Pulisic shines as Milan kick off season with win at Bologna

AC Milan‘s new signing Christian Pulisic sparkled as they started the Serie A season with a 2-0 win at Bologna on Monday thanks in large part to the American who got their second goal.

The forward had a great start in Italy after arriving from a disappointing spell at Chelsea, contributing to Milan‘s early opener from Olivier Giroud and then finding the net himself.”I always knew Pulisic was a talent, this was never in doubt,” Milan manager Stefano Pioli told DAZN. “In the phone call I had with him before he signed it was evident that he was bringing a lot of quality to the squad.”Pioli added that Milan, whose starting lineup included fellow new signings Tijjani Reijnders and Ruben Loftus-Cheek, did not put on an entirely flawless performance.”We need to work more to find a better balance, but those who have arrived certainly know how to play football and that is a good place to start from,” he said.”We only had four friendlies and this first game of the season so there’s work to be done but we’re on the right track.”
