Pulisic says win against Genoa would ‘give continuity’ and praises Jovic | OneFootball

Ahead of today’s clash between AC Milan and Genoa, Christian Pulisic spoke to the media. He made it clear that a win is needed for the Rossoneri’s continuity.

Milan have very small chances of climbing the standings between now and the end of the season, with a 9th-place finish likely. Having said that, the Coppa Italia final will take place in just over a week and it will be important for the team to keep up the momentum.

Speaking to MilanTV ahead of tonight’s clash against Genoa, as transcribed by MilanNews, Pulisic highlighted exactly that. He also shared some words on what it’s like to play with Luka Jovic, who has been in tremendous form lately.

“We want to give continuity to the team, because it is important for us. We have a final coming up and we need to be confident and play well. Jovic is a great player, it is not difficult to play with him. He knows how to control the ball very well and it is a pleasure to play with him,” he stated.

While Pulisic is playing from start tonight, the same cannot be said for his opposite man, Rafael Leao. The Portuguese winger is on the bench as Sergio Conceicao has opted for Ruben Loftus-Cheek, meaning it most likely won’t be a classic 3-4-3 tonight.
