American legend Donovan previously criticized Pulisic, saying that the 40-year-old Ronaldo is still fighting for the country, while some American players such as Pulisic are on vacation. In response, Pulisic's father Mark Pulisic responded.

Last week, Donovan, when commenting on Portugal's penalty defeat to Spain as a commentator on the UEFA Nations League final, he clearly expressed his dissatisfaction with Pulisic's request for US coach Pochettino not to call himself into the Golden Cup.

"This is the meaning of playing on behalf of the country," Donovan said in his commentary, "this is the meaning. If you are a professional player, as a person who is lucky enough to wear that jersey, don't come. This is the meaning."

"Royce is 40 years old. He just finished his long season. He is tired, but he is still fighting on the court and even injured. I can't help thinking that some of our players are on vacation and don't want to participate in the Golden Cup. This annoys me."

Although Donovan did not name Pulisic, he obviously implied him and Yunus Moussa and Anthony Robinson who also missed the Golden Cup.

In response, Mark Pulisic let ChatGPT explain Donovan's 2012-13 offseason event - a decision that ultimately led to his undrawn in the 2014 World Cup squad.

AI chatbot replied: "Landon Donovan chose the offseason because of his physical and mental fatigue caused by many years of high-intensity competitions and the pressure of top athletes. He became famous at a young age and participated in many World Cups, so he needs to temporarily leave the arena to adjust. This rest allows him to recover, travel and relax, and finally return to the football world with a new mentality."

Mark Pulisic posted a screenshot of ChatGPT's reply on Instagram, and his son Christian Pulisic liked the news. Donovan is not the only one who criticized Pulisic's decision. Another American legend, Laras, also raised similar questions, emphasizing that as the US, Canada and Mexico World Cup approaches next year, the national team needs as much time as possible to run-in.
