Part 4/9:
The narrative quickly shifted from individual blame to a discussion of team dynamics. Pulisic, seen as one of the main players expected to elevate Milan’s play, should have received support from fellow teammates in moments like these. The conversation highlighted the roles players must adopt: do you prioritize respect and robust team leadership, or do you cede to newer players who might be seen as equally capable?
The analysts pointed out an intrinsic link between self-confidence and leadership, asserting that even in a team with collective accountability, certain performances should shine through. They suggested that a lack of clear leadership during matches could undermine the effectiveness of otherwise talented players attempting to assert control in situations that demand decisiveness.
