Christian Pulisic was challenged to build his perfect player, and had a share of interesting picks for each category. He didn’t forget about his favorite USMNT teammate.
In a video for Soccer dot com, the AC Milan player was challenged to name players in different categories that would build into his dream soccer player.
Categories varied but were not exclusive to speed, passing, defending, shooting, strength. You get the gist.
Christian Pulisic builds his dream soccer player, includes Weston McKennie
The USMNT captain named former teammates from his days with Chelsea, Borussia Dortmund and even name-dropped some legends of the game.

This player would be a problem.
To no one’s surprise, Pulisic picked Weston McKennie as the person responsible of contributing his exceptional ‘banter’ to the player build. An iconic American friendship.
Here is Pulisic’s full dream player breakdown:
Speed - Theo Walcott
Passing - Xavi Hernández
Defending - Mats Hummels
Shooting - Zlatan Ibrahimović
Dribbling - Lionel Messi
Strength - N’golo Kante
Leadership - César Azpilicueta
Banter - Weston McKennie
Not a bad player, Christian. Not a bad player at all.
