S. Men’s National Team’s talisman goalless both domestically and internationally this calendar year. Having started the season strong under Massimiliano Allegri in what is his second stint with AC Milan, Pulisic scored 10 goals through December, leading the way in the category for the Rossoneri for a second straight season.

However, whether it be down to fitness, injuries, or simply a lack of form, Pulisic has not found the back of the net since December 28, while also struggling to consistently play a full 90 minutes.

And there have been many games, I watch a lot of his games where in the right spot, makes the right play, the right moment, and then he just can't hit the goal for some reason, or the goalie makes an amazing save,” he said on First Things First. “What needs to happen, guys, is between now and June 12th, we need to find some way, and I don't know what the hell it is, but for the ball to hit him somehow and go in the net one time. And I promise you if it goes in one time, it'll be done.
