“It’s really people trying to get attention because they know how big of a superstar he is, that they know if they mention his name, they'll get clicks.”
Former USMNT coach Gregg Berhalter blasts those criticizing Christian Pulisic, including Landon Donovan.
Berhalter and Donovan played together both at the USMNT and LA Galaxy, but Berhalter believes Donovan’s comments on Pulisic are unwarranted.
“I think it's unwarranted. I don't like to hear it,” Berhalter said when asked about Donovan’s comments.
“You know, the one thing I know about Christian, and I've worked with a lot of top players, is I haven't seen a top player be such a humble and team guy like Christian Pulisic.
“He does not have the superstar ego. He's a total team player. I don't know how much you guys know about it, but before every World Cup, he got the entire team gifts of appreciation for their hard work before the World Cup.
“And he's injured. He's legitimately injured. And I mean, that's something that, you know, it's so easy for us to sit here and talk negatively about a player without understanding what they're actually going through.
“If you ask him, was it his best World Cup, he would say, of course not. He would want to perform better.
“But to question his lack of effort or lack of caring or lack of determination or even his character, I think is unwarranted because he's a great guy, he's a humble guy, and he cares so much about the team.
“I think in a way, guys, it's really people trying to get attention because they know how big of a superstar he is, that they know if they mention his name, they'll get clicks.”
