September 10, 2025
Christian Pulisic downplays any controversy with U.S. coach Mauricio Pochettino, saying their relationship is good. Pulisic skipped the CONCACAF Gold Cup to rest after two long seasons with AC Milan, which led to criticism. He returned to the national team this month and played in friendlies, assisting in a win over Japan. Pulisic emphasizes there’s less drama than media perceives. A midfielder and winger who turns 27 on Sept. 18, Pulisic made his national team debut in 2016 and has 32 goals in 80 international appearances.
