Christian Pulisic has been tearing up goalscoring charts for AC Milan after a difficult spell at Chelsea. Could this form propel him to 'World-Class' status, making him the first American male to achieve this coveted title?
The winger is scoring goals for fun, but can Pulisic become America’s first ‘ World-Class ’ men's player?
The term "World-Class" is an overused phrase in soccer, because the reality is this: everyone has a different definition. So right from the start, we're going to lay down a marker and explain how we define World-Class. It means that a player is considered among the top handful in his main position in the global game. It means the player is producing regularly and consistently, not just in occasional bunches. And it means that any elite team in the world would look at the player's profile and think, "Wow, we'd be lucky to have him."
No American male has reached World-Class status. A few have approached the precipice, to be fair. Tim Howard, Clint Dempsey, Brad Friedel - they were arguably the closest to reach that status, but even the U.S. men's national team's most decorated stars have been at a level just below the World-Class level.Once mired on the bench at Chelsea, Christian Pulisic has rapidly become prolific for AC Milan.
