Christian Pulisic

I think it's normal to have competition once you get to the professional level.

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.

I've been fortunate that I have good athletic ability, just in general. Quick, strong, able to bounce off players, trying to be strong in winning tackles, and annoying to play against, pretty much.

I think it's good to have competition.

Wherever I am on the field, I'm just trying to be an attacking presence and constantly be on their back four and try to make a difference in that way. So it doesn't matter where I play for my club.

If I can inspire kids to do what I do - want to become professional soccer players - then I think that that's everything I want to do.

As a kid, I just always learned that if you want to be the best, you have to play against the best.

I think what we really want to do is to create a real soccer nation. We want to have kids really wanting to play the sport.

I like to think of myself as a tough kid.

I think any kid wants to get on the field as much as he can.

When I was a kid, I collected a lot of cards from all different sports.

I've always said that there's a bit of a different sense of pride when you're playing for your national team.
