AC Milan midfielder Chick spoke highly of his club teammate Pulisic in a recent interview, praising him not only as the centerpiece of the U.S. national team, but also as a leader within the Milan team. Chick's comments undoubtedly add another feather to Pulisic's cap in terms of his status and influence in the team.
Chick said, "Pulisic always leads by example on the pitch, he's convincing and he's a real leader. He has just had a terrific season and all of us are looking forward to him continuing to improve and contribute more to the team." Chick's words reveal a recognition of Pulisic's strengths and expectations for the future.
Apart from praising Pulisic's performance on the pitch, Chick also shared their deep friendship. He said, "I feel very lucky to have played with Pulisic. He's a very calm person who doesn't like to be the center of everyone's attention despite his performance on the field. He has a very easy-going personality and is very easy to get along with, which is why we have been able to become good friends."
Chick also recalled the journey of friendship between the two: "When Pulisic was still at Chelsea, we were already very good friends. He was a sincere, kind and talkative person who always brought positive energy. Later, when I moved to Milan shortly after, I was very excited to learn that he was also going to join Milan. Because I knew that his arrival would make our team stronger."
Last season, both Pulisic and Chick performed quite well for Milan. Pulisic made a total of 50 appearances for Milan, scoring 15 goals and delivering 10 assists, and was an important point of fire in the team's offense. Chick was not far behind, with 10 goals and 1 assist in 40 appearances, also an indispensable part of Milan's squad. The two players' tacit understanding and outstanding performance contributed to Milan's success in the season.
