Pulisic labels Conceicao as ‘strong’ and assures ‘I always want to score’ | OneFootball

Ahead of the big clash between AC Milan and Juventus this evening, Christian Pulisic spoke to the media. In addition to his physical condition, he was also asked about the new head coach Sergio Conceicao.

Pulisic struggled with an ankle injury earlier in the week but returned to training on New Year’s Day, thus sparking hopes of a return tonight. Indeed, as confirmed by Conceicao, he’s in the starting XI and will be looking to make a difference as always.

In an interview with Mediaset a few minutes ago, as transcribed by MilanNews, Pulisic shared an update on his condition and also spoke about Conceicao. He highlighted the little time spent together so far, having only coached the team for 2-3 days.

How are you?

“I feel very good, my ankle is fine. I’m ready for today.”

Without Leao, the offensive weight is all on you…

“We have a lot of good players. I always want to score goals and provide assists but the important thing is that we win today.”

What has changed Conceicao?

“We only worked together for 2-3 days. He’s a strong guy.”

Should Milan win tonight, then they will face Inter in the final of the Supercoppa Italiana. It should also be noted that in the event of a draw tonight, which is rather likely, the game will go straight to penalties without extra-time.
