Pulisic denies rift with AC Milan coach Conceição

Christian Pulisic has publicly denied rumors of a rift with AC Milan coach Sérgio Conceição, stating that he has never argued with the manager or requested to leave the club. The denial comes after Italian media reported that Pulisic and teammate Youssouf Fofana were unhappy with Conceição's methods following AC Milan's recent UEFA Champions League elimination. Pulisic emphasized his happiness at Milan and his commitment to the team, urging unity among players and fans. Reports suggesting a standoff have been described as exaggerated by multiple sources, reinforcing that the team is focused on achieving their goals for the season. Pulisic, who has had a strong season with 12 goals and 9 assists, was substituted in the Champions League match, where Conceição was looking for tactical adjustments. AC Milan currently sits seventh in Serie A, under pressure for improved performances as they head into upcoming matches against Torino and Bologna.
