Players of the national team of the United States are talking about a small group this week after a 4–0 defeat in Switzerland on Tuesday. The first match of the Gold Cup Fast is against Trinidad and Tobago (ET) on Sunday, which is trying to reveal confidence in small people to create some types of pre-tournament sparks before finishing the group’s sports vs. Saudi Arabia and Haiti.
“This is one of them [games] You see it, you analyze it, and you believe it was not quite good, “Veteran defender Tim Reem told reporters on Friday afternoon.” But you can take a lot of different learning experiences from it. What to do to reach that level for these people? And, what do you have to do day and day to be able to correct those things?
“As hard as it is in that immediate moment and how terrible it seems to lose and the way we did, it is something that you just have to take on board and understand what to do to go to that level and compete at that level.”
The USMNT last week expected to gain momentum before the Gold Cup with matches of sending two against quality opponents. While the team was able to get the positivity out of the first match, Turkee lost 2–1, Swiss cut a young American side and scored four goals in the first 36 minutes of the match. The result created a huge amount of anxiety and criticism, especially given that a World Cup on the soil of the house is now less than 365 days away.
While 37 -year -old Reem has not experienced such a situation in his career, he has tolerated the high and climb mixed with abundance of external negativity. He can provide some knowledge to his small peers how things have to go back in the right direction.
“I think it’s like a overlapping message for us, it is our group right now. This is what we have to trust,” Reem said. “Each of us has to stay on each other’s back and we all have to live together. Whatever is being said outside, you know, it is clich, but it is noise. We can’t do anything that people say there. No matter whether you play the biggest game of your life or the worst game of your life, they will be of opinion.
“It’s just one thing, let’s put your head down and put back each other, the communication is probably as high, and we get through it.
John Tolkin, who came as a second-half option vs. Switzerland, echoed a uniform feeling.
The 22 -year -old defender said, “The biggest thing is not beating itself too much.” “Obviously we are very disappointed and we know it is not quite good and it is not the standard we want to play. But the second you start getting very negative and start to self-confine yourself, I think things can go to the south.”

Tolkin has appeared five times only for USMNT. He may be one of the new faces on the roster of head coach Maurisio Pocheto in this summer, but this does not mean that he has not experienced adverseness in his career. For example, he said that he was given a unique perspective in Bundaliga through allegations with the German side Holstein Nail in his first year, which the American squad is currently passing.
“It’s like a chaotic time right now,” said Tollkin. “It seems that maybe we are lying or something else, but you just have to see the boy next to you and just fight for each training session, each match. Because all the media, all opinions – all the opinions – these days it is impossible to see it these days – but you will really have to rely on left and right and they are going to work for themselves.
“We still have a huge opportunity to change the story and focus on the next summer World Cup, and this is [by winning] it [Gold Cup] The tournament and what we want to do. And to do this, you have to block all other noise and focus on all the people of the locker room and coaching staff and training staff and with all those who are traveling together, which we are really working hard to prepare for these games. So if we can do this, I think you are going to see success on the field. And hoping that light souls all around. ,
