Football fans of the state have turned on usmnt Christian Pulisic for his 'soft' attitude after the AC Milan star went back to his critics.
The midfielder led to a recoil earlier this year when he broke out from the USMNT team of Mauricio Pochettino for this summer's Gold Cup campaign after a long campaign in Italy with Milan.
And in a new documentary with nine episodes after his career on Paramount+, the former Chelsea wing player defended his decision – to the great anger of American football fans.
“It's a lot. It's hard to keep playing every game, “said Pulisic. “I mean, you see many injuries. But this is how it is. This is the company. People want to see us play.
'I think it's just a decision where I had to come to do the best for myself and look for myself for myself. But I think everyone has had their opinion about me and in my opinion I did not respect myself in many ways and just completely forgot what I have done for this national team for 10 years. It is crazy. '
However, after the fragment of the documentary was shared with social media, American football fans tore in the 26-year-old for his 'soft' attitude when they accused him of painting themselves as the victim.
“Interesting psychological insight into the victim complex that society and education have created over the past decade,” wrote a fan on social media.
'Pulisic is the least charismatic athlete I think I have ever seen. I will never know how someone thought it was a good idea to film a documentary for a Mid -Table player in Italy, “another closed in response to the clip to X.
“Every time Pulisic talks, he makes it worse, the law and the whining make him very unlikely,” a third fan criticized. “I hope he turns this around, eventually the World Cup 2026 with the USMNT will be his chance of the field, anyway … the damage is caused by the field.”
“I can't do it anymore. The whining, the law, the poor-me-theatrics, 'one frustrated football assistant rumbled. 'Yes, of course you live under a microscope. You are the best player in the country. And compared to any other (football) country, you are so easy. '
Others believed that going back to the critics of his decision was the worst possible step that Pulisic could have made.
“This is the worst thing he could have done,” they claimed. “This document does nothing but show how straight he is and how he and everyone around him. makes him a victim. '
'Christian Pulisic is by far the most unbearable athlete ever forced to support. This (clown) remains worse in the media by playing the victim at every possible moment, “it agreed. “There is always an excuse for this guy who is not delivered enough + failed.”
'The USMNT captain should not be soft. The team is cooked as long as their captain acts like this, “a third warned only a year of the World Cup.
'@Pulisic bad appearance all around. People always respected you, “another claimed, while one in:” Clown Show. Nobody feels bad about your Christian. '
The criticism of Pulisic is not limited to the fan base of America with former USMNT stars and legends who also his decision to sit out of the Gold Cup.
Prior to the tournament, the American football icon Landon Donovan, without mentioning names, took a shot at Pulisic and other USMNT key figures that apologized for Pochettino's selection.
'I can't help it, but think of some of our boys on vacation, don't want to play in the Gold Cup. It gets angry, “said the former Everton attacker.
Another player was Pundit, Alexi Lalas, also piled at Pulisic on the podcast 'Call it what you want' on the Golazo network
“You can talk about my performances, whatever you want, but to question my dedication, especially against the national team, in my opinion that is out of line,” Lalas said.
Yet Pulisic took a wipe to the Legends during his documentary and their comments burned a 'cop-out'.
“I would say the most annoying, and for me the biggest cop-out of all time, especially, you know, all the experts want to say:” They didn't want it. They didn't have the heart, you know, in our time we would fight and we would die on that field, “said Pulisic in the eighth episode of the docuseries, which was filmed earlier this summer.
His international teammate Tim Weah supported Pulisic when he tangled the 'malignant' analysts.
“Those boys are haunting checks, and for me I just feel that they are really bad, to be honest, because they have been players, and they know what it's like when you hit Bashed,” Wah said.
“Those are the same guys who turn around and shake your hand and try to be friendly to you.”
Pochettino and the USMNT enter a critical year while they are preparing for the World Cup on the home floor next year.
