<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Inter Milan</a> </strong>are the runaway leaders of the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/serie-a" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Serie A</a> </strong>title in Italy this season, currently with an 18-point advantage over bitter rival <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ac-milan" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">AC Milan</a>. Bologna made history by qualifying for the UEFA Champions League, while last season’s winners Napoli were a shell of themselves.</p>



<p>The top goal scorers are currently Inter’s <strong>Lautaro Martinez</strong> with 24 goals, Juventus striker <strong>Dušan Vlahović</strong> with 16, and Napoli’s<strong> Victor Osimhen</strong> with 15. Some of those goals came from the penalty spot, but three players stood tall as the only ones to have the most goal contributions (goals and assists) that were from the run of play and not as a result of a penalty kick.</p>



<p>Here are the top three Serie A players with the most non-penalty kick goal contributions so far in the final two weeks of the season.</p>



<h2>Lautaro Martinez – 25<br></h2>

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/christian-pulisic" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Christian Pulisic</a></strong> has been a blockbuster signing in Serie A and <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ac-milan" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">AC Milan</a></strong>, the American winger is having the best season of his career and for Milan has 13 goals in 43 matches. On Thursday Pulisic will be a key piece in Milan’s second leg clash with Roma in the Europa League quarter finals, which Roma lead 1-0.</p>



<p>Pulisic has usually been slotted in the right side of the wing for Milan but has looked very impressive when playing in his natural position on the left wing and was playing very well when positioned down the middle, playing alongside <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/antonio-cassano-trash-talks-to-rafael-leao-in-prelude-to-milan-inter-derby" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rafael Leão</a> and Samuel Chukwueze.</p>



<p>By hitting the ground running and becoming one of the club’s fan favorites so quickly the Milan brass is ready to extend the American until June of 2028.</p>



<h2>Christian Pulisic and AC Milan extension talks</h2>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231130#BUS#88881"></div>


<p>AC Milan could possibly extend Pulisic based on the terms of the current deal, although some negotiation will take place, according to Corriere dello Sport. Pulisic is reported to earn a salary of 4 million Euros per year, a pay decrease from the reported near $8 million he earned at Chelsea.</p>

<p>AC Milan manager Stefano Pioli has been a huge champion of Pulisic stating, <em>“I’ve had many video calls to explain the playing style and I rarely get the wrong sensation from the players. I knew Pulisic’s quality, but when we talked on a video call, I sensed something very positive. He was very eager, curious, interested in everything I had to say. He doesn’t talk very much, but it’s the attitude that shines through from a person. His attitude is fantastic, he is an exemplary professional and hard worker who will help the team to get stronger.”</em></p>



<p>For the USMNT, Pulisic has 28 goals in 66 caps for the stars and stripes, being the sixth all-time national team scorer.</p>

<p>It has been <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/christian-pulisic" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Christian Pulisic</a></strong>’s season at <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ac-milan" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">AC Milan</a></strong>, the 25-year-old attacking midfielder has shown his skill not only on the right and left wings, Pulisic also put on a show down the middle in his performance in Milan’s 3-0 win over Lecce.</p>



<p>The San Siro now screams the American winger’s name as Pulisic has racked up top performance after top performance for his new club and has scored vital goals to lift Milan.</p>



<p>Now on Sky Sports in Italy, one of the nation’s top journalists Fabio Caressa made no mistake on where Pulisic ranks among the top signings of Serie A this season.</p>



<h2>Fabio Caressa on Christian Pulisic</h2>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/soccer/antonio-cassano-trash-talks-to-rafael-leao-in-prelude-to-milan-inter-derby"></div>


<p>Fabio Caressa stated<strong><em>, “Pulisic is the best signing of the entire summer transfer window.”</em></strong> A major thumbs up for an American player in Italy’s top league. Pulisic has backed it up with 13 goals in 41 matches this season.</p>



<p>Pulisic has scored 10 in Serie A and 3 in UEFA club competition, Pulisic’s victims have been in Serie A: Bolonia, Torino, Lazio, Genoa, Frosinone, Sassuolo, Monza, Empoli, Hellas Verona, and Lecce.</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ac-milan" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">AC Milan</a></strong> found a gem in <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/christian-pulisic" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Christian Pulisic</a></strong>, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/us-national-team" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">USMNT</a> winger can already claim to have played in three of the top leagues in Europe at three major clubs, Borussia Dortmund, Chelsea, and now AC Milan.</p>



<p>Pulisic hit a major bump in the road in his career at Chelsea, nagging injuries and a team in total disarray as the American saw not only various coaches go through the door, Pulisic was around to see the club be forcefully sold to Todd Boehly after the heads of English soccer demanded that Román Abramóvich sell the club amid the escalation of the Russia- Ukraine conflict.</p>



<p>At only 25, and despite a lot of ups and downs Christian Pulisic has played in 309 club games and scored 55 goals in a 9-year career, well on his way to being the greatest American soccer player ever produced. Now his coach Stefano Pioli is not holding back on high praise for one of AC Milan’s best players.</p>



<h2>Stefano Pioli on Christian Pulisic</h2>



<p>In an interview with DAZN, Pioli stated, <em>“(Pulisic) has never played, in the last 7-8 years, with so many minutes and appearances. We are helping him and managing him well. He’s available, he’s too intelligent a player and a very good guy, too important. “</em></p>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240304#BUS#109081"></div>


<p>Pulisic echoed his coach’s belief in him by telling DAZN, <em><strong>“I feel in great shape, among the best in my career. Everyone gives me great confidence, the staff, the coach, teammates, fans, the city.”</strong></em></p>

<p>Pulisic has had to adapt to Serie A, often bolted on the right wing, many pundits openly criticized Pioli for restricting the American, who at Chelsea and with the USMNT showed a lot of explosion playing centrally.</p>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231130#BUS#88881"></div>


<p><strong>Pulisic has repaid his coach with 10 goals in 37 matches</strong>, one goal shy of hitting his all-time best mark in the 2019/20 season. Pulisic has scored in Serie A, UEFA Champions League, and the Europa League this season. Pulisic also has 7 assists so far this season and has vastly improved his defensive game as he has become known for tracking back to aid in defense.</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ac-milan" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">AC Milan</a></strong> have had an up and down season, despite setting records in points the club simply never showed up to any of their big games this season. A brutal pounding by Inter Milan 5-1, AC Milan struggled to checkmark many of their big games.</p>



<p>Milan went on to avoid not being in Europe altogether by clinching a birth in the Europa League, finishing an underwhelming third in their <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/top-25-greatest-champions-league-players-of-all-time-20210321-0005.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Champions League</a> group.</p>



<p>There have also been many disappointing performances along the way, while some players individually have shined, like <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/christian-pulisic" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Christian Pulisic</a></strong>, as a whole Milan have missed opportunities in various big games.</p>



<h2>Bruno Longhi on AC Milan players inconsistency</h2>



<p>Bruno Longhi spoke to Milan News and defended head coach Stefano Pioli and gave it to some of the key players, <em>“Pioli has often been criticized, but – from my point of view – he has suffered betrayals from the summer transfer market, which have been widely discussed.</em></p>

<p>“<em>Pulisic and Loftus Cheek certainly have international experience, but their performance is too inconsistent. The same goes for Reijnders: some matches are very good, others too light and dull. As for Chukuewze, he has largely disappointed all expectations.”</em></p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231214#BUS#91985"></div>


<p>Pulisic, who won the player of the month in December has had a very timid start to 2024, with 1 goal and 2 assists in 8 matches. Overall Pulisic’s season has been successful with 7 goals and 6 assists across Serie A.</p>



<p>Still to many Milan supporters, Pulisic has the talent but needs to step up and command games more. Pulisic has at times been too bolted to the wing and at times goes unnoticed for large portions of the game.</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/christian-pulisic" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Christian Pulisic</a></strong> is having a sensational year at <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ac-milan" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">AC Milan</a></strong>, the American winger has been one of the top signings in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/serie-a" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Serie A</a> this season with 7 goals and 6 assists across all competitions for the Black and Red.</p>



<p><br>Milan as a whole has had a disappointing season, out of the Champions League, eliminated from Coppa Italia, and third in Serie A, nine points back of Inter Milan in the standings. Yet the American has shown his talent and the woes of his time at Chelsea are a thing of the past.<br></p>



<p>Pulisic was very active in Milan’s 3-1 win over Roma over the weekend with 3 scoring opportunities, one of which was a header that went close to goal, it was a fitting performance for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/us-national-team" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">USMNT</a> star, who before the match was named Serie A Player of the Month for December with 2 goals and 2 assists, becoming the award’s first ever North American recipient.<br></p>

<p>Longtime ESPN Latin America journalist Vito De Palma has been covering Serie A for more than two decades, and while at first, he was skeptical over what the American would produce for Milan, De Palma has turned around fast and praises Pulisic but still notes, there is work to be done.<br></p>

<p><em>“Pulisic is performing well, as are Reijnders and Loftus-Cheek. (Pulisic) still needs to get used to Serie A, a bit and at times he seems somewhat selfish, but he has surely been a positive signing for Milan.

<h2>AC Milan’s 2024<br></h2>



<p>With Serie A slipping away and the Europa League all that’s left to fight for, Milan will need to have a major winning streak to catch up to Inter and Juventus. Rumors are wild as to who will take over Milan after this season as Stefano Pioli is set to leave the club, unofficially.<br></p>

While the USMNT star has been effective in his first half season with Milan, work still needs to be done.<br></p>



<p>In UEFA Champions League action, Pulisic came up huge for AC Milan in their 2-1 win against Newcastle on Wednesday, Pulisic scored the tying goal in a game where he was largely ineffective. Nonetheless it was the American’s first European goal for his new club. In Serie A, Pulisic’s contributions have been good with 5 goals and 3 assists in 13 matches.<br></p>



<p>According to Fotmob this production makes the 25-year-old AC Milan’s highest rated player. Here is how Pulisic stacks up with his teammates.<br></p>



<h2>Christian Pulisic’s FotMob rating<br></h2>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230731#BUS#38548"></div>


<p>Christian Pulisic now stands with a 7.37 rating followed by Theo Hernandez who has 7.29, then French striker Olivier Giroud 7.29, and then comes Rafael Leao at 7.24, Leao who on the field is clearly the club’s best player.<br></p>

<p>There is no question that Pulisic has been contributing to AC Milan, with clutch goals or assists, but the notion he is the team’s best player comes down to wishful thinking by USMNT X fans.<br></p>



<p>Pulisic at times is too passive and ineffective for large portions of the game, and those watching AC Milan and are not biased know that without Leao playing at his best, Milan’s attack falls flat very quickly.<br></p>



<p>Pulisic overall has played very well for Milan, and for the first time since his arrival at the club he came up huge in a big game, while not having the best outing. Still questions have arisen about what exactly is Pulisic’s role at Milan?<br></p>



<p>Is Pulisic supposed to be the Leao on the right? Or is Pulisic more of a workhorse like Roberto Donadoni was in the Milan sides of the late 80’s and 90’s?<br></p>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231214#BUS#91959"></div>




<p>However you want to look at it, while at times Milan fans have demanded and should demand more from a player of the caliber of Pulisic, one thing is for sure, Pulisic is on his way to having the best year of his career, and as he gets more comfortable in Italy he will be a huge factor for AC Milan, and that is something everyone can get behind.</p>

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/us-national-team" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">USMNT</a></strong> will take the field again for the <strong>CONCACAF Nations League. Gregg Berhalter’s </strong>team will square off against <strong>Trinidad and Tobago </strong>for a two-leg quarterfinal on November 16 and 20, and while they shouldn’t find much trouble getting past the Caribbean rival, they won’t have one of their most prominent players on the pitch.</p>



<p>On top of <strong>Tim Weah’s</strong> injury, <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ac-milan" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">AC Milan</a> star <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/christian-pulisic" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Christian P</a>ulsic </strong>will also be out with a hamstring injury. And while the injury isn’t supposed to be serious, soft-tissue ailments tend to linger, which is why they decided to play it safely with their young stars.</p>



<p>Pulilsic couldn’t finish <strong>Milan’s UCL clash with Paris Saint-Germain </strong>with the hamstring injury. He underwent further testing, but it’s expected to be sidelined for the next couple of weeks, so there was no way he would’ve make it on time.</p>



<h2>Berhalter Isn’t Worried About His Stars</h2>



<p>Coach Berhalter<strong> talked about Weah’s and Pulisic’s injury</strong>. He confirmed the extent of their ailments wasn’t all that serious, and predicted it shouldn’t take long before they make it back to the pitch.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20231115_BUS_85598_Christian-Pulisic-1-1024x576.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-77371" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/Christian-Pulisic-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/Christian-Pulisic-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/Christian-Pulisic-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/Christian-Pulisic-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/Christian-Pulisic-1.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></figure>



<p>“<em>Both of them, it’s not too serious, but unfortunately they aren’t going to be able to participate in this camp,”</em> Berhalter told the media. <strong><em>“We see them on track to get back to play soon, but it’s too short of a deadline [for November camp] so they won’t be involved.”</em></strong></p>



<p>Notably, there are no shortage of potential replacements for the talented duo. <strong>Malik Tillman, Kevin Paredes, brothers Paxten and Brenden Aaronson, Alex Zendejas, and even controversial Gio Reyna</strong>. That’s why the coach has full confidence in whoever subs in.</p>



<p><strong><em>“We’re used to this type of thing,”</em></strong> Berhalter said. <em>“Think about World Cup qualifying and all the adjustments we’ve had to make as guys drop off, particularly this time of year as the pitches get heavy and the game schedules get loaded. Players are always at risk<strong>. We’ll adapt, we’ll put guys on the field that are prepared and know what we’re doing on the field, and will make a good impact.”</strong></em></p>



<h2>It’s Gio Reyna’s Chance</h2>



<p>Even though it’s been months since the scandal, some still haven’t forgotten abou<strong>t the Gio Reyna situation in the World Cup. </strong>He’s been back with the USMNT ever since, but some feel like he still has to gain the group’s confidence back, and this will be a great opportunity to do so:</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20231115_BUS_85598_Gio-Reyna-1024x576.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-77354" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/Gio-Reyna-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/Gio-Reyna-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/Gio-Reyna-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/Gio-Reyna-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/Gio-Reyna.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></figure>



<p><em>“Gio made a full return to the lineup in the last national team camp and our objective was to build his fitness </em><strong><em>not overloading him and getting him into a position where he can go back to Dortmund and play a role and he did that,</em>” </strong>Berhalter said of him. <em>“<strong>What the next step looks like is yet to be determined but we can certainly envision him being on the field and us being able to push his minutes to help the team win the games.”</strong></em></p>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230918#BUS#64557"></div>






<p>Reyna is obviously one of the most talented young players on Earth, and this could be just<strong> what he needs to get back on track.</strong></p>

Henry played five seasons in MLS with the New York <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-red-bulls" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Red Bulls</a> and is among the top 10 imports in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mls" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">MLS</a> history.</p>



<p>Henry has also coached in MLS with his brief time at <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/montreal-impact" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">CF Montréal</a>, it was rumored that the 1998 World Cup winner was also in the running to take over the USMNT coaching job before the federation rehired Gregg Berhalter.</p>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="undefined#undefined#tfs#undefined"></div>


<p>In a candid interview with Kickin’ It’ show from CBS Sports along with USMNT great Clint Dempsey and Charlie Davies, the legendary Gunners player spoke about the USMNT’s best player <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/christian-pulisic" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Christian Pulisic</strong> </a>and that it’s time to take the kid gloves off for the winger at <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ac-milan" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">AC Milan</a>.</p>



<h2>Thierry Henry on Christian Pulisic</h2>



<p><em>“As a creative player, if you don’t try to make mistakes, you cannot succeed. I can see on the national team, [Pulisic] feels like, ‘I can make mistakes.’ When you play for a big club, you touch the ball once, and it’s considered a mistake.</em></p>



<p><em>“The next time you touch it is 15 minutes later. People remember every time you touch the ball that you lost it. With the national team, he plays with that confidence. We were all creative players, so you have to take risks. If you feel like you can’t afford to lose the ball, then you might as well not play”</em> Henry stated.</p>



<p>Pulisic, who got off to an electric start at AC Milan by scoring 2 goals in his first three games, then he had a poor outing against Inter Milan in the Milano derby which saw AC Milan manhandled 5-0.</p>



<p>In their Champions League opener, Milan again slept walked through a match against Newcastle United that they should have won but could not finish their chances. Pulisic came on as a second half substitute and had mixed reviews, the American took 2 shots on goal and was lively, but it was not enough to take home the three points.</p>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230922#BUS#66562"></div>


<p>Pulisic is slated to start over the weekend against Hellas Verona, a perfect opponent to get the talented American back on track.</p>

<p>While the USMNT has made tremendous progress on and off the field, celebrity culture is not abundant at USMNT games, then again, the national team doesn’t really play near celebrity hot beds.<br></p>



<p>Still, for Pulisic it was a playful jab to the biggest names in the entertainment business that there are talented American players as well.<br></p>



<h2>Pulisic at AC Milan<br></h2>



<p>On the field Christian Pulisic has been all aces, scoring 2 goals in his first three Serie A games for his new club. Pulisic already has the Milan supporters chanting his name and has been very effective on the right wing, not his natural position.</p>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230731#BUS#38548"></div>


<p>Pulisic earns a reported 4 million euros yearly at AC Milan and the start at his third professional club is off to a flying start. Pulisic will now suit up for the USMNT against Uzbekistan and Oman on September 9 and 12.</p>

<h2>Americans in Serie A</h2>



<p>The biggest name belongs to AC Milan winger<strong> Christian Pulisic</strong>, who is looking to have a breakout season after a tough spell at Chelsea where he won 3 titles. Pulisic’s teammate will be <strong>Yunus Musah</strong>, recently transferred from Valencia in LaLiga where he played over 100 matches.</p>



<p>Over to Juventus two of the most electric and eccentric national teamers play for the Italian Old lady. <strong>Tim Weah</strong>, son of the legendary George Weah, seems to be playing wing back and did very well in preseason.</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/christian-pulisic" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Christian Pulisic</a></strong> has yet to play his first official game for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ac-milan" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">AC Milan</a> and already the club is seeing just how popular the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/us-national-team" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">USMNT</a> winger really is. Pulisic signed from Chelsea in the summer after an up and down spell which saw Pulisic win three titles with The Blues.</p>



<p>On the international front, Pulisic had a very good FIFA World Cup for the United States, gaining two man of the match awards in two of the USMNT’s 4 World Cup games, and scoring a goal against Iran in a clutch match.</p>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230711#BUS#26832"></div>


<p>On the playing side Stefano Pioli has already seen what Pulisic can bring his attack, having assisted on a few goals during preseason and starting to showcase his skill with Rafael Leao. Pulisic is slated to play down the middle or on the right wing for Milan.</p>



<h2>Pulisic jersey among the most sold by AC Milan in the summer</h2>



<p>Since Christian Pulisic was transferred to AC Milan and assigned the number 11, the American has become the highest selling jersey for the club in only 1 month, <strong>Pulisic is only followed by Rafael Leao and Theo Hernandez as the top three selling Milan kits according to Gazzetta.</strong></p>



<p>The most AC Milan kits sold across the world are obviously in Italy, and then followed by the United States, and France. At the moment, 300,000 new kits have been sold via the club’s online store, and revenue is expected to increase by the end of the season.</p>
