'Try to make mistakes': Thierry Henry explains what Pulisic needs to become world-class

Сhristian Pulisic's creativity is unquestionable, and he's a vital player for his national team. However, some believe that in club football, he plays it too safe. According to Thierry Henry, to reach superstar status at San Siro, Pulisic might need to take more risks and break free from that cautious approach.

Thierry Henry said: "As a creative player, if you don’t try to make mistakes, you cannot succeed. I can see on the national team, [Pulisic] feels like, 'I can make mistakes.' When you play on the big club [team], you play the ball one time and it’s a mistake and the next time you touch it is 15 minutes after."

"People remember every time you touch the ball that you lost it. The international team, he plays with that confidence. We were all creative players, so you have to score. So if you feel like in your head you can’t lose that ball, then you might as well step out of the field and don’t play."

Pulisic couldn't really shine at Chelsea because he had a hard time getting a regular spot in the starting lineup. Now, in Italy, he'll be determined not to face the same situation again.
