Pochettino Backs Pulisic for World Cup Glory

US coach Mauricio Pochettino has expressed strong confidence in Christian Pulisic, stating he "is going to score in the World Cup." This comes after Pulisic opted out of last summer's Concacaf Gold Cup to prioritize rest for the 2025-26 season and the crucial World Cup.

The Milan forward and his international coach had exchanged words through podcasts in the lead-up to the tournament, which saw the US fall in the final against Mexico. Despite this past controversy, Pochettino believes Pulisic is showing his best form, saying "We are seeing the real American player right now." noplasticplease.life
