MILAN — Over the past few months, as Christian Pulisic has gone from America’s biggest soccer star to one of the best players at AC Milan, he has started doing his post-match interviews in Italian.

The 26-year-old Pulisic went down after being caught on the ankle by Como defender Marc-Oliver Kempf. He immediately waved the medical staff over and appeared to be pointing to his left thigh.

The adrenaline of AC Milan’s comeback victory over Juventus, delivered by USMNT stars Christian Pulisic and Yunus Musah, was still subsiding and the Portuguese head coach outlined the key quality that swung their comeback. “In football and in life, you’ve got to be brave,” he told reporters in a post-match press conference.
