00:00Yeah, I think he is fundamental.
00:12He is an important piece.
00:13His characteristics that he brings that differentiates from several players.
00:17We have a few others that have that quality, but Pulisic has the explosive accelerations,
00:22low center of gravity, good mobility, and he has that knack and that sense to be able
00:26to drive in the axe or the axis of the field.
00:30And those are game-changing moments that can open up a game.
00:45It's one of his key qualities to arrive exactly like very, very in the box and not even only
00:52in the box, but also in the six yard box.
00:54He gives something, of course, in terms of sprints, repetitive sprints, intensity on
01:01and off the ball, but he is in the end of the attacks, he's hungry to score, he arrives
01:06in the box.
01:07And this is where we need players.
01:09He's a very good player because, you know, I always say to my players, the forward players,
01:26I say I like players that make fire, not smoke.
01:28He can be top scorer and top assist player.
01:31I like him very much.
01:32When I analyze a player, when I want to buy a player, I think if I'm on the other side,
01:38if I need to play against him, is it easy or not easy?
01:41It's not easy to play against him.
01:54Honestly, I hope that they can see, you know, just the unity and the team spirit that we
02:01display.
02:02I hope that's what's, you know, helping us gain fans or whatever, like you said, I hope
02:07people watching, you know, especially back home in the States can see, wow, these guys
02:12are really, you know, giving everything for each other, for this country, and that's what
02:17really makes us special.
