American Players Abroad

United States men’s national team stars Weston McKennie and Timothy Weah helped Juventus win the club’s 15th Coppa Italia title with both players featuring in a 1-0 victory vs. Atalanta on Wednesday.

Despite seeking the trophy for the 15th time, Juventus were the underdogs coming into the match against an Atalanta side seeking their first Coppa Italia since 1963.

Juventus haven’t had the best 2024 so far with a rough stretch of games, failing to win their previous six heading into the final.

Christian Pulisic’s name came to Jürgen Klopp’s mind when reflecting on his career as a manager. During an interview with The Anfield Wrap the American was brought up by Klopp as a promising young player he worked with.

Klopp was asked about some of the rising stars for Liverpool and if he wishes he could get another 10 years with them to see their growth and development as players. The first example that came to his mind of a young player who blossomed was Pulisic.

The United States have themselves another promising manager.

Christian Pulisic had a notable performance with AC Milan against Genoa this Sunday, giving the game-winning assist for his club in the closing minutes of the game… that was later ruined by an own goal to lose the three points at home.

Pulisic started for rossoneris in the 35th Matchday of the Serie A, with the American playing in the No. 10 role whose main duty was to create opportunities for his teammates in the attacking front and having the freedom to create some of his own.
