I'm trying to become just more clinical in every situation, whether it's the final pass, the final shot, or whatever it is.
Quote by -Christian Pulisic
It's my biggest dream as a soccer player: I always wanted to play in the World Cup.
Quote by -Christian Pulisic
I'm not super outgoing, but I think the biggest thing I can do is lead by example.
Quote by -Christian Pulisic
I was always, you know, a decent player growing up. And yes, I was born with a certain amount of so-called 'natural ability.' But I also worked and sacrificed a lot to try to maximize what I was born with - which I think is important to point out.
Quote by -Christian Pulisic
In the U.S. system, too often the best player on an under-17 team will be treated like a 'star' - not having to work for the ball, being the focus of the offense at all times, etc. - at a time when they should be having to fight tooth and nail for their spot.
Quote by -Christian Pulisic
I think it's important to make clear, you know, that the problem with American soccer... it isn't talent.
Quote by -Christian Pulisic
I learned a lot in the Bundesliga, just playing with these very physical players, playing quickly.
Quote by -Christian Pulisic
I've always been hard on myself, so I expect so much out of myself that that pressure can be inspiring at time.
Quote by -Christian Pulisic
Luckily, I've just had a lot of people around me that have helped me through it because I wouldn't even be close to where I am if I didn't have the support system I do. I wouldn't be able to do it on my own.
Quote by -Christian Pulisic
I played with the youth national team, I played in some CONCACAF games, and it's always physical; it's always intense.
Quote by -Christian Pulisic
I was always very small, so growing up, I was always getting kicked around. It was something I kind of grew up with.
Quote by -Christian Pulisic
I've always said that there's a bit of a different sense of pride when you're playing for your national team.
Quote by -Christian Pulisic
LeBron James has always been the biggest one - I just love to watch him. I'm a big fan, and he's a big inspiration of mine.
Quote by -Christian Pulisic
It's definitely one of my biggest passions - I played every day after school with all my friends from high school in Pennsylvania. They weren't really soccer players, so we would play basketball all the time.
Quote by -Christian Pulisic
I'm just trying to live in the moment and do the best I can for myself and for my teammates, and that's all I can really focus on.
Quote by -Christian Pulisic
I try to have an impact on every game, whether it's by making runs or using quick moves to try to get by defenders or making a nice pass to help my team.
Quote by -Christian Pulisic
I think it's normal to have competition once you get to the professional level.
Quote by -Christian Pulisic
If you want to be at the highest level, then you have to really work hard every day.
Quote by -Christian Pulisic
I was watching the 2014 World Cup, and I was playing with the U-17s, I think, at the time. I remember watching it in the summer, and I was like, 'You know what? It's a pretty crazy goal, but I want to be there in 2018.'
Quote by -Christian Pulisic
Just knowing that people are going to the game or something with your jersey on and supporting you is really exciting and was a dream of mine. Every time I see it at Dortmund, at games, it's still exciting and gets you really excited to play.
Quote by -Christian Pulisic
I would say the youth systems in Germany have impressed me the most and how they grow their youth players into full professionals.
Quote by -Christian Pulisic
I think, with soccer, you never really know what's going to happen in your career - that's the beauty of it.
Quote by -Christian Pulisic
A lot of people have asked me what's it like being an American player in Europe. 'Do you have to earn more respect because you're American?' But I don't think it's like that at all. I think if you're good, you're good. They don't care where you're from or anything like that.
Quote by -Christian Pulisic
It's a fast learning process if you want to be successful at the highest level.
Quote by -Christian Pulisic
When it comes to cup competitions and the Champions League, it's always about going as far as we can. Getting out of the group stage is the first objective, then after that, we will see.
Quote by -Christian Pulisic
The expectations some Americans put on me is too much, is what I would say. But I don't take it that way. I know no one means harm to me like that or wanting to put too much pressure on me.
Quote by -Christian Pulisic
I was very young, but I just remember going to school every day in England, which I didn't enjoy. Every day, as soon as the bell would ring, we would go out and be on this little - it looked like a basketball court, but it was a soccer court with goals and a hard floor.
Quote by -Christian Pulisic
Being able to play at club level at a high level and then getting called into the national team, it's amazing.
Quote by -Christian Pulisic
Lionel Messi, getting to meet him, you're a little star-struck in the beginning, of course.
Quote by -Christian Pulisic
My dad taught me, like, no matter what, when I go out and play against these bigger players, just to be myself. I knew that I was good enough and that I had the ability to. I never shy away from anyone, and I don't think anyone should.
Quote by -Christian Pulisic
I played one year of competitive basketball, actually. I don't remember what grade I was in, maybe middle school or something. I was the point guard - I was the smallest one always. I did my best; I thought I did pretty good. I was always a little bit better at soccer, so I had to make the decision.
Quote by -Christian Pulisic
It really does frustrate me when I watch MLS, and I see our best U-17 players - who, again, are so talented and so capable - being rostered... but then not being put on the field much to actually play. I watch that, and I just think about how I was given a chance... a real chance... and it changed my life.
