“I’m not super happy with the amount of Americans here.” –– USMNT's Christian Pulisic
Publish date:The U.S. men’s national soccer team returned to home soil for the first time since March for an international friendly against Morocco on Wednesday, getting out to a strong start en route to a 3–0 victory. But it was a post-game comment by star midfielder Christian Pulisic that will likely draw the spotlight.
Speaking on the field at TQL Stadium in Cincinnati during ESPN’s broadcast, Pulisic was asked what it was like to be back in front of American fans after a long break. The Chelsea star paused briefly before giving a frank answer expressing disappointment at the game’s turnout, which had a higher percentage of Moroccan support than Pulisic was hoping for.
“To be honest, for whatever reason, I’m not super happy with the amount of Americans here,” Pulisic said. “However that works out, if I’m being completely honest. But thanks to the ones who did come, and the support is always great from them. But yeah, it’s nice to be back in America and playing again.”
Pulisic once again shined for the Americans on Wednesday. He recorded an assist on the team’s first goal of the night on a play in which his perfect first touch on a lofted pass preceded a quick cutback and delivery to Brenden Aaronson, who tapped the ball into a wide open net.
