Christian Pulisic has been dealing with intense pressure for most of his life.
Pulisic was earmarked as a future superstar at a young age and made his debut for Borussia Dortmund at 17, before eventually joining Chelsea for $70.4 million — easily the highest fee ever paid for an American player.
At the World Cup, Pulisic will be expected to star for the USMNT in Qatar on the world’s biggest stage. No pressure, right?
In a Volkswagon commercial, Pulisic embraces the pressure that is shown to have accompanied him since the beginning. The carmaker compares the pressure Pulisic faces to the pressure of creating a vehicle that can help solve the world’s climate change crisis.
The carmaker claims that the ID4, its electric SUV, is one of the cars that can do just that.
In addition to Pulisic, the commercial also features Clint Dempsey, “Ted Lasso” star Brett Goldstein (aka Roy Kent) and legendary broadcaster Martin Tyler.
