"Christian is playing and of course he's not scoring, but for me, it's not only to score goals. For me, I am happy with him in the way that he's performing, and the time that he's playing."
"And of course, I think it's a great opportunity for him to join us and of course to perform with us and to try to help him to arrive in the best condition to be in a good position to be selected also for the last roster."
Christian Pulisic began the 2025-26 season strongly with eight league goals, establishing himself as his team's top scorer. His form has since declined significantly, with an 11-game streak without goals or assists. Additionally, tension emerged between Pulisic and teammate Rafael Leao after the Portuguese winger expressed frustration over not receiving passes, though the conflict was resolved through an apology and handshake. Despite these concerns, manager Pochettino maintains confidence in Pulisic's overall performance and work ethic, viewing his international call-up as an opportunity to regain form and secure selection for upcoming roster decisions.
