'Pulisic is a bystander of a lot of ego at play here'
Couldnt agree any more.
That is Italy in a nutshell.
@@nealyhoo *acmilan
Not just a bystander, but a winner. His whole team looked stupid except for Pulisic who kept his dignity, while the rest of the team failed to act professionally.
Yes Theo Hernandez is amazing but a very selfish player. Him and Raphael leao too.. they shoot way too much when they have open teammates.. and Theos penalty was terrible. Cost the game.
Pulisic is their hottest goalscorer right now and best pen taker so whole thing was weird.
How is pulisic getting blamed and not the people who lost the game by missing multiple penalties
That’s a good question. Maybe they see him as being selfish, for wanting all the penalties for himself, but he is the designated taker, so I would expect him to take it. Just like that incident (maybe incidents) with Chelsea last year. Gallagher, as captain, took charge, and said that Palmer is taking it
No one in Italy are blaming Pulisic, only in America because we want him to step up and become a leader
no one actually thinks its his fault these people just need to say some dumb controversial ish to draw attention
@@stevenneutron5070he’s not a vocal leader. He’s one by example.
Not comparing him to Messi. But any honest observer of Messi’s career will have to admit that he is also not a vocal leader, he’s a leader via example.
Vocal leaders push people. Non vocal leaders who lead by example pull those who are willing to be pulled.
Coz american think freddy adu is pele.....they think pusilic is pele + maradona + messi + ronaldo combined.....and the goat of goat.
Tomori gave it to abraham because they both from london and grew up playing together in chelsea academy and first team.Ridiculous and very disrespectful
Yeah, this is about the team, not friendships and staff. Tomori has to grow up.
@@koketsokrm6651 i agree hundred percent , if i was coach 3 players would be fined 2-3 days pay or even a week tbh
Yea but England have such a good history of successful penalty shootouts 😂
plus they r both black
@@aaronlevi1516the Brit’s truly think highly of their football skills
The problem is not AC Milan. The problem is players from England. They believe US players have no business playing in Europe. It is why Pulicic suffered at Chelsea. It is why Tomori and Abraham treat him that way. Both these guys are also being watched by England. So, they have to clock in as many free kicks and penalties. Unfortunately, these two flopped big time. The reason, England fails in world cup because English payers don't do well when the pressure is up.
tomori before his injury last season when milan were doing good, (i think their downfall started with defensive collapse, partly because tomori injury) looked like he could have been on pace to be at least one of the best defenders in italy, if not europe. He might be just frustrated he hasn't hit a high level ever since, and has struggled with red cards and tons of issues since. He could be cracking.
The reason y he suffered at Chelsea was injuries. He didn’t fill the role he was bought for filling hazard shoe was huge
You grabbing at nothing here. Pulisic sucked at chelsea and that why he couldnt play. The physicality of prem was not for pulisic
Theo was the main problem here. He selfishly took the first PK for himself. This opened the door for Tammy to also put himself above the team
Pulisic suffered in England bc injuries. Nothing else
Lets be clear! Abraham blocked Pulisic from the getting the ball in the first penalty shot, and gave the ball directly to Theo and pushed Pulisic away. Happened again with Tomori and Abraham with Theo watching, but looking away as this went down. All three of these guys should be benched for at least 1 game and Theo shouldn't be the captain any longer. His head hasn't been right all season long. I really think he was looking for a move this summer and it didn't work out like he wanted. His ego is unchecked.
It wasn't Tammy, it was Morata.
@@OlioliOxinfree Why don't you rewatch the video then. It was Tammy who gave the ball to Theo, as Pulisic was moving to get the ball. Both Pulisic and Morata where pushed off away from Theo by Tammy.
There should be consequences
I think there are 3 guys who should be captain at Milan, my first choice is Morata. His career and seniority warrants it even if he hasn't been at Milan long. Then Gabbia, and 3rd is Calabria both because those guys are italian and can speak to the refs more effectively and they seem like solid guys. Pulisic is next for me. His play has been that good for 2 years now under 2 different managers. He has a Champions League under his belt and played under all sorts of managers. If he was given the band I think he would become more outspoken. Now, he's still youngish..so I think his captaining days will be in 2 or 3 years.
@@TheLaughingMustache-oh5ff I agree with your picks. Morata, Gabbia are both clear choices. Calabria probably isn't going to get much playing time, though Royal also shouldn't be getting much playing time.
Biggest issue here is the captain. Took one of the pens when he wasn't suppose to. Then on the 2nd pen he should have as the Captain stepped up and said "No, Christian takes the Pens"
So he gets to take one but not the others? Some captain.
The tradition is a player is allowed to take a penalty, if it’s their birthday. It was theos birthday and pulisic gifted it to him. The second was unforgivable by the two other players. They were being selfish.
@@justinbergmans36that’s a thing? Sure like to see that during a big game or when you’re desperate for goals
So why is the captain not fired from being captain already
@@justinbergmans36 LOL what kind of nonsense is that? These are pros being paid millions, not 10 year olds 😂
Those 2 missing penalties was poetic justice. Pulisic didn’t need to do or say a word. His coach nailed. This was a win win win for Pulisic
Well Theo doesn't have to worry about being benched next game since he picked up a red after the match
I was wondering if he didn't get that incredibly stupid red card after the match just so Fonseca *couldn't* bench him.
He'll be missing 2 games for insulting the ref
Shak is 100% right on his closing point. Fonseca should take the disrespect seriously by benching everyone involved even if it means potentially losing his job. If he loses his job while letting players like Tammy Abraham disregard him, then he deserves the sack and he deserves to not find a new job when the next football director looks at his weakness.
I would bench Abraham longer...for both the disrespect and because he sucks...problem is, Morata has been sucking also. Milan really needs a #9. Giraud was decent last year, but leagues better than these guys...
The problem now is, Pulisic is going to walk up to the next penalty and have it in his head that his team doesn't believe in him. What if he misses? That will be detrimental to his confidence. It sucks that his teammates think so little of him even though he is the teams leading scorer.
That’s what I was thinking as well
I don't know they think little of him. I think it's anti-American bias and jealousy.
@@ConanTheContrarian1 I hope that’s not the case and I hope Pulisic stands his ground next time. Sucks that he got tested like that in front of his teammates and for the rest of the world to see. It’s that sort of thing that breaks the trust within the team and can’t be repaired easily.
Nah, he will have a "Man in the Mirror" moment. He should even wear the undershirt again and bust it out, but to his own clown teammates this time.
I have to disagree here. His team do believe in him. They know what he can do, and they're jealous of it.....because he's American.
It’s an ego thing 🤦🏽♂️ they didn’t let him take it cuz he’s from 🇺🇸and they from Europe , such an ego thing
lol... This may be true even though he has been scoring goals more than all of them
Interesting looking Europeans.
Pulisic let them fall on their faces. He comes out on top after all this.
It creates bad Karma to usurp the PK taker. Just because Tammy's shot was accurate doesn't mean he is a good PL taker. He might telegraph his shots.
Maybe Tammy and Theo will suffer a little international break "karma".
They are blessed to have Pulisic. He belongs on a better team
Total clown situation with Milan. Manager and players look like fools. Pulisic is not to blame. It almost speaks louder for him to say nothing and just watch both guys miss. Almost like an FU to everyone.
AC milam have suffered from too may players believing their own hype... They are not a team that works together. They're a bunch of individuals who want to make a name for themselves more than anything. Theo should never sniff a captaincy... He's a me monster just like quite a few other players on the squad. It's why they're struggling so much and almost never come back from any controversy...
It just shows that Milan coach was the issue not man enough and respected from members of the team and result speaks for it. I could see Pulisic returns to EPL next season if Milan still don't have a MAN in charge.
I don't believe Fonseca will recover from this. He cannot even maintain basic discipline.
These are grown men he's dealing with here not some academy kids and what else did you expect him to do like jump onto the pitch and give the pen to pulisic😂 those playera are cancer to the team and should leave immediately next transfer window
Theo Hernandez is not a world cup winner
They're not the only one to make that mistake 😂
His brother Lucas is a World Cup Winner
Two biggest culprits: the coach and the team captain. Why didn’t the coach or the captain intervene?
Coach told them who the designated PK taker was already. You want him to step onto the field and get himself sent off? Theo was most at fault for this fiasco. First for taking the first PK, and second for not telling Tammy off to give the second PK to Pulisic.
@OlioliOxinfree i can forgive that one just because it was his birthday but he should have intervened in the second penalty
Another thing I haven’t heard many people talk about. Pulisic is the most in form player on the team and potentially in Serie A. How is no one thinking, especially after the first miss, “maybe we should let this dude who is on fire take it”?
One of the many great things about having pulisic at milan is that espn finally acknowledges other clubs that aren't Barcelona or Real Madrid
One of the PKs was before halftime, the other was after halftime. DURING HALFTIME, Fonseca could have instructed all of his players that Pulisic should be on PKs. The fact that he didn't use that break wisely is his fault.
Good point. Possibly Fonseca was thinking Theo was the captain, and intended to talk to him in private.
Pulisic is consummate class. Full stop.
Think of how many more goals he could have scored had, say, Laeo so selfish and disrespectful of Pulisic over the past year-and-a-half.
Laeo has so many opportunities to pass to Pulusic but just takes the shot himself. No respect for Christian. It's so obvious.
Which is stupid. He's tied for 1st in goals scored and 2nd in assists. If he sucks i have bad news for the rest of the team... maybe the defense should stop getting scored on so much.
That defense is too leaky. Signing Emerson Royal isn’t going to do anything. Tottenham scammed AC Milan
@@PhilliesNostalgiaRoyal was awful that game
@@PhilliesNostalgia as bad as Royal is, at least he is a team guy and is better for the club right now than Theo is...until he gets his head straight....
Don’t blame AC Milan,they were facing A beast in Goal De Gea
But would have been better if both penalties were missed by a designated penalty taker
Pulisic is 9 for 9 in penalty kicks (100 %). Abraham is 15 for 19 (79%) and Fernandez is 4 of 7 (57%). He is also their leading scorer and best player. Why on earth would they think either of them should be the penalty taker when their records are average at best?
Because he is a 5'9 American. They hate on us in the European soccer world. @CG68810
@@thankyou8417 No, it's because he is an American. Messi is 5'6. If Pulisic was Spanish, Italian, French or English, he would get the respect he deserves.
@@CG68810but the fans there love him
None of these fools have respect for American players🇺🇸. Even the UCL cast was very disrespectful towards are americans after having great games and atarting roles for their sides. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Maybe because they understand that Pulisic isn’t world class. You claim it’s disrespectful because you are Simping for American players. Pulisic isn’t world class… he will never be world class. He had one good pass the entire game. He lost the ball several times in key positions and continuously runs into the space of other players because he doesn’t understand the game. He is good and productive and I would want him in my team but he isn’t world class and he isn’t a leader. This comes down to disrespect to the coach and no one else.
@@EveryHappening Christian is a leader he's just not the leader on this team.
@@EveryHappening Christian doesn’t understand the game🙄😂🤪the guy is Milan’s top scorer right now. If Christian didn’t understand the game he wouldn’t be Milan’s best player right now let alone he wouldn’t basically be the one player who’s scoring all their goals as he would be “too dumb to understand the game”😐.
Also you say he isn’t a world class player nor will he ever be🤔umm I don’t think anyone has ever put him into that category nor does he need to be in order to be considered a good or a great player.
You say Christian had one good pass and loss the ball several times throughout the game🙄and his teammates didn’t there’s a reason why Milan are in the position that they’re currently in and it’s because whether it’s as a team or individually no one is raising their level in a positive direction.
There were plenty of times where multiple players were making bad passes, losing the ball in dangerous areas of the pitch, not being clinical in front of goal for easy conversion and being selfish and not passing the ball to their teammates who are in a better position to score (maybe not this game but in most games) and so on. But you don’t say anything about that😒.
@@EveryHappeninghe doesn’t understand the game??? 😂 Pulisic is the best player on the team. One of the best in Serie A since last season. If anything players need to keep up with Pulisic and the way he moves off the ball. Especially when he makes over lapping runs into the box and open spaces in general. He would have more goals/assist if players were quick to react to him.
Emerson for example reacts late when Pulisic makes runs into the box, which has caused missed goal scoring opportunities. Now this is his first year with Milan so maybe he still adjusting to Pulisic.
At the end of the day People just hate to give Pulisic his props. 🤷🏼♂️
And who said anything about being world class. That’s the problem with kids these days. so many people throw the word world class too much. There’s only a handful of players actively who you can make the argument for World Class.
Kids these days see a player have a good couple months and start screaming world class 😭😭
@@EveryHappening A little anti-American bias showing up here? Is it bothering you that the only thing Europe excelled in was European football, and you desperately don't want that to change?
They disobeyed the coach twice. The question shouldn't be "what is required for Pulisic to do?" That question should be on Theo and Tammy. The answer is obey the coach.
Theo should lose the armband and Tammy sits for a few games
Yes. Exactly this. What Fonseca needs to do is obvious. If Pulisic as the most productive attacking player disobeyed the coach, then maybe the decision is more difficult. Tammy is easy. An unproductive, wasteful striker who was part of one of the most embarrassing things I have seen on a soccer pitch when Tomori goes up for a rebound so nobody but Tammy can get the penalty, which he then misses.
Theo will have to sit for two games, so Jiminez comes in. Abraham can come out, and RLC/Reijnders can play CAM. But you could also move Pulisic to the #9 and give Chuckweze a spin on the right wing.
@@markangelagirard9944 Puli is not a #9, he has no hold up play. His body isn't designed for it. He needs open space and to pick out passes and/or create chances...Milan needs a #9 badly right now though. Abraham has been terrible. After this, I would just bench him period...
Gabbia and Mike are doing very well to. Gabbia has been incredible as a matter of fact.
Thank you Shaka for representing your country ...like wearing that CIC ....golden
It is managers duty to decide who takes the penalty
It is the captain's duty to make sure the manager's orders are followed. Theo failed to do that. I would strip the captaincy off him.
@@JackSchitt-p9t Not only did he not do it but he was the one taking the penalty away from Christian.
Wait did somebody fart at the 4:08 min mark!?🤣🤣🤣
Thank you! How is this not the most talked about part of this clip?!?! 2 farts, no less.
😂
First place who's bringing in to the Serie A
Take him back to where he belong to MSL soccer
I don’t know if it’s in Pulisic’s best interest to get involved in any teammate controversies. He was not liked by his Chelsea teammates (he made way too many gestures of his displeasure). He’s doing well at a club that appreciates his play, and his teammates accept him.
I have the impression this is something Pocchetino should talk about with the players. Tell them to play for the respect they are not getting. A good motivation.
LETS GO Herculez!!! con la camisola de Guatemala
This is like a scene from Ted lasso, and let’s be honest fik had been one the most underperforming players in the side all year and Tammy has been extremely ineffectual in the box missing sitters constantly. Contrast that with CP who has 8 contributions in 9 games!!! A you even fathom if those stats came from a non American player and this situation arose. No you can’t. Bc it wouldn’t happen. And what’s worse is Christian had a much better career at Chelsea than both Tammy and fik and he’s still looked at as not elite. Or he just needs consistency. Thats BS both are benched and mainly fik should be bc gabbia and pav bring more to the team anyway. Maybe after puli gets
35 GA he’ll be B considered elite. Or maybe we’ll just move the goalposts further
As an Inter fan, I am loving it. An in form Captain America is exactly what this mess of a squad needs to rally behind, and they dropped the ball.
They have looked miserable in the Champions, and this issue only further exacerbates itself with the international break.
Leao is not great in the final third, Morata has been Morata-ing and Tommy is incredibly inconsistent.
As I said, I love it!
I will remain quiet as I cannot defend this team
as a Milan fan, I completely agree. it took 2 incredible individual events by Pulisic and Gabbia to beat them...Milan would have gotten destroyed if it wasn't for Mignon, Gabbia (both defensively and offensively), and Pulisic....
Milan made a huge mistake getting Abraham. He’s been a problem and a failure everywhere he goes. Fonseca needs to clean house at Milan. Get rid of Hernandez, Leao, Abraham and get some hard-working players. This season is lost.
Worse than this to me was that only two guys congratulated Pulisic on his goal. Usually a crowd of players does it. Tells me they don't like him...
Pulisic needs to pull out his Man in the Mirror shirt again for the next penalty. But this time its for his teammates.
Worst part of This drama is both missed penalty 😂😂
Theo wears the captaincy because he sells shirts, not because he is a "good leader". We've seen his immaturity in the last world cup when he gave away a childish penalty. He has a narcissistic passive-aggressive style and he dives too much. I am glad he got a 2 game suspension for his silly red card. I would like to see him sit a few more and then moved at the transfer window. He's got $5,000,000 boots but a $0.05 head. Pioli deserves alot of credit for getting this team to 2nd place and a scudetto and he should still be there.
They don respect Fonseca the tenn don have maneyer . is sad. Pulisic is the best
Abraham and Theo should be traded in the next transfer window.
He hasn’t been there long enough or had enough sustained success to argue with the guys on the field. That being said, now that everyone knows he can’t let it happen again. He’s in a crappy situation. If he misses his next penalty it’ll be a mess.
Man how childish is this whole thing? I didnt even kno Tammy wuz on AC Milan. Last time i saw him score a goal wuz like 2 years ago for Roma. He didn't want Pulisic to get anymore shine point blank period. Pulisic outplayed him at Chelsea and now again in Italy. He's a joke
Shaka with the out-frickin-standing shirt.
One thing I don’t see people talking about is the pressure on Pulisic now, everyone is gonna expect him to make the penalties now and if he doesn’t make them they’re gonna be like “see that’s why we didn’t let him take it”
He is a US player of course they won't take him seriously.
the elephant in the room is that there is a certain kind of anti-Americanism in European football and he's not very much respected. It's like a totally different mantra as compared to his clear leadership role on the USMNT. So, it's going to take a really strong character in that locker room to become wingman for Pulisic. I think this kind of thing points to a sizeable division in the locker room. I get this weird sense that it's quite fractious and the causes of it are selfish in nature. Pulisic handled it like an ultimate pro. You handle that in the locker room, and he took it for the team.
I think Calabria realizes how good Pulisic is and is going to bat for him. I've seen an evolution between those two from a guy (Calabria) that would play the ball more centrally to a guy that looks to feed Pulisic whenever possible....
Pulisic did the right thing by not adding more salsa to the situation and fighting on the field (like we saw with Chelsea last season). Manager said the right thing, and I seriously doubt there will be ANY drama inside the locker room. The coach made himself clear, none of the players beefed about it. It'll just be seen as a team mistake in the same way that conceding the goal would.
Wow a football player without a huge ego! If this was any of the Diva footballers like Ronaldo, Mbappe, or Vini, they would have had a meltdown.
Having coached youth soccer, I feel like I've seen this before. Yes, the parents were often less realistic and more selfish than their kids. In this situation, each player had their reasons (certainly Tammy Abraham has been struggling to score and that is an awful headspace for a striker). They may have been selfish or to caught up in their desire to get the score. But too much of that can be a bad thing, not just for the coach but for the team. I have seen teams that improved by getting rid of their best player because that player was too selfish and self-centered for the team concept. AC Milan needs to put this behind them, get Rafael Leao going, and get back to being the team they can be. If that does not work, more than the coach may need to go.
I have to wonder if Leao isn't part of the problem.
Just players being selfish.
Tomori, Tammy and Theo are gonna ride the bench for a series of games.
Part of this in on the manager too. Do you think Pep, Mo or Klopp allows Tammy to sniff the ball in that situation? I think not.
Same issue with some teams.
It's clear he needs to bench them.
Well said Chaka!
They're jealous the American is out playing them. Simple as that. Ironically, they made that point even clearer, that hes the best player on that team.
AC Milan Should send them away , they do not deserve tò play for a team 7 times european champs.
Herc reppin the Guatemala Threads...MI RESPECTO!!!
If Fonseca wants to start getting that locker room to respect his decisions he needs to bench both Tomori and Abraham. Send a message to the players that that kind of selfish play and disregard for his orders is not acceptable.
Herc with the Guatemala jersey 🔥🇬🇹
Shake, that kit is ype fire ngl
Shaka is on point!
Crazy Stat…Christian Pulsic Has never missed a penalty kick for Club or Country
Fonseca has no controll of the team. Leao or Puli should've taken the pens.
Let's be real, the players were trying to send a message to fonseca and the top brass.
As a Spaniard, the only advice I can give Milan is to never let Morata take a pk...ever.
That’s the tough way of learning the lesson. Two penalties were two goal chances, which could have won them the game…
could have been the circumstance, but few seemed that excited when he scored. Odd.
It's Fonseca's fault. He haven't been clear enough.
"Pulisic is the penalty taker." What's unclear about that?
@@sld1776Waiting until after the game to address it and not at half time before the second incident happened, no control over the locker room.
Ridiculous. Let the best guy take it. Abraham should be released for missing it and for not being a Milan caliber player
Shaka for the win. He hit every point straight on the nose. It's not two, it's three, and all three are getting dropped, not benched, completely dropped next match, win or lose/get fired.
I’m sure the coach talked to these players to never do this again
Watching every AC MILAN game I’ve noticed Theo and Leao are amazingly talented players but they are extremely selfish and constantly take deep shots going for glory when the right move is to pass it off..
When devgea be a hero is a problem for other team
Theo Hernandez took one to try and celebrate his birthday with a goal. Tomori gave Abraham one to try and support his boy with a goal.. pretty selfish play all round from a lot of players that should be putting the team first
Insubordinate players must be punished by the club. This has nothing to do with Pulisic.
Good on Pulisic for keeping his cool. When Chelsea had this problem they all looked like clowns
Picking up Tammy was there first mistake no where near Thuram, dordyk was cmn to Roma he knew he was fkd hopefully they see how awful he is after this.
Seems to be a power vacuum at the top the players are filling... zero respect for the man in charge who appointed CP to take pens nor for one of the few players showing up for this team. It's the freaking manager that leads the team- he needed to step up. If not the first time, 100% it should have been addressed, made clear at halftime before it happened again. Tammy taking that pen is as pathetic as his weak kneed shot was.
I think Pulisic gets no respect by teammates all the time. Lot's of very selfish play on that team. Players are constantly auditioning for a transfer to bigger clubs.
So he has to score all the goals? AC Milan missed two Penalty Kicks and Pulisic scored in open play. Result, they loss 2-1. LMAO
What I will say, I don’t blame pulisic, but they wouldn’t have done that to Zlatan
We can say all we want but tammy abraham had no business taking that penalty
You’ve been here 5 minutes and you’re here on loan what gives you the courage to take away a teammate’s spot kick?
Are you the main man now??
Fonseca doesn't have to worry about leaving Hernandez out since he capped off that craptacular game by getting a red card for mouthing off to the ref. What a donkey.
How about De Goa had great saves. He had superb game.
This is for all the TikTok football fans that talk down the importance of penalties. Free throws in the NBA are OK but noooo! Not penalties. Smh!
Herc that Guatemalan black Umbro jersey, tho 🔥 Autograph it, and give it to me? 🤪
Wild disrespect to do it twice not to mention if anyone has any claim over pulisic its morata
Cant blame Pulisic when he not at fault
Shaka needs to be a coach.
Love me some Futbol Americas 💪🔥🔥
The coach has some thinking to do about the e captain that’s clearly not functioning as one.
Yeah Christian has been nailing penalties and goals in but of course Theo, even tho I like the guy, is a selfish player and his penalty was terrible.
Tammy is usually solid at them but his penalty was bad too and that cost them points.. pretty weird situation when your pulisic is their most in form player right now.
Wasnt Pulisic the only one that scored in the game?
I give the captain band to Leao after that
NEVER!! He doesn't lead by example. Morata should get the band.
Can't. Leao is too lazy. Pulisic is the player who cares the most, and he is their most productive. Maybe Morata gets a shout, but it can't be lazy players like Leao or petulant, disrespectful players like Theo.
Too flaky to be a captain.
Mignon should get the band. He is a leader and well respected on that team. Morata is too new and hasn't earned. Leao is more like a Pulisic, a quiet leader....
@@427motorsportllc3 You can't have a keeper as a captain. You need somone who can deal with issues on the pitch in all areas. Morata is the captain of Spain and is a proven leader. He's already shown his leadership qualities and probably is the best choice, as someone else said, Gabbia is a strong 2nd choice.
There is to much ego around this team the captain should have set his foot and set nah Christian is taking the pen if they can’t join as team like that and have ego I don’t see them doing any better this year
