Christian Pulisic’s ‘aggressive’ approach has helped him succeed at Chelsea, claims USA manager
Gregg Berhalter believes the 21-year-old’s recent form has seen his teammates show that they trust him

“It’s not just only on the sideline. Now he’s getting it towards the middle of the field and he’s had some really positive effects, taking players on.
