Popular pundit, Thierry Henry has come out to say that Christian Pulisic must try to make mistakes in order to replicate his USMNT form in club action at AC Milan. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, every creative player must know that if they do not try to make mistakes on the pitch, they cannot succeed as a footballer.
Henry added that Pulisic plays with confidence when he turns up for his country, so he should focus on replicating that form with his club.
His words, “As a creative player if you don’t try to make mistakes, you cannot succeed. I can see on the national team, [Pulisic] feels like, ‘I can make mistakes.’ When you play on the big club [team], you play the ball one time and it’s a mistake and the next time you touch it is 15 minutes after. People remember every time you touch the ball that you lost it. The international team, he plays with that confidence. We were all creative players, so you have to score. So if you feel like in your head you can’t lose that ball, then you might as well step out of the field and don’t play.”
WOW.
