Milan boss Ruben Amorim backs Christian Pulisic to make a mark | OneFootball

Serie A side Milan haven’t 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 didn’t 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 can’t wait to play, as he is sullen about not having played so far this season.

He said – via CM, confirming he will get some minutes against Lazio: “You’ll see him tomorrow, I don’t know if he’ll start or play during the game. I think he’ll play a few minutes. I really like him as a player. He’s angry because he’s had zero minutes so far, and I like that about my players; he’s sullen.”

Amorim also went on to show how committed he is to the project and it won’t change for anyone.

“Don’t forget he had an injury in the summer, and then in the first training session he had a knock and stopped. I won’t remove anyone who’s doing well just to name a player. This is my way of managing the group, and I’ll die with these principles. Pulisic is very important to me. 

“After 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 you’ll see Pulisic starting this weekend.”

Pulisic’s 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.
