Serie A side Milan havenโt seen Christian Pulisic feature this season but his time could soon come. Manager Ruben Amorim has now backed the USA international to succeed and make a mark under his tutelage.
In the second half of last season, the attacker didnโt score a single goal under Max Allegril. This rough patch of form followed him at the World Cup and an injury also derailed his pre-season at Milan.
The Rossoneri take on Lazio tomorrow and Amorim was asked about his thoughts regarding the attacker.
He made it clear that Pulisic canโt wait to play, as he is sullen about not having played so far this season.
He said โ via CM, confirming he will get some minutes against Lazio: โYouโll see him tomorrow, I donโt know if heโll start or play during the game. I think heโll play a few minutes. I really like him as a player. Heโs angry because heโs had zero minutes so far, and I like that about my players; heโs sullen.โ
Amorim also went on to show how committed he is to the project and it wonโt change for anyone.
โDonโt forget he had an injury in the summer, and then in the first training session he had a knock and stopped. I wonโt remove anyone whoโs doing well just to name a player. This is my way of managing the group, and Iโll die with these principles. Pulisic is very important to me.ย
โAfter the international break, there are eight weeks with three games a week: everyone will be tired from all the playing time. Pulisic is important and will play a lot of games. But you have to understand the context and my history to understand why I make certain choices. But youโll see Pulisic starting this weekend.โ
Pulisicโs return will come as a big boost for Milan, who have had to rely on goals from young Alpha Cisse. The talent will have an experienced player along with him to carry the attack.
