Bologna, Italy – American sensation Christian Pulisic, having embraced his decision to join AC Milan, showcased his exceptional skills in a resounding 2-0 opening victory against Bologna in the Serie A on Monday.
The 24-year-old, who completed his move to the San Siro in July, embarked on this new chapter after four seasons with Chelsea, where he garnered 145 appearances and netted 26 goals. Despite his contributions, he struggled to secure a consistent starting role and was eventually deemed surplus to requirements under the stewardship of Mauricio Pochettino.
Pulisic, however, has proven his mettle with a strong debut in Italy. He played a pivotal role in Milan’s early goal, elegantly set up by Olivier Giroud, and subsequently found the back of the net himself. This triumphant performance solidified his conviction that choosing AC Milan was the correct career trajectory.
Reflecting on his new venture, Pulisic remarked, “It just felt like the perfect step for my career. I feel really welcome and excited to be part of this club.” The electrifying forward expressed contentment with his strong start, mentioning, “For me, it was a great start personally. Nice to get a goal, while a clean sheet and a win are always nice.”
In response to inquiries about his personal and team aspirations for the season, Pulisic underlined his determination to reclaim the coveted Scudetto after a one-season hiatus. “We want to fight to win this championship, of course, to compete for all the titles we can,” he declared. However, he judiciously acknowledged that it was premature to predict frontrunners for the league title at this juncture.
In sync with his lofty ambitions, Pulisic envisions continuing his contribution by notching goals and assists for the team. The midfielder emphasized his role in Milan’s quest for titles, affirming, “Personally, it is to continue creating and scoring goals the way I did tonight and to help this team win titles.”
As the fervor surrounding Pulisic’s arrival continues to build, he eagerly anticipates his San Siro debut against Torino on Saturday, a moment that he believes will be nothing short of electrifying. “Absolutely. Just the fans tonight at the away stadium were fantastic, so I can’t imagine what it will be like at home,” he exclaimed with enthusiasm, hinting at the energy and enthusiasm that awaits him on home turf.
Christian Pulisic’s impressive entrance into the Serie A encapsulates his unwavering commitment to excelling on a global platform. With his sights set on both personal and team triumphs, Pulisic’s journey with AC Milan promises to be a captivating narrative in the unfolding season.
