Pulisic drew another PK, took the ball from Gotze, nailed the PK. His status within the club is growing.
Straight up snatched the ball from a guy who scored the winning goal in a world cup final. Our guy has balls of steel.
My read of the body language was “Pulisic asks Gotze nicely, Gotz says yes because it’s an exhibition in the US,” but your mileage may vary.
Now that was a well-taken goal by Christian from open play. Coolly slotted far post. Would like to see him breakout in that area this season.
That one was created by Pulisic too. Takes on his man, gets a half step, hard shot with his left, forces the rebound, and Bruun Larsen does well to put it home with a defender draped on his back. Handled pressure well with expectations getting the ball in space with fans anticipating him doing something.
What a PK, what a shot, and magical moves in the box. 2 goals and 1 secondary assist today for the young American.
I saw the same. CP was having a few words with Gotze, while they were both puling up their socks up, then Gotze nodded his head. Which tells me Gotze said something like 'go ahead, kid'.
A kid wearing a Dortmund shirt, no older than 10, runs on to the pitch to embrace Pulisic, who is doing a TV interview. Ridiculously heavy handed security drag him away. Pulisic breaks off, urges the security to let the kid go and gets a photo with him. 👏👏👏👏 #LFC #Dortmund— James Pearce (@JamesPearceLFC) July 22, 2018
