Pulisic Turns into Milan's Most Dangerous Offensive Weapon
American star Christian Pulisic has had an impressive start to the season with Milan, scoring seven goals in Serie A from just ten shots on target, maintaining his crucial scoring touch despite a decline in his playmaking involvement.
Pulisic led Milan to an exciting 3-2 victory over Torino on Monday with a brilliant brace, rising to the top of the league's scoring chart alongside Lautaro Martinez.
According to the website "Football Italia," Pulisic has scored seven goals in nine league matches and nine goals in 12 matches across all competitions, highlighting his significant improvement compared to last season.
Press reports revealed that Pulisic is playing this season as a second striker, unlike last season when he was relied upon as a right winger. Despite the change in his position, heat maps show that he does not play in an advanced position; rather, he moves more towards the left side, especially since he has only played once alongside Rafael Leão.
Statistics also confirm that Pulisic has become less involved in passing, dribbling, and ball recovery compared to last season, but he has become much more efficient, needing only 14 total shots, ten of which were on target, to score seven goals in the league.
The player's mental strength also stands out, particularly his ability to deliver in crucial moments. He scored winning goals in major matches against Napoli and Inter, followed by a brace against Torino that placed Milan at the top of the Italian league with 31 points, level with Napoli.
At this remarkable level, Pulisic continues to cement his position as one of the standout stars of the Italian league this season, and a crucial pillar in Milan's early lead in the league.
