Christian Pulisic scored two goals in the last Supercoppa Italiana campaign, and the American wants to contribute again, so AC Milan can retain their silverware.
Last season’s Supercoppa win was messy. Comebacks and optimism, Milan had a time to remember in Riyadh. However, they will want to be more settled in this year’s competition, and they should be in all fairness.
Questions in the technical area are gone, and now the only issues are about the lineup itself and who will play where.
Pulisic’s focused on success
Someone without these issues is Pulisic, who has established himself as one of the best forwards in Europe this season, if he had not already. The American is among the top scorers on the continent, and he hopes to carry this form to the Middle East.
Last time around, he scored a penalty to equalise against Juventus, before doing the same against Inter, before Tammy Abraham grabbed a winner. Now, he wants to repeat that story.
Personally, he has not changed much in the past year (or less), having faced injuries again, but he remains one of the best scorers on the team with nine goals to his name so far. It should have been ten, too, had the goal this weekend not been ruled out.
Allegri wants a fourth Supercoppa and Pulisic will be asked for a big effort once more. With hopes to end the year as the top scorer for Milan – which would cement his transition into a second striker – the Supercoppa is his next target.
