re: Anyone just see that Pulisic goal?

Would it be off base to assume that a less physical, slower paced league like Serie A could be a major benefit to his long term fitness over a season this year? Aren’t the referees generally much more protective of attackers and calling fouls? I don’t watch a ton of Serie A but plan to this season.

Maybe, but I don't think Pulisic's injury history (hamstrings) had anything to do with the EPL's physicality.

The league may be a touch less physical than the PL but it’s still very high level soccer. Esp with the top 6 clubs.

its still the same sport. CP got stomped on his ankle twice in the first 45. there's less pressing in seria a so the pace of play is alittle slower, but a challenge is a challenge.
imo, CPs biggest problem in the prem was his lack of ability to consistently get past his defender. he had something like a 44% take on rate at chelsea, below avg. those turnovers will be less punished in seria a, and the quality of player will be lower, so when that % improves, confidence improves, good things can happen.

Milan also has some medical lab or something and probably the best sports science in the world (for a club), at least they did 10 years ago. Idk what magic healing juice they give those guys but when players are still playing well there at age 40 you have to take notice.
