In his brief time as manager with American men’s national teamMaurisio Pocheto has not overcome making, we will say, interesting roster decisions. Roster on Golden bowl Chalk-Full players were about to make their international debut, when it would be easy to wrong in favor of going with experienced artists, even some players opted to sit out of the tournament.
But Tuesday’s USMNT roster deviated from Bucking Convention in options that were completely mysterious.
Di, some familiar names made their way to the roster. AC Milan Attacker Christian, Marsail Winger Tim wah And Psv eindhoven guard Sergino Dest For several reasons, after remembering the Gold Cup, they return to Guna. Clearly their presence will give USMNT a significant boost. The police team has the best attack threat. Weah provides raw speed, better to spread defense. Dest attacker is a wild card, capable of unexpected, and closed for a red-hot start with PSV.
But some were notable – and the dazzle – absent too.
, USMNT Roster: Pulsic Back but McCeni out
, Pulsic spat on USMNT’s Pochetino: ‘To talk about nothing’
, Would Gladback have saved Reyana’s career?
Some were frozen in logic. Antony Robinson Just looked with her first minute Fulham After recalling all the Club’s Presiden matches in the last weekend, because he recovered from knee surgery. Psv Ricardo Payi Is in a similar position, and As Monaco‘S Foller Balogun Shook a calf injury to start his season. None of this trio was understood right. Keeping them with your clubs allows these players to get a fitness base under their feet and then be available to the next window in October.
Some players, such as Borusia monchengladbach‘S Gio Reyana And this New England Revolution‘S Matte TurnerRecently switched clubs. Another, AC Milan of Yumns MusaIt can do this in the near future, although his priority is to live and fight in his place with Rosonary. His absence also seems rational.
Other exclusion, however, were shocking. Weston McCeni The biggest lapse was. Di, there has been a continuous decrease during their play time and start during the start Siri a Campaign. In the last weekend, McCeni did not reach the ground till 89th minute as 10-man Juventus Predominant Perma 2-0.
But Pchethino appeared to tie himself into the lumps, trying to explain why McCeni was released.
“We know Weston,” there was an explanation. He then said that he wanted McCeni to “settled in his club” to give him a chance to crack the initial lineup. When asked to compare McKeni’s status to the police, Pochtino brought McCeni’s participation in the club World Cup and the fact that the tournament did not play in the tournament and therefore was more resting.
Shifting explanations invite confusion rather than clarity. It is not that Weah, who was also played in the Club World Cup with Juventus, was not working with a level of stability similar to McCeni. And yet, Weah was called, but was not McKennie. In addition, when it comes to USMNT, McCeni is not some fringe artist – he is someone who is a stability for the last seven years.
Even if you accept the explanation of Pochtino at the inscribed value, someone thinks that the next player will be like someone Lyon‘S Tanner Tamen Or middleLesbruck’s Aden morrisBoth are closed to start impressive with their clubs. But Nah, Pochtino chose Columbus crew‘S Sean ZavadzkiWhich has spent more time in the center this season than midfield.
There is more. There was no place back to the center Mark mcenziWhich is closed with a strong start Toolus In France‘S Ligue 1 In this season, Pochtino is going to Vancouver Triston Blackmon And 18 years old FC Ougsburg Possibility Noahkai Bank,
On the outside, the only new addition is from the squad played in the Dest Gold Cup. Columbus’ Max arfasten, Philadelphia Association‘S Nathan harryal And orlando Alex Freeman remains. Was there really no place for Borusia Monchengladbach Joe Scali,
In some parts of the area, it seems like an unexpected change of the new roster guard. John TolcinHolstein exploits the nail, where he has scored twice in his last two matches, either did not count much.
Pocheto said that this camp is the last opportunity for players who are outside the USMNT setup to create an impression. What he sees as his current pool of artists deepens 65 players. He said that the players should not be shocked if they are not called in this camp.
“I think player [don’t] Need to be worried, “Pocheto said.” They need to perform. They actually need to believe that they can be part of the squad, and to ensure that our job is to select the players … and see the player and the way they want to play. And so, we want to make sure that we will choose for The Last Roster before the World Cup, which we want on the pitch. ,
But another interpretation of Pochathino felt close to the mark. At one point, he said, “Nobody has their place [assured]And this is my message to all. They have to fight. ,
Pchethino has several times reduced the lack of grit in the team. This inactivity was particularly clear in the Concacaf Nations League in the last March. Tapa re -revealed in the Gold Cup, although an eager to prove themselves with a small crop of artists. It can be very well that he is trying to burn a fire under some players.
“When you see various national teams, national teams, who win the World Cup, I really understand what it means, that players need to feel a threat from your team partner and need to protect the place in every possibility,” he said.
Will Pchethheno pay a mixture of hard love and crazy scientific mode? This is a huge gambling.
At some point, Pocheto needs to start thinking what their final squad will be formed. The World Cup is less than 10 months away, and preparations have been made with several factors including compressed deadline brought by rebirth and firing of Greg Burhelter before hiring Pochtino.
The Gold Cup was believed to be the time of iron items for the presumptive start, only for the absence of the player in double digits to force the plan to change. In some cases, the upcoming camp looks the same.
With the September window, there are only four more opportunities before the team called for the East-Cup Cup camp in next May. There is a need to establish chemistry. Relationships need to be forged. With this collection of players, it is absolutely not clear that the opportunity offered by the September window is being maximized.
