the eyes of the media, coaches, teammates, and fans for other players making mistakes is seen as a means to learn, develop, fail, and succeed in order to achieve your desired result which is to one day become fully developed players, it is simply seen as part of the process that all players must go through but for Christian it is not a luxury that is given and accepted from him.
On point, but they will never never admitted.
Apparently none of these guys have been watching him at Milan. And if they don't, they don't know him at all because he's better now than the best he's ever been anywhere else... club or country.
Seria A is not the league it used to be, dude. He's a Chelsea reject.
@@mellowado6184salah and de bruyne are chelsea rejects too. Chelsea was the problem
@@mellowado6184
Blah blah blah
Chelsea - midtable at best
Milan - tied with inter at the top.
My only regret is that it'll be *at least* a year before Puli gets to torch that dumpster fire in the Champions league, because...
Chelsea - midtable 😉
@@maudalmusicalmachines3541 Who's the Chelsea fan? Not me. I'm amazed by your comparisons. Treat yourself....it was amazing 👏
@@mellowado6184 Its still a top 3 league so doing great there + being top 5 player on top 3 team there is extremely impressive. Pretty much every Chelsea forward in recent yrs has struggled. Means very little.
Lol on the right Pulisic has got to compete against Chukwueze and on the left against Leoa and Okafor.
Milan are joined for top vs Chelsea who are 12?
Milan was and is a way bigger club than Chelsea. Yes they had a dark decade but they are on the road to recovery and way bigger and further a long in their project than Chelsea.
Consistency and not be affraid of taking the chance, to me those are main aspects taking this players from the conversation when we talk about big names in the beautiful game, I have seen Pulisic looking to make a pass instead of just shoot the ball and when he shoots most times it will be a poor finish because he is not building that confidence of week in and week out by taking more chances, at one point Messi, Ronaldo, Neymar of them were serving the seniors either on the national team or club, but they were consistent at it and them started to take those chances as well, Pulisic is already a great at assisting, now he needs to score as well, not 3 or 4 goals per season, ten or more, that is my opinion.
He is not on the same level as Leao, but I'd say Pulisic is top class
This is fresh
Beautiful Kate! Big Meeks is right though, her accent switches depending on the guests on set 😅
Pulisic could also get some advice from Zidane as well
You only need to backup your mistakes while delivering improvement with better decisions making.
If Pulisic was World Class, we’d know by now
Obviously he can get better tho
Exactly
@@Josh-bs3eyHe’s world class and the prem isn’t the best league in the world,it’s third behind Spain and Italy.
@@Josh-bs3ey Did you see the performance against Lazio tonight? The definition of world class.
@@Josh-bs3ey In Italy is the same Sassuolo beat Inter away at San Siro last week. Do you actually follow football?
He needs and extended run of good health and fitness... His pace and dribbling ability will generate end product if he's out there...
Milan is 10x bigger than Chelsea will ever be lol.
The worst Chelsea team in 20 years destroyed a Milan that recently became champions 😂
@@gamehardywhile spending millions 😂 what a disgrace of a club. In what world is Chelsea Football Club a greater club than Ac Milan?
@@kofi5624 never even Said it was , even still, the worst Chelsea team in 20 years destroyed the serie A Champions so pipe down
With context i think he means given the recent history of the 2 clubs within the last 20 years. Of course overall Ac are bigger. Only Liverpool, Barca, Bayern and Real are in their class. Utd need to up their UCL tally in case a Red Devil complains.
@gamehardy that's just not true. That's not the worst, chill. Individually that team has world class talent and played an injury decimated milan. This narrative is so boring. If Milan and Chelsea played now, it's not close. Plus trophy wise it's not close, brand wise it's similar and that's even with milan going through most of the last decade with irrelevance. In the last 3 yrs Milan is the better and bigger club.
This dude has a hard on against Pulisic. Pulisic is world class…now. What he needs to stay this way and improve, though, is to stay healthy.
True or Falso:
Johan Cruyff Invented the iconic cryuff turn?
pulisic will be 29 and american soccer media will still attempt to persist with this narrative.
pulisic is a classic case of needing to be a big fish in a puddle. surplus to requirements at chelsea. i doubt he cements himself as a regular start at milan
its also funny how thierry mentions the drop in quality from chelsea to milan but fails to mention quality when referring to pulisic at the national team. it isnt easy to have confidence as a USA player playing against Nicaragua
He can be world class if he can get to 20 goals in serie A for ac milan, and win the league.
The EPL was the farmers league when Henry was there lol.
Exactly lol. People forgetting that he was the one who couldn't hack it in Italy when it was the best league in the world. The Prem was only just starting to get good, having been a farmer's league for almost a decade in the 1990s.
Pulisic is world class but he is American so he is beyond underrated by Europeans and this frenchie
No he is rated correctly by everyone outside America.
@@mellowado6184 nah he ain’t
@@yourintuition2247 Oh he is.....Hence his price tag!
@@mellowado6184 price tags are irrelevant these days just look at Enzo
Pulisic is not bad, but he is not world class, that is just a fact.
And who is that 3rd dude? 😂
Behave. Hed have to play more than a week without getting injured. A strong wind will have him on the physio table for a month. Lets not act like he gets hacked down cos defenders cant get near him. Tbh i used to think he was having an affair with the physio
Chelsea has no depth now
Henry sitting with these two other players in the room is a shame. World class legend sitting around below average soccer players
Clint Dempsey is funny
He isnt world class. He is a good player. If he was world class he would be world class already.
5:30 if "please stop, ligue 1 is a farmer's league" had a look.
US players want be top top class player, first they need change word "soccer" to "football".. than all future career change to top class 😂
..
Henry waffling bollocks here
How ? People like you love to hate on everything, anything.
It's never coming home 'mate'. Premier League is strong because of foreign investment and foreign players. Talk about bollocks...
thanks for enlightening me mate! I enjoyed the quotation marks@@Pre1321
He always waffles, and people lap it up.
He's a good player but not world class he's too feeble
Pulisic is the American equivalent of a poor imitation of David Beckham.
Christian is not a world class player by far lol
Clint doesn’t need to be there
Only a poster boy
Well christian already is better than Henry, he doesn't need to get advices from Henry
Yeah u are right, Christian much better, much more competiton in Serie A right now than in late 90s. Also prem is at a much higher level, so the multiple golden boots of henry dont matter when compared to the goals of Christian
@alexandergarbe9155 nor does winning many domestic cups and being apart of a treble winning season at BARCELONA. These people are hilarious. 😂😂
Yeah he was a joke on that Barcelona team, also it took him longer to score in serie a, he also his speed is the only good thing about him. Dribling past someone like nesta is easy for someone lile pulisic and in the invincible run by arsenal he was clearly carried by his team. Christian wouldve won the champions league for sure with Arsenal, like what was the competiton back then, barca, milan, inter, juventus, liverpool manU... all those teams woudlve been ran over by the american maradona. But Terry Herny couldnt do it. This means Cp>>>>>Th
@@alexandergarbe9155 FACTS!!!
@alexandergarbe9155 Dude, pulisic isn't even the best player at ac milan right now. And anyone who saw thierry play knows he was a top tier player.
Reyna will be world class. Pulisic is far from being world class but he can get there, he still has time
