Borussia Dortmund’s Gio Reyna and Bayern Munich’s Chris Richards are set to make their senior international debuts this month, and at first glance it is easy to see why Gregg Berhalter has called the pair up to the US Men’s National team roster for the first time.
After all, how many countries can boast gifted youngsters in the first team pools at two of the biggest clubs in the world?
There is more to it than that, though. “We know it’s about building,” said Berhalter when announcing his squad for the upcoming friendlies against Wales and Panama.
“We want to take advantage of our athleticism. I want to see us be very aggressive on the defensive side of the ball, high pressing teams. We have enough speed in the back to be able to play a higher line and I’d like our team to be more compact when we’re pressing.”
