One of the most complicated weeks that Christian Pulisic experienced with AC Milan since his arrival. The American soccer player had had an important start to the campaign and it seemed that he was going to start making a difference for the club after his first two goals in 3 games. However, his performance in Derby against Inter was not positive at all and then, in the Champions League against Newcastle, he also seemed out of rhythm with the team.

 

Given this situation, many are beginning to raise the possibility that coach Stefano Pioli benches Captain America. However, the latest reports from Italy suggest something different. It should be remembered that the great competitor for Christian Pulisic's position is Samuel Chukwueze, a player with great dribbling and speed, but who has not been very good in the most recent days with AC Milan. However, after the arrival of both, Pulisic began to gain ground regarding who started the games.

Both Pulisic and Chukwueze arrived in the last summer transfer market, from Chelsea FC and Villarreal, respectively. His additions were met with great enthusiasm by the AC Milan fans, but at the moment, the fight for the club's starting right winger position seems to be being won by Christian Pulisic. According to Italian media, the coach considers him a starter for the club's next game.

 

Will Christian Pulisic continue as a starter at AC Milan?

According to journalist Daniele Longo, Christian Pulisic is the main option for Stefano Pioli in the club's next match against Hellas Verona. The American player placed himself in an important way in the first three games of the Italian championship and from Milan, they trust that he will once again recover his level after a bad week, not only for Pulisic, but for the entire team. Stefano Pioli's confidence in Christian Pulisic is complete and barring a surprise, he will start the team's next game.
