Christian Pulisic’s “aggressive” approach has seen him earn the trust of his Chelsea teammates, according to United States manager Gregg Berhalter.

And Berhalter believes Pulisic has adopted a brave mentality to take a leap
“You see now that [Pulisic] was picking the ball up in space, in pockets and just being really aggressive going at defenders, dribbling defenders,” he said.
“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.
