Pulisic scored a career-best 12 league goals and registered seven assists to help Milan secure a second-place finish in Serie A, while he also scored three and set up one more in European competition. The United States international has received much praise for his performances since joining the Rossoneri from Chelsea last summer, with coach <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/christian-pulisic-impressed-ac-milan-stefano-pioli-debut-serie-a-season/bltc0d802e832d0cd50" target="_blank">Stefano Pioli expressing his admiration</a> on <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/christian-pulisic-trialling-new-position-ac-milan-stefano-pioli-get-best-out-of-very-intelligent-usmnt-star/blt38978ceaf4120a1e" target="_blank">more than one occasion</a>.

WHAT HAPPENED?

USMNT supporters will be hoping that the ex-Borussia Dortmund star can bring his excellent form back home when Gregg Berhalter's team host the Copa America this summer. Sadly, however, Pulisic will be without the one factor that he says has helped inspire his improvement - Portuguese sensation Leao.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

"The truth is that I’ve become accustomed to playing on the right, and I’ve been scoring goals thanks to a little secret: it’s called Rafael Leao," he told <a href="https://www.ilgiornale.it/" target="_blank">Il Giornale</a>. "I’ve studied and understood how he moves. Usually, he attracts two or three opponents, so the defense is not so covered on the opposite side. Therefore, I can move towards the middle of the box and I am sure I will receive a perfectly timed pass."

WHAT PULISIC SAID

Pulisic will hope to add more goal contributions to his tally when he and his Milan team-mates come up against Serie A's bottom side Salernitana in their last game of the season on Saturday. Afterwards, he will head back to his homeland to start preparing for the Copa America.
