Speaker: Welcome to the Italian football podcast.
Speaker: Four games in a row, but he has scored now. 12 goals this season in all competitions and it's really now. He had his good start, then he kind of had a dip and people were like, oh, you know, maybe he's not, you know, he's not as good as we thought he'd be and now he's really hit form again and those numbers are fantastic numbers really for the season.
Speaker: No, they are. They are. It's... I don't know. Do you know who reminds me of Limmer? No. You'll like this, I think, because he's Freddy Lindberg. He reminds me of him. Frederick Lindberg, the Swedish player. How? Freddy Lindberg. Frederick Lindberg. Yeah, he reminds me of him because Lindberg was the kind of player that was really good at getting into the box, late runs, good finisher, come from the far side to finish off chances at the back post.
Speaker: good pace, direct player, but not somebody that could really beat his man, not an amazing dribbler, but he had that ability to score goals. That's what he reminds me a bit of Lindbergh, Pulisic.
Speaker: Yeah, I mean, I don't know, I thought, yeah, I can see what you're saying, this kind of running in from the left and deep. Yeah, I see those. But look, he's having a fantastic season and he's turning out to be very useful in the system. And he has had, he's been consistently in terms of goal scoring, very important for Milan this season. And I think he will, it's been one of those instances where
Speaker: he's really hit the ground running from day one since joining Mila and that's been very important for them. Where does he go from here? Because I think if there's one place that he did the support this season, it was the Champions League. That's where he was a bit below the required level and that's why when we started having the question marks about
Speaker: you know, is he of that level? So I think maybe that's where next season he needs to step it up. He needs to show that, yeah, he's proven himself now at Serie A level. Now he needs to step it up and prove himself. Champions League level at that next step up. That's true of all. That's true of all of Milan, isn't it? Like, for me, I look at it, for me, Pulisic is a little bit of a, like a
Speaker: representative of Milan this season. It's a new Milan. They've had a good season. They're probably going to reach the semifinal final of the Europa League. They're going to finish second in the Serie A.
Speaker: you know, for the 2 .0, Milan 2 .0 of that project, it's actually good for a season. Question is, if, you know, what happens with Pioli, does he stay in charge of that? But that's a separate debate. But I feel like he's kind of, punicic is kind of a very good representative of this Milan where they are. It's a good start, but it can be better.
