Pulisic Adapts to New Role as Milan and USMNT Evolve

Christian Pulisic, now 28, is navigating a shift in his role for both AC Milan and the United States Men's National Team. While he has historically been a central figure, younger talents are increasingly stepping into high-pressure positions. This transition comes as Pulisic reflects on his time with Milan, marked by significant contributions but a limited trophy haul, with only the 2025 Supercoppa Italiana to show for his efforts since joining in July 2023.

The winger's evolving status was evident during the recent October international window, which was consolidated into September by FIFA, meaning Pulisic did not participate in friendlies as he had in previous years. Instead, his focus has returned to Serie A, observing the league anthem with a quiet acknowledgment of his current situation.
