Pulisic criticised over USMNT ‘fear’ comment and told to be a leader

The Chelsea playmaker has, after defeat to Mexico, seen his role within the USA camp questioned by three-time MLS Cup winner Alejandro Moreno

Christian Pulisic has been told he should be a leader in the United States squad, not making “fear” admissions, with Alejandro Moreno looking for more from the Chelsea star at international level.

The highly-rated playmaker is just 20 years of age but already regarded as a talismanic presence within the USA ranks.

Such a standing brings with it added expectation, with Pulisic having shown what he is capable of during a productive spell at Borussia Dortmund and subsequent move to the Premier League.
