Christian Pulisic has the rare skill for a United States player of unlocking tight defenses. 

Pulisic touches the ball in the final third 29.77 times per 90 minutes for Borussia Dortmund, which is in line with their other attackers.

With the USMNT, Pulisic touches the ball in the final third 31.44 times per 90 minutes. Pulisic is the only player to touch the ball in the final third more than 30 times per 90.

The United States' best results have typically been when ceding possession and attacking at speed.

Pulisic's movement makes more space for strikers in the box, it opens up lanes for midfielders to run into.
