Why USMNT star Christian Pulisic will never be 'cool' with '100 social posts' as AC Milan forward focuses on what really matters

Serie A

AC Milan

Roma

<p>The United States international is fondly <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/christian-pulisic-captain-america-usmnt-gregg-berhalter-highly-skilled-2024-copa-america-bolivia/blte3edc42a56596271" target="_blank">known as ‘Captain America’ in his homeland</a> and has become a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/top-50-player-best-serie-a-is-christian-pulisic-world-class-former-usmnt-team-mate-explains-standing-ac-milan-forward-global-elite/blt2642638be7d62acb" target="_blank">talismanic presence at club level for Serie A giants AC Milan</a>. Despite seeing his celebrity status grow across the USA and Europe, Pulisic remains something of a private figure.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>He has never been one for outlandish statements or purchases and carefully chooses when and where he enters into discussions with the media or partnerships with market-leading brands. Pulisic is happy to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/video-won-lpga-christian-pulisic-teased-alexa-melton-golf-pro-girlfriend-usmnt-ac-milan-star-never-wants-leave-italy/bltb00adb5132c69d4b" target="_blank">stick with a system that works for him</a>, even if the era he graces is dominated by those with a greater online presence.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Pulisic has told <a href="https://boardroom.tv/boardroom-talks-christian-pulisic/ " target="_blank"><em>Boardroom</em></a> of focusing on what matters most, with the 26-year-old more concerned with fine tuning his game that harvesting likes: “I’m probably not someone that is the most outgoing and need to have 100 social posts to make me look a certain way. Some people really like that, and that’s cool too. </p><p>“I think that maybe there is some kind of expectation from people to say ‘they are such a big athlete, they need to give their opinion on this, show themselves in this way, they need to be cool’. I’ve never really thought like that. I just give my best on the field and if I want to post something or have a brand partnership that makes sense with me, then I go for it. I try not to put any pressure on myself in that way.”</p>

WHAT PULISIC SAID

<p>Whatever Pulisic is doing, it is clearly working. He has found his best form in Italy, leading to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/christian-pulisic-man-utd-red-devils-link-liverpool-talk-ac-milan-asking-price-usmnt-star/bltf1f3e5e3925255d5" target="_blank">transfer talk being generated</a>, while he is back <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/captain-america-pulisic-beckham-rooney-england-southgate-usmnt/blt35e9720d795ccb54" target="_blank">in charge of the armband for his country</a> as the USMNT continues its countdown to a home World Cup in 2026.</p>
