(AP) \u2014 In a career-worst scoreless slump, Christian Pulisic is confident goals will come for him at the World Cup.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/raleighmovingnews.com\/?p=1937\">Israeli launches strikes near ancient heritage castle site in southern Lebanon<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve had this happen before in my career,\u201d he said Saturday, a day before the U.S. faces Senegal in the Americans\u2019 next-to-last warmup match. \u201cThere\u2019s difficult times and then sometimes one will bounce off your knee and go in and then it seems like everything goes in after that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pulisic had 10 goals in his first 15 matches for AC Milan this season but went scoreless in 19 games after Dec. 28. He has has gone eight U.S. matches without a goal since November 2024.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is going to score in World Cup. Yes, I really trust in that,\u201d coach Mauricio Pochettino said. \u201cHe has very good attitude, very good commitment. He\u2019s trying so hard to get his best level and I think he will achieve it for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A 27-year-old attacker from Hershey, Pennsylvania, Pulisic has 32 goals in 84 international appearances. His goal in the 1-0 win over Iran at the 2022 World Cup advanced the Americans to the round of 16.<\/p>\n<p>He has the most international experience among the 26 players on the U.S. roster and is the lone holdover from group that played in the 2017 loss at Trinidad and Tobago, which ended the Americans\u2019 streak of seven straight World Cup appearances. Pulisic is among 13 players returning from the 2022 roster.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGuys have just gotten a lot more experience at club level, international level,\u201d Pulisic said. \u201cGoing through that World Cup as a team, going through the really good performances and getting through the group and then having a tough loss against a big team, it all helps you grow. It all helps you learn.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At the 2022 World Cup, Pulisic was injured while scoring against Iran, then returned for the 3-1 loss to the Netherlands in the round of 16.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/raleighmovingnews.com\/?p=1935\">Thunder to be shorthanded again for Game 7 against Spurs in West finals<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost of the guys are going to go into this World Cup a lot \u2014 yeah, just a bit more relaxed, ready for these big moments,\u201d he said. \u201cEvery game and every big moment just feels just a little bit easier and you feel a little more comfortable going into it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Milan finished the Serie A season with two wins in its last eight games, wasting a lead on the final day and missing Champions League qualification. Coach Massimiliano Allegri and CEO Giorgio Furlani were fired.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t try to place blame or figure out the problems,\u201d Pulisic said. \u201cThere are moments where I could have done a lot better and it was a difficult time for our team. It was a difficult time for me, and that\u2019s what it comes down to. I haven\u2019t changed the way I train, the way that I prepare, the way that I continue to move forward and try to improve every day. I\u2019m still doing that every day and that\u2019s why I can keep my head high. Obviously, I\u2019m disappointed but now I have to look forward on what\u2019s in front of me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sunday\u2019s game against 14th-ranked Senegal and a June 6 friendly against No. 10 Germany will be the last prep matches for the 16th-ranked Americans before their World Cup opener against No. 40 Paraguay on June 12. Defender Chris Richards, recovering from two torn ankle ligaments, won\u2019t play Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m sure we\u2019re going to test a couple things, move some guys around,\u201d Pulisic said. \u201cMaybe it won\u2019t look exactly as it will in the games.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When the Americans last gathered in March, they lost 5-2 to Belgium and 2-0 to Portugal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust getting a little bit of rhythm and a good feeling with the team going into the tournament,\u201d Pulisic said. \u201cThese are two really strong opponents, so we have a great opportunity to test ourselves going into the World Cup. Obviously, we want to get good results, but most importantly, just feeling confident.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/raleighmovingnews.com\/?p=1933\">Larry King, ex-husband of Billie Jean King who helped with growth of women\u2019s pro tennis, dies at 81<\/a><\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>AP World Cup: https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/fifa-world-cup<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FAYETTEVILLE, Ga.
