I haven’t seen this kid this happy since Chelsea’s Champions League run. Thrilled for him.
I love pulisic. He's such a great speaker.
because he is Captain America
Pulisic and Giroud look like they did not miss a beat. Must be fun to play with a bunch of guys who are looking out for each other and play as a team.
Chelsea east
As an American Milan fan this is one of the most exciting moves since Ronaldinho came
brother wtf
Wtf
I agree
no ibra circa 2010?
Lmao wtf, Hernandez (LB) has been the most exciting bc he had a great season at Socidad
What a time to be a US Soccer fan.
I really appreciate Christian's manner of playing wish him the best in Milan
I'm so happy to see this, Christian looks so relaxed, so at peace. Delighted for him.
Kobe (who was a Milan fan) would have been so proud of him.
I’ve so many expectations of him in Serie A.
I’m just glad that Christian is now going to be playing more…
Yeah, he took the easy way out.
@@Cicero82its Milan its not an easy club to establish yourself. It's not like he's coming to Venezia in Serie B
maybe. it's not written in stone
@@Cicero82 from plastic to 2nd biggest club in the world. easy huh
@Cicero82 Let me know how Chelsea does in the Champions League this year.
Christian looks so attractive when he’s smiling . Love those 2 dimples. Now I’m so excited and so ready to watch his first Serie A game this Monday 21. Hope he performs well and stays physically fit all season long.❤😊
Yes he is
You’re a lucky charm 😊 Pulisic scored a banger and started the play for the other goal from Giroud! Off to a wonderful start, couldn’t have gone much better!
It's fun imagining Mr. Pulisic hitting his stride at ACM...I believe we will see him thrive and for American viewers like me, become keener on Serie A....
I know one thing for sure...He'd start with any team in Argentina and can handle the roller-derby
characteristics of the Argentinian game....
As an American that watched Beckham, Ronaldinho, Zlatan (twice), Kaka, Silva (where I fell in love with how he reads a defense and thrives at only 6'), Seedorf, and more play for the rossoneri ..... even tho I've always loved Chelsea, you'll come to appreciate the league from a tactical standpoint. You'll see why Mourinho was able to conquer Europe. After his first game, barring injury, I think we're in for a helluva season 🤝
Love his smile! Hopefully he will have fun in Italy this coming season
Dude could record audio books with that voice
Little does he know us americans couldnt be prouder !!! Keep making strides captain america ❤💙
The answer seems logical. He wasn’t getting any playing time at Chelsea. Pulisic needs to focus on staying healthy first and then the form has a chance to come with it. But I think its a move that suits him. He cant expect minutes if he cant stay fit a full season. Good luck this year to him I hope he succeeds in Milan.
This has aged well. Congratulations on your success at Milan, Christian, the kids have always argued about who gets to be you in pickup games. And, of course, you have legions of adult fans who are grateful for the way you’ve represented us in Europe.
Best and continued success.
He is having a great season opening after this interview, Pulisic has been outstanding. Man of the match 2 times in a row!
as someone who just follows National Team football, I am looking forward to watching Seria A this season and La Liga, not so much EPL anymore.
The premier league is full of a bunch of egos.
Great questions hell of an interview!
It's been great watching you play Polisic!! Scoring again like I knew you would!
Great to see thank you for the video.
This is soooo good for him. I'm a Chelsea fan, but they've made a ton of missteps with all the changes. They had too many players and all of them had to look over their shoulders constantly. Good players can't play well when they are constantly playing on eggshells and looking over their shoulders. And now, they've lost several of their best players.... Pulisic, Mount, Abraham, Giroud, Rudiger, many more. And if you talk to Chelsea "supporters", they've turned their back on all of them and made some stupid comments.
Pulisic is fantastic. Chelsea screwed the pooch w/ him.
Loved this interview
A real man with a humble heart. And he is from Hershey!!
Good questions Rog!
Milan's first month MVP in his debut season! Bravo we go for more!
Rog is second to none when it comes to interviews. formulating interesting questions and presenting them in a meaningful way. thanks for everything you do
here after the golazoooo let's go cp11
Happy to have him, he'll have to study Italian teams in the way they defend as a group though, the space in the premier league on turnovers does not exist in Serie A because everyone who's aware they're shit will defend for 96 Mins. That's the difference between England and Italy.

Dang, never got the bell notification for this video. Gonna have to watch tonight.
I love this guy. Forza Milan Forza Pulisic
As a Man United American fan, my frustrations with Man United have made me semi-pause and emotionally detach from ManU until the ownership situation gets figured out. I feel like their locker room constantly has issues and players with controversies (Greenwood and now Antony).
I feel myself cheering for AC Milan now because of Pulisic, but also a team that is fun to cheer for and see doing well. I’m just glad I have another team to cheer for and not stress about. Thank you AC Milan for giving Pulisic the chance he deserves and for letting make an impact that we all know he is more than capable of doing.
Rog is so good at this
He will do great in Milan
go Pulisic go ! ciao
May he have fun in Italy.
Yesterday great match against Bologna and vreat goal 😅
Christian scored against Real Madrid in the Alfredo di Stephano Stadium in the Champions League. Same last name as Christian’s grandmother. Could they be related?
May all the meatballs and mozzarella be yours this season Christian hah. Enjoy it kid.
I thought he was too patient; 2 months into his second season when Timo replaced him and kept the position despite being physically incapable of scoring unless by accident, it was clear there was an issue and he was going to get minutes agains bottom ranked PL teams and the last few minutes of games already won or lost, followed by the press and fans who read the ideas saying he was “inconsistent. The only thing inconsistent was his minutes of playing time and the low scoring Chelsea system.
Pulisic and giroud are a deadly duo
And the food….yum.
Good luck cap!
he is great because he calls it football
Rog is a true American after the nations League comment
Always have been 😎 🔫
What he say
If his grandma was anything like the Italian grannies I've met, she'd say something like, "now make sure you find yourself a nice Italian Catholic girl over there." Sicilian grannies are interesting people. They make the best non-deep dish pizza I've ever had too.
🔥🔥🇺🇸🇺🇸

I had a very different reaction to this interview than most of the commenters. On the one hand, I’m happy to hear he feels supported, but that need seemingly is the same reason he vocalized his support for Gregggg. Football is a team game and his individual needs should not be above what is best for the team/club/project. A manager can lose trust, but it’s up to the player to win it back. And in Christian’s case, he certainly had plenty of managers and most of them felt the same way about him. Will be interesting to see if Pioli plays him less and how he will respond. Just makes me weary if him as a leader of the USMNT
Bingo. Lots of "me! me! me! in this team. Definitely see it in Rayner and you're about to encounter it with Balogun.
Yea, I really am wishing the best for Pulisic, but Milan never does well with players who don't believe in themselves. He's already admitted his hand that he literally needs support to play decent football. I believe in him, but the dude just needs to play now.
There's a difference between playing under multiple managers in general and multiple managers at Chelsea. The Chelsea staff and management treated him like shit.
Every player at Chelsea was underperforming and inconsistent at Chelsea. That has been consistent with every manager since they peaked after winning champions league. Also, it’s definitely on a manager to know how to manage his players aka support them. Bad coaches don’t do this or need very specific players and personalities to be successful. This is one of the reason I think Jose Mourinho is either lights out or a dumpster fire lol.
We need the meatball recipe Christian! Give us answers!
There is no such thing as spaghetti and meatballs in italian cuisine.
@@runmvp but there is in Italian American food sweety.
El capo
I play best when not playing for Chelsea 🤣
I'm so glad that nightmare is over!
As "Italian guy" i don't stand this hipe about italian gestures.I find quite offensive this oversimplification of what italian culture is.
FORZA MILAN
How dare you 🤌🤌🤌
@@meninblazerswhen u typed this comment did u imagine someone laughing at it?Just saying, idk how u find it funny, it’s stereotypical/racist and not even original.
Christian should have pushed for a move when they brought in Sterling. I'm not sure who's better, Puli or Sterling but that was the writing on the wall.
He did. Every deal Boehly negotiated last year collapsed because he was asking for more money for Pulisic. That’s why he stayed longer. He had no choice
This aged well
He doesn't have enough tattoos to play in Serie A
Tim and his grandson...😂
Missed Tillman and Pepi and PSV
And Dest now. Unfortunately that's a buddy system on the bench in the Netherlands currently 🙁
come on christian let us scream your name in San Siro
Who remembers when Rog used to shit on MLS and US soccer in general?
👀
I'm a huge Pulisic fan but it's a bad move to frame your success around how someone else - be it your coach or the general public - perceives you. You've got to know internally that you're good and that you've worked hard enough to be good.
So very innately human of him.
Ohh he knows he’s good cause when he’s flying he’s flyingggggg
He couldn’t really say Chelsea “fans” are hateful a-holes.
@@matthewsanders5390 He's playing in Italy, Chelsea fans are puppies compared to Inter supporters.
I’m glad Lebron James chose Milan hope he does well
I like Pulisic but he needs to concentrate on improving his game because I'm not convinced how much he has improved in the last few years. Mentally and physically as well.
Don’t know much play time to be honest when he gotta compete with the star Leao for the position
Pulisic acting like it was HIS choice to leave chelsea. The reality is there's only 3 players left from the champions league winning squad. Pulisic was pushed out just like all the rest.
Ham and melon😂Puli don't know what Antipasto is😂
Rog, not the best interview questions. A lot of duplicates, it doesn't appear that you were listening to what he was saying
great player happy for him but the truth is you are always a better player when you are playing in a weaker league
I’m not that sure that premier league is better than serie a, is just “different” I’d say
Inter made it to the final of CL all leagues have top teams don’t be a snob
@@BushidoCodee Lucky draw for them last year they had to beat another Italian team ;) still I am not saying Inter is bad even though no top 4 PL team will have a 36 year old as their starting striker, to me the league is not as strong as PL, you have 3 solid teams in Serie A, 2 in Ligue 1, 3 in Bundesliga, 4 in La Liga and 6 in PL
@mygooya The 3 teams at the bottom of the EPL would definitely start Giroud. He’s still waaaaaaay better than a LOT of young strikers in the EPL, Cody Gakpo and that overrated French bum at Man United come to mind. Giroud is world class. I bet you he get 15-20 goals easy this year. EASY.
Twattenham and West Sham would probably start him… they are currently top 4 in EPL. 33 year old is W. Ham current starter 🤷🏽
Wait….he called prosciutto e melone, ham and melon. He will learn.
I hope he is going to be in the bench
Most sane person here.
As a Milan fan I feel sorry for him. You moved in a former great club. I repeat former! Ac Milan is not a big club anymore. This season we won’t go better then the 6th position. One of the biggest issue is the coach.
Uh, Idk why you think that. AC Milan is a much bigger and better working club than the Chelsea clowns this season lol.
If you're really a Milan fan you wouldn't sound like a douche but be happy a professional joined.
@k27ism I don't think he's really an AC Milan fan lol.
Yeah , all right ! I’ll get back to you in may to see how’s right about this.
Stay in the USA and help the game there. Imagine begging Europeans to buy your players to teach them how to play.
You get better by playing the best. The same holds true for basketball, hockey, and baseball players coming to the leagues in the US from Europe, Latin America,and Asia.
You want more kids to play soccer in the US? Show them they can make bank playing the game wih longer careers than football and without the height requirements of basketball. Put together a solid youth->mls-> Europe pipeline. And then get to the quarters or semis in the world cup.
Give kids heros and $$ to admire and you will start to get the best talent.
That will do wonders for IS soccer ⚽
MLS is trash.
'Chose AC Milan' He's a Chelsea reject.
As with any working environment, being trusted by your boss or supervisor is a huge aspect on your performance. A cold, insensitive boss or co-worker makes for odd encounters and just, in general, an uncomfortable experience. You feel like you're in limbo where you don't know where you stand or you go about your tasks not wanting to mess up.
Whiny. That’s why he never made it in the EPL. Good player for sure, but the US media overhyped him.
You’re whiny.
He made it just fine
Examples? Links to where he is "whiny" please. Thanks.
So after game 1, how confident are you in your statement bud
You must be a dumb Chelsea supporter. If so, let me know how Chelsea do in Champions League this year.
