. The US Men’s National Team has been making strides under the leadership of Mauricio Pochettino, but with every new era comes changes for the players involved. Let’s take a look at the winners and losers under the Argentine coach.
One player who has thrived under Pochettino is Christian Pulisic. The Chelsea winger has been in scintillating form for both club and country, and his performances have not gone unnoticed by his new coach. Pochettino has praised Pulisic’s ability to take on defenders and create opportunities for his teammates.
“I have been very impressed with Christian’s work ethic and his attitude on the field,” Pochettino said. “He is a player who can change a game in an instant, and I am excited to see what he can do for the USMNT in the future.”
Another player who has caught the eye of Pochettino is Weston McKennie. The Juventus midfielder has been a key figure in the USMNT midfield, and his versatility has been a valuable asset for the team. Pochettino has spoken highly of McKennie’s ability to adapt to different roles on the field.
“Weston is a player who can do it all,” Pochettino said. “He has the ability to play in multiple positions and his work rate is second to none. I am confident that he will continue to be a key player for us moving forward.”
However, not every player has thrived under Pochettino’s leadership. One player who has struggled to find his form under the new coach is Sergino Dest. The Barcelona full-back has struggled for consistency and has not been able to replicate the performances that he showed under previous coaches.
“I think Sergino is still adjusting to my style of play,” Pochettino said. “He is a talented player, but he needs to work on certain aspects of his game in order to be successful at this level.”
Overall, the USMNT has seen both winners and losers under Pochettino’s leadership. It will be interesting to see how the team continues to develop under his guidance, and whether the players can adapt to his style of play in the long run.
