Thanks for having me! 🇮🇹🤝

[@b.r.409]

Thanks for supporting this show by coming on as a guest. This one of the few places where I can get honest reports on usmnt.

[@inelhuayocan_aci]

Thanks for being on. Your fandom and expertise based opion is appreciated.

[@ryanstewart5519]

That's awesome seeing Marco here. Your takes are always well thought out and I really appreciate when you play devil's advocate even for teams/players you like. It shows good journalistic integrity. Thanks again Marco see you on IFTV as well.

Great collab!! Pulisic is on the cusp of signing till 2029 as we have all read I’m sure and fully expect him to and as a fan hope he does. I also think bc pulsiics best attribute is dribbling in tight spaces and his brain he can play another 8 years at Milan as a ten bc he doenst need to rely on extreme pace. If he makes it near a decade the chances are Milan will find a way to sure up the. Backline and if we keep reindeer’s and fofana and Leao and maignian; and camarda grows into half the talent he is showing as a 16 year old Milan and Chris will win at least one league title and make a champions league final.

[@ChapeuFootball]

Amazing collab

[@MartinoPuccio]

Great hopping on again to discuss this! Had a great time

[@iiightcool]

In order to become a club legend Pulisic needs: 1. Longevity - Be among the best players at the club for multiple years. 2. Trophies - Domestic Cups are not enough. He needs to win multiple domestic titles and/or a european title. 3. Goal Tally - As an attacker, he needs to be amongst the highest goal scorers in history. 4. Have meaningful and big moments that leads to trophies - Winning trophies doesn't matter if you're doing it while sitting in the backseat. Kova has won multiple titles at Chelsea but isn't regarded as a legend because his contributions to those titles is rather insignificant compared to other players. For those that will whine and say that's too high of a bar. That's what it takes to be among the best of AC Milan in their rich 125 year history. To say Pulisic just needs to score goals and win 1 trophy to be among the company of Maldini, Kaka and Shevchenko is just straightup disrespectful.

[@ricopo3522]

bout wraps it up.

[@Jadentheman]

Yep Pulisic has to lead MIlan to another UCL to even be in contention. Maybe a Scudetto or two

[@PushTheStart]

[@NoCoastRaps]

Great comment, well said. 💯

[@RanjengCisituFamily]

3 season actually enough to be a legend in Milan,but you have to score and win derby : Hateley did this,not to mentioned Ray Wilkins A turkish almost be a legend for having 3 season,he just dont want to

[@thewanderingsamurai1150]

If he can get maybe 75 Goals and help win them 2 or 3 trophies then absolutely

[@tacticalmanagertv8127]

Pulisic is destine to do all of that...

[@doke_hyou]

Still not enough

[@Neoyorchese]

At least 3 scudetti, 2 champions one club WC and 2 coppa italia trophies and at least 2 suppercoppa italiana and 1 european super cup. BALLON d'or would be a plus

[@thewanderingsamurai1150]

@@Neoyorchese that’s overboard

[@Neoyorchese]

@@thewanderingsamurai1150 well I am an old school Milan fan. For example Abate won a scudetto and he is nowhere near the rop players in Milan's history and he played all his life at Milan. Cant take the legend title lightly

[@bryseisme2]

He needs to win them multiple trophies. Milan has a lot of problems to fix first. Its less on him and more on the club management.

[@Neoyorchese]

Correct. Canmot burden CP with the big picture problems we have

[@briang2471]

If Kobe Bryant were alive he would be such a great vessel for the sport in the US. He was a huge Milan fan and the bro-ship with him and Pulisic could have been a thing :(

[@colinreese]

You would’ve loved watching David Beckham play at Milan. He played lots of one to two touch soccer with Ronaldinho, Clarence Seedorf, Kaka, & Andrea Pirlo. It was really fun to watch. David Beckham‘s combination play is really underrated, and it’s no surprise he played for Real Madrid PSG, AC Milan and Manchester United.

[@NoCoastRaps]

Very true, while he didn't play there for long he was fantastic when he did and seeing him play with Pirlo was something to behold.

[@enricomusaj7641]

Usually players are remembered when they win or the team win something. In order to become a legend at Milan you also need to be part of a team who win something important. In the current situation we are not winning any time soon(thanks to our new property). If we somehow get sold to a new owner, whose objective is to win and not to simply farm as much money as possible and destroy the club, then yes Pulisic CAN become a legend for Milan. He is at his current peak, i hope he can get even better in the future.

[@nerychristian]

Landon Donovan will become an honorary legend in Milan for inspiring Pulisic to stay with them.

[@b.r.409]

Good job Tac for getting Marco on your show. I seen him all the time on TV on CBS in Italian games.

[@BALOGUN2026]

Already liking this video by the intro. I hope more Americans continue to move to the Serie A

[@b.r.409]

I think Pulisic has the attributes to be a club legend. He scores a lot of goals, he scores nice goals in big games, he is fearless, he is a dribbler. His biggest obstacle is AC Milan itself.

[@anthonylafleur6549]

However what you have to legend is that our fanbase at Milan expects trophies. If he can continue to produce and win trophies for the club then he can become a Milan legend.

[@b.r.409]

I think we are saying the same thing. There is something miss missing in Milan right to win trophies. You need more than just Pulisic.

[@Jtve737]

Contrary to belief he doesn't score a lot of goals at all... his highest ever league tally was 12..

[@christianstone7979]

​@@Jtve737 He had 16 last season.

[@Jtve737]

@christianstone7979 that wasn't league goals that was OVERALL goals, including domestic cup.

[@mtavares9260]

I think he's up for it, without being the intended focus of Milan he's become the focus.

[@FranklinPerez-ic9fc]

Great video!!

[@DominicanStud101]

For Cristian to become an AC Milan legend he would either have to win a lot of league titles or a champions league title.

[@Neoyorchese]

Many more things required. Look at Kaka, Maldini, shevchenko, Inzaghi, Pirlo...they were exceptional and pulled heroics. Other Teams respected them d Feared them

[@Shreyo.69]

I am definitely sure if their stays he will be a legend

[@chinafriends]

Not if they low ball him with that 5 million per year extension when he was getting double at Chelsea 😭

[@luckymark571]

Learn about football before you talk, it's very known that Serie A as a whole is in bad situation economically, the Premier league is the richest so they can afford those wages

[@rociovasconez9418]

Puliccino

[@Neoyorchese]

Haha io dico lo stesso

[@Load122]

Oh damn this is a dream collab

[@almostnorris623]

I just watched Destination London by Marco Messina. A good watch.

[@GiovanniMarino-r6n]

he is already 1 of the best ac milan player oh the history, and also he is already the most strong american player of all the times

[@Prince_hood16]

0:53 nope never 😂😂😂

[@doke_hyou]

😂😂😂😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@soccerevangelist]

When are the next episodes of the puli documentary coming out?

[@bergiefbaby]

Pulisic could also go the route of a lot of Serie A legends and play for as many Serie A clubs as possible. I could easily see Inter or Juve try and sign him .

[@brendanfeely7390]

I wonder if it is more realistic for Milan in the near term, say 1-3 years if it is more likely that Milan win a Champions league than a Scudetto? Tournament competition's have a margin of chaos and luck that I think lends a more favorable chance to Milan. I think if they do, Milan would have to replicate how Chelsea won their most recent Champions League.

[@giles815]

Depends on length, trophies and goal contributions

[@ydifrancia]

I love Marco❣

[@danielwalsh8972]

Iconic moment was scoring an Olympico goal

[@Jtve737]

That was a mistake you goofyball. It was unintended. He ALREADY ADMITTED THAT

[@krumbleme2]

Should've brought on Simon Borg @Tactical Manager TV

[@colinreese]

You probably need Pulisic in the title of this one for more visibility.

[@DavidHunt805]

Way premature? Yes. Somewhat pointless? Yes. Irritating to European fans? Maybe some. But I love this type of pub/bar discussion. Smart to break out the list from the website, since many on that list are highly debatable. Thanks, Tac

[@valenciafantv]

George Weah was Liberian and is a Milan legend. It’s not that deep. Just play good and win and any player of any race can be a legend.

[@samplingmastersxlr8660]

It’s not that simple

[@RanjengCisituFamily]

Score a decisive goal in derby just like Marc Hateley or play good atleast 3 season,Ray Wilkins considered milan legend too Funfact a Turkish guy almost being legend,already have 3 season

[@neilbrown1915]

I enjoyed this video

[@JPMcFancy]

I really want him to become a legend in milan, but I don't know if he will

[@colinreese]

To be fair, David Beckham is nasty

[@nicholasjagneaux]

--> Tac, once again you show that you are a really good host and interviewer. --> You also had a really balanced view of this topic. Good job!

[@miguelv4345]

Pulisic in the same convo as Maldini and Kaka is football blasphemy 😂 Milan legends have Balón d’ors and UCL titles. Puli will get neither.

[@mockatu]

Who's watching this after the Supercoppa? I couldn't listen until afterwards. didn't want to jinx the result. Did they even mention the supercoppa? Tac, "He could go four or five years without a trophy".... and then 2 weeks later 😂😂😂. This team CAN make the CL final this year! C"mon guys they beat RM AT the bernabeau, already.

[@MdAbidHossainzim]

Pulisic is playing great. He has been improving defensively, but to tag him as a club legend is too much at the moment. I do not consider Ibra a legend either. He was a mercenary, constantly moving. I do not think he has much dedication for Milan either.

[@CVA193]

If he stays in Milan and help them win trophies then yes. I been said this when you asked if he should go to liverpool and my take was we need a European legend so let him stay at Milan. It's a perfect fit. The fans actually love him

[@FumarMota]

How about Mathis Albert or Keyrol Figueroa bro?? Any realistic chance we see them in camp I'd rather see Justin Che and Josh Wynder over MLS lifers What's going on with EPB??

[@danimorales6453]

Yes, someone will. Pulisic for Milan or Pepi if he stays for a while in PSV

[@FlyRiverFly]

If Mo Salah leaves liverpool, I could see them looking to pick up CP

[@ozonelives]

Dropped a "Like" for you in the bathroom, Tac. Welcome.

[@skalderman]

Can he pull a strong banana cross though?

[@xunliu9653]

Can he win AC Milan a CL? Definitely not. Enough of those captain America hype, we have beared that ridiculous thing for years. Yeah, the Lebron in SOCCER not football.

[@gandalfgreyhame3425]

Cardinale needs to get rid of Ibrahimovic, who is just wrecking havoc with his stupid meddling in the hiring of Fonseca, the firing of Abate, and the transfers that Fonseca pushed for.

[@tripperdelaluna1]

All of the Italian greats shoot from 25 + yards with better options at least several times a match and especially with the game on the line. Pulisic will need to work on this if he is ever to be considered legend.

[@Roman-oh7xc]

Thiago silva won the champions league after he left ac Milan 💀 what was the guy on about

[@cuongluu2918]

One down as of 2025

[@mrmr5580]

I'd say if he plays a big role in getting AC Milan back to the top of Serie A and wins a couple of Scudettos, he'll be a club legend, if he plays a big role in Milan winning a Champions League, he'll also be a legend, it's a big ask either way, but definitely within the realms of possibility

[@bladablitz]

"Can a USMNT player become a LEGEND in Europe?" IMHO... No. Not in the moment, but it is not impossible for the "next generation".

[@robertmichaeljones]

LONG way to go to really consider this. FIrst of all he has to stay at the club. I think if he keeps it up at the rate he is, the EPL will be calling agian. And if he picks it up even just a little, the money will be too much to ignore for Milan the way they handle finances now.

[@mezzanotte4547]

No way he becomes a Milan legend, not with this management

[@Ronaldoluiznazario]

Are you effing kidding me? This has to be the joke of the century!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤡🤡🤡🤡💩💩💩💩

[@straycatnip]

Yes Pepi could be

[@alexisbetterful]

No, because this team isn't up for it. He needs to win trophies but this milan team won't be able to. Unless he drags the team to winning the league like suarez almost did with liverpool in 2012 then I don't think so.

[@J_Jayyyy]

Kaka is the goat

[@markrubio1286]

I can see Mckennie becoming an legend if he stays for a while in a new club.

[@DominicZuom-f9b]

tbh No he won't be an AC Milan Legend, it takes a long way and time to be a Legend for a legendary club like AC Milan Pulisic won't be a Milan legend

[@davidhiggins7094]

I know this is about Pulisic but I was following the FC Utrecht game and was wondering what happened to Taylor Booth? He did not even make the bench. Love you channel brother

[@PushTheStart]

"Lasting memories" sounds right for me. Scoring goals and getting assists, sure. One scudetto at the very minimum (and throw in a Coppa Italia or more), for sure, but let's be real... like Tac said, this is NOT the Milan of old. The odds of them winning the UCL are not high. So I don't think European trophies are *as* critical, but getting to the quarter-finals or semi-finals again would be solid. Him speaking Italian and embracing the culture doesn't hurt too. Complimenti, Marco e Martino.

[@daltongillen643]

I think he’s on his way to becoming a legend. He’s one of the only players that the fans are currently publicly supporting.

[@doke_hyou]

What kind of joke is this do you know who is Milan 😂😂😂😂

[@lalomex1123]

I think if he stays at Milan 3-4 more years and ends up with 70+ goals and wins 2 big trophies, he would be considered

[@jrcanuck1]

LoL! You Americans are always way over the top....😁 Why don't you actually wait to see if he really accomplishes anything in the long run, before you start claiming that Pulisic could possibly be one of the Kings of European futbol...

[@MartinoPuccio]

watch the video for like two minutes and maybe you can hear answers

[@jrcanuck1]

​@@MartinoPuccio, I actually watched the whole video. I'm sorry; but I can't see any other nation's podcasters, or media, even bringing up this topic, especially when Pulisic really has only had a very good season; but he hasn't accomplished anything yet for either club nor country. To me, it is just a foreign strange topic to even think about, let alone discuss at such an early point I could see this topic coming up if Pulisic should lead Milan's scoring for 3 or 4 years in a row & if he is challenging the Milan past hero's records & if he wins some trophies and if he wins some huge matches for the USMNT; but he's not even close to accomplishing any of those things & the USMNT just got embarrassingly eliminated from the COPA in the 1st round. Also, it's nice that these 3 American, clearly huge Pulisic fans, think that he can possibly become a legend in Milan; but I wonder if real Italian Milan fans would say the same?

[@samplingmastersxlr8660]

@MartinoPuccio , yep, when people don't have a legitimate argument and they don't have any class, they just throw insults.

[@NoCoastRaps]

It's possibly one of the lowest points for the club and it allows Pulisic the opportunity to take a leadership role. If he is able to get them through this spell of bad years to help them win a title while going on a deep Champions League run - the fans will remember him as a legend.

[@derekkatz2875]

Pulisic can as long as he doesn’t go back to the EPL

[@DominicanStud101]

USMNT reaching the quarterfinals at a World Cup isn’t success. We did that in 2002 with a weaker squad. Reaching the semifinals would be special.
