Pulisic admits Camarda is a ‘top player’ ahead of Cagliari-Milan: “We need points” | OneFootball

After beating Real Madrid in midweek, AC Milan return to Serie A action against Cagliari, and Christian Pulisic spoke before kick-off.

It is a week that has the potential to be defining in Milan’s season. A win in the Champions League means that hopes of qualifying for the next stage are heightened, especially after overcoming the competition champions.

However, the result’s meaning could be minimised if a similar performance is not shown on the Rossoneri’s return to domestic action. Against Monza, Paulo Fonseca’s side picked up three points, but fans were left desiring much more after a sub-standard performance.

There have been some bold calls made by the Portuguese once again, and Francesco Camarda makes his first-ever senior start for the club – he will be supported in the attacking third by Rafael Leao, Samuel Chukwueze and Pulisic.

Before the game, the American spoke to Milan TV, and his words have been relayed by Milan News.

On awareness after Madrid…

“Yes we have a lot of confidence after Madrid but the most important game is today, we need points in Serie A.”

On how Milan prepared the match…

“We prepared the match well, it’s difficult to play against these teams in Italy, who play man-on-man: we have to find space and move the ball. It’s not easy.”

The Trequartista also spoke to DAZN, and Milan News relayed his words as well.

Fonseca was very clear, you have to win today to enhance Madrid’s victory…

“[It was a] Great result in Madrid, but today it is important because we need points in Serie A.”

How are these games played?

“In Italy, there are no easy matches. Even today it’s difficult. We need to move more. In Italy we often play man to man, we have to create space.”

What did you say to Camarda?

“He’s good, he’s a top player. He doesn’t need advice. Today he will prove it on the field.”
