Olivier Giroud, former AC Milan striker now at Lille, has shared his thoughts on Christian Pulisic's challenging season with the Rossoneri. Pulisic started strong but struggled as the team's performance declined, failing to qualify for the Champions League. Despite this, Giroud believes Pulisic has the mental strength to overcome difficulties and make a significant impact for the US national team.

Giroud, who played with Pulisic at Chelsea, praised the American's talent and work ethic. He noted that Pulisic reminds him of Eden Hazard, with his ability to beat defenders and create scoring opportunities. However, Giroud also highlighted the importance of having a supportive team environment, which Pulisic lacked at times during his Milan stint.

The French striker emphasized that Pulisic needs a strong team around him to succeed, as he can't carry the team on his own. Giroud expressed optimism about Pulisic's future, citing his growth and experience gained from playing in both the Premier League and Serie A.

Giroud's comments offer valuable insight into Pulisic's character and abilities, as well as the challenges he faced during his first season at Milan. As Pulisic looks to bounce back, his mental strength and talent will be crucial in helping him achieve success with both club and country.
