Why is Pulsic not playing in Gold Cup?
“At the end of the season, my body just started talking to me, and my mind, and then I think what is going to happen to me in next year and go to the World Cup?”, He said. “It was to play eight more games and then do not rest, go straight to the presiden [with Milan] And then grind another year and go straight to the World Cup?
