Christian Pulisic on Coming in from a Good Moment with AC Milan
Transcript
00:00 >> Christian, you're obviously on fire at facing Mon right now.
00:04 How does that translate over to the national team?
00:08 >> I mean, obviously being in good form and feeling confident just helps
00:12 with my mental as well and just coming out here and being confident.
00:15 And yeah, I'm excited to be back with the national team now and
00:19 hoping that that form can kinda translate over.
00:22 >> Outside of Copa America next summer,
00:23 this might be the biggest game you guys play in leading up to the 2026 World Cup.
00:28 Talk about the opportunity to play a side like the Germans.
00:33 >> Yeah, of course.
00:35 They have a lot of, yeah, they've had a lot of good history and
00:38 they have some great teams.
00:40 So it's gonna be a good test for us.
00:42 We obviously know a lot of their guys.
00:44 And yeah, we're excited to play against some top competition and
00:48 really test where we're at.
00:49 >> Christian, how important is the result tomorrow with it?
00:54 We've heard Greg on the press conference and some of the other players saying that
00:59 it's important to learn how to beat these teams.
01:01 But there's a process that you guys have for the next three years.
01:04 So where's the line between the result and
01:07 getting what you want in that learning process?
01:10 >> I think obviously we wanna put on a good performance and
01:13 hopefully look like we're in control in a lot of phases in the game.
01:19 But at the end of the day, yeah, we need to start finding a way to win games.
01:23 And of course, they wanna come here and win and that's exactly what we want.
01:26 So we're gonna fight and
01:27 obviously the number one thing is to try to come out with a good result.
01:31 >> Christian, how the camaraderie within this group, this generation,
01:35 you talk about togetherness this team seems to have for the last couple years?
01:40 >> Yeah, I mean, it's fantastic.
01:41 I think obviously I've known a lot of these guys for so long.
01:45 It's a young team, it's a hungry team.
01:47 One that bonds really well off the field and also on it.
01:50 So I think this is another good opportunity for us to show that,
01:54 especially against some really strong competition.
01:57 And yeah, I'm looking forward to fighting on that field tomorrow with this team.
02:03 >> What are you guys still working on all team to get better?
02:08 >> I think there's a lot of things.
02:09 I think for sure just at the end of the day, like we were talking about before,
02:15 is finding a way to win difficult games.
02:18 Maybe when we're not even at our best against top opponents,
02:21 I think that's the key.
02:22 It's about finding results, being even more clinical,
02:26 scoring the goals that we need and defending well.
02:28 So there's a few things, but that's one of them.
