Pulisic stated in an interview with Metro, which was published before the Super Cup match on Wednesday night, “It was really difficult.”
‘I felt like I was in the finest shape of my life, so being forced to sit on the bench was really difficult. When you are in terrific shape, you feel good about yourself and want to continue.
‘The level of competition is really high here. We want to win championships. It is important to maintain your mind in the proper place so that when an opportunity presents itself, you can still make a significant impact.’
When asked about Tuchel’s on-field demeanor, Pulisic responded, “He’s always been aggressive and very competitive, and nothing has changed with that.”
