Christian Pulisic, a key player for the U.S. men's national soccer team, will miss the upcoming CONCACAF Gold Cup along with other regular starters due to various reasons. Coach Mauricio Pochettino emphasized the need for players to demonstrate a fighting spirit to the anxious fanbase. Pulisic, having played around 120 games over two seasons, opted out for rest, while other players like Weston McKennie faced conflicts due to FIFA commitments. Following poor performances in earlier tournaments, this Gold Cup is critical for setting the tone leading into the World Cup.
It's our responsibility to send some signal to them... I think our fans need to see our team fighting and playing and performing well.
Pulisic... asked to be left off the roster for the last competitive matches due to fatigue from 120 games over two seasons.
