Borussia Dortmund signed 16-year-old Pulisic in February 2015, and assigned him first to their U17 squad and in Summer 2015 to the U19. Pulisic was called to join the first team over winter break, after scoring 10 and assisting 8 in just 15 games with the Dortmund youth teams . While still with the first team in the winter break, in January 2016, Pulisic played the second half of two friendly matches, scoring one goal and assisting another. A day after making his debut on the first team bench, on January 24, Pulisic played 90 minutes in a friendly against Union Berlin, scoring a goal and assisting another. On January 30, 2016, he made his Bundesliga debut in a 2–0 win against FC Ingolstadt , coming on as a second-half substitute for Adrián Ramos.

Thomas Tuchel team manager, in response to Pulisic’s performance against Schalke,said, “He’s a teenager in his first year of professional football. His first two games in the starting eleven were in Leverkusen and here today in Schalke – not the easiest of tasks. It shows our huge appreciation that we see him as a full time player on our team. He was a valuable substitute against Werder Bremen and Liverpool. He has looked really good recently which has been proved today. It is completely normal that he could not have played with this pace and this intensity for over 90 minutes.”

On April 17, he scored his first Bundesliga goal for Borussia Dortmund opening the scoring in a 3–0 home win against Hamburger SV. This made him the youngest non-German and fourth-youngest player to score a goal in the Bundesliga, at just 17 years and 212 days old.

The following weekend, one day before his 18th birthday, he scored his first goal of the season and provided two assists in a 6–0 victory against Darmstadt 98. Pulisic came on as a second-half substitute in a September Champions League group stage game against Real Madrid, with Dortmund trailing 2–1, and helped set up André Schürrle’s late goal, allowing Dortmund to earn a 2–2 draw. Pulisic, in a substitute appearance on October 22, assisted one goal and scored the equalizer against FC Ingolstadt, who were last place at the beginning of the day, to salvage a draw, coming back from 3–1 down.

Interview: Borussia Dortmund and USMNT sensation Christian Pulisic

Adopted From: foxsports1340am.com Borussia Dortmund and United States Men’s National Team sensation, Christian Pulisic, 20, has scored three goals and assisted four in 18 games this season. The USMNT standout has registered 485 minutes of playing time this season in the Bundesliga for Borussia Dortmund. Pulisic, who has earned 23 caps and scored nine goals for the United States Men’s National Team, became the youngest-ever player to score two goals in a Bundesliga game in May 2016 at the age of 17, coupled alongside emerging as one of the most talked about young talents in Europe. The 20-year-old American right winger, who is of Croatian heritage, has won the German Cup, Bundesliga U-19 title and Bundesliga U-17 championship to date in his career in Germany. The Hershey, Pennsylvania born USMNT star has also won U.S Soccer’s Young Male Athlete of the Year (2016), U.S Soccer’s Male Athlete of the Year (2017), as well as being named in the UEFA Champions League Breakthrough XI (2016). Christian Pulisic caught up with FOX Sports Radio 96.9 FM/1340 AM’s Dean Perretta to discuss Borussia Dortmund’s current season, as well as Der BVB’s major ambitions and goals in the current campaign. Dean Perretta: Firstly Christian, what are Borussia Dortmund’s primary ambitions and goals for this season? Christian Pulisic: Same as always, we want to play an important role in the Bundesliga with the main goal to qualify for the next season in UEFA Champions League again. To do so, we need to finish amongst the top four. While we remain ambitious and of course want to finish as strong as possible, we at the same time had quite an upheaval in our team this past summer. Many new players came in, so we will need some time to find ourselves as a group. Dean Perretta: What are your overall thoughts on Borussia Dortmund’s UEFA Champions League group? Christian Pulisic: It’s an interesting mix of teams, a challenging group but at the same time we feel strong enough to be able to reach our main goal here: to remain in competition once the knockout stage starts in the new year. Dean Perretta: What do you feel you have learned most from playing under Lucien Favre? Christian Pulisic: It’s still a comparably short amount of time but I realized quickly of how much he is a coach who pays a lot of attention to small details. He really wants to improve each and every player. And he seems to find with ease the bits and pieces to do so. Dean Perretta: Which particular areas of your game do you feel you improved upon most during the summer? Christian Pulisic: As always, I feel first and foremost that I improve by the experiences I gain by playing as many games as possible and also by training on an everyday basis on such a high level of competition. I feel very well out there. Dean Perretta: Lastly Christian, what are your own personal targets and goals for the current season at Borussia Dortmund? Christian Pulisic: I want to provide my share to the team’s success, like I said to finish as high as possible in the Bundesliga, to advance as far as possible in the cup competitions – and being an offensive player that means of course to produce as much as possible in terms of goals and assists. My recent goal against Bruges might have come with a bit of luck, but I took it happily since it helped us starting with a victory to the Champions League.

Christian Pulisic News

Christian Pulisic transfer to Chelsea is a historic breakthrough for U.S. soccer

Source: washingtonpost.com American soccer has been waiting a long time for this — a young attacking player with breathtaking ability joining an elite European club for an absurd amount of cash and subsequently earning a global headline as a new year dawned. For some 25 years, U.S. players have been carving a modest presence overseas. Many have been goalkeepers and defensive types. Some have arrived with scoring portfolios forged in MLS. Several were dual nationals, born and trained abroad. Intra-European transfers involving king’s ransoms and glamorous suitors were reserved for the likes of David Beckham, Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar; for Manchester United, Real Madrid and Barcelona; for Brazilians and Argentines and Spaniards. Certainly not for Americans. Christian Pulisic, 20, busted that mold Wednesday when Premier League titan Chelsea purchased him from German leader Borussia Dortmund for $73 million. (That doesn’t include the multimillions Chelsea will provide him in salary.) The transfer fee was more than three times the previous record for a U.S. player — in May 2017, John Brooks, a defender, jumped from one middling German club to another without fanfare — and around the 25th largest in the sport’s history. Pulisic will remain with Dortmund through the end of the season, then in August become the first high-profile American, not including goalkeepers, to suit up for an English heavyweight since, well, forever. Brian McBride and Clint Dempsey did score goals for Fulham, but the Cottagers operate in the shadows of London brethren. (Dempsey also had a seven-goal campaign with Tottenham before returning to MLS.) Claudio Reyna and DaMarcus Beasley liked the ball at their feet. John Harkes played for trophies at Wembley. Tim Howard, Kasey Keller and Brad Friedel were world-class goalkeepers. Pulisic has always been different. His electric skill set — initiated in Hershey, Pa., by parents who played at George Mason University and took him abroad in early 2015 — belies the reputation of Americans being hard workers, supporting actors and little else. Amid gains in the sport since the late 1980s, the United States has developed few creative male prospects suited for the world’s brightest stages. (Where have you gone, Freddy Adu?) In terms of dynamic attackers, the closest comparison to Pulisic was Landon Donovan. Their acceleration and confidence with the ball are eerily similar. Donovan, however, spent the bulk of his decorated career in San Jose and Los Angeles before retiring last year, never making a European breakthrough despite opportunity in Germany and England. As a teenager, Pulisic was starting regularly in the Bundesliga, which sits in the top tier of European circuits with the Premier League, Spain’s La Liga, Italy’s Serie A and France’s Ligue 1. Beyond domestic competition, Dortmund typically qualifies for the UEFA Champions League, which brings together clubs from across the continent. Given his high-level experience at such a young age, Pulisic was one of the top five transfer targets this winter, regardless of nationality. Liverpool — guided by his former Dortmund mentor, Juergen Klopp — also reportedly took interest. The appeal of Pulisic’s capacity and age overshadowed his lessening role at first-place Dortmund this season. Bumped from the lineup by English teenager Jadon Sancho, Pulisic has appeared in 11 of 17 league matches, starting five and scoring once. He has continued to start in the Champions League. Given Pulisic’s profile and cost, Chelsea is almost sure of thrusting him into the lineup next summer. The Russian-owned Blues won the Premier League in 2014-15 and 2016-17 but finished fifth last year and are fourth this season, 11 points back of front-running Liverpool entering Wednesday’s matches. Beyond Pulisic’s contributions on the field, Chelsea is, no doubt, counting on a marketing bump in the United States. Through tours and TV exposure, European clubs have made great strides in recent years appealing to U.S. audiences. Chelsea, though, is not nearly as popular here as the likes of Manchester United, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich. Thanks to Pulisic, Dortmund might have a larger following, as well. Given the historical ties between England and the United States — and that NBC Sports’ presentation of the Premier League is akin to NFL coverage — Chelsea is eyeing an uptick in exposure and jersey sales. NBC is certainly thrilled about building coverage around an exciting U.S. player. (Two defenders and a defensive midfielder comprise the current U.S. contingent in the Premier League.) Pulisic’s mega-move is also a victory for U.S. men’s soccer, which, in the wake of the 2018 World Cup qualifying fiasco, has fallen off the sports radar and begun major renovations under new coach Gregg Berhalter. Before the Chelsea transfer, Pulisic was already the centerpiece of the program. Wearing Chelsea colors and competing on the sport’s most popular circuit, he will soon inherit a role no American has ever taken.
