But in this case, Pulisic does not have any physical problems, and neither does McKennie, but Pochettino has already justified his decision in the press conference a few days ago by speaking specifically about the Milan player: He added, “In Milan, he plays every match and every minute, and this is an aspect that worries us. Sometimes we have to protect him. He arrived a little tired.” In fact, in order to give him a few extra days of rest, Pochettino wanted to excuse him from the Mexico match which is actually just a friendly match.
“You need to build a great relationship with the club, for example “Try to help Christian when we really need him, he should be fit, happy and strong.” This is a strong concept embraced by a coach who until recently was the club’s coach and knows the club’s needs well during the international break. It is clear that Pulisic is the fulcrum of the American national team, and Pochettino has a great interest in preserving him, preventing him from suffering any muscle injuries due to fatigue and playing many matches.
