Any notion that there might be some lingering animosity between U.S. men’s national team star Christian Pulisic and coach Mauricio Pochettino was quashed by the Argentine manager.
“There’s nothing to talk [about]”Pochtino said on Tuesday.” I think it is behind us, it all happened in summer. And I think we need to look forward now. ,
To repetition: Citing fatigue after two severe European seasons, the police asked Pochetino if he could play in two pre-gold cups tuneups in early June, but can close the contental championship. Pchethino said that not all summer citing its priority of a group. Then, in the June 12 interview with CBS, the police said that he could not “understand that decision”. On June 14, Pochtino replied: “I don’t need to understand our decision. … Players need to listen and stick with our plan. They cannot determine our plan.”
The police made the 22-Khiladi roster in the headlines, which Pchethino on Tuesday dropped the next week’s friendly against Korea Republic in New Jersey and dropped before another exhibition with Japan Sept 9 in Columbus, Ohio. An additional player will be added in the coming days.
Speaking with reporters after the announcement of Tuesday’s roster, Pchethino confirmed that he had not spoken to the police since then. But he also said that there are no unresolved issues among the coach and the most decorated attacker of the program.
“Plan for Christian to call now [him in] And to see him in this camp, and of course hope he comes in a good position, “Pchethino said.” He was a good president with Milan, with his team, and is ready to compete. That is the most important thing.”
The Mauricio Pochettino and Christ will re -connect the upcoming matches of Pulisic USMNT. ,
The police have played more than 100 matches for AC Milan after proceeding from Chelsea – where they won the UEFA Champions League crown in 2021 – just two years ago. He led Milan in the last season and scored a goal for it Rosonary In an Italian cup win at Bari last week.
Other USMNT Mainstays also missed the Gold Cup, but are now back, Tim Weah, Sergiño Dest and Josh Sargent.
More interesting names were not included. 2022 World Cup veteran Weston McCeni, Mark McCenzie, Yumns Musa, Gio Reyana, Antony “JD” Robinson, Joe Skli, Joe Skli, Matte Turner, Haji Right and Haji Right and Haji Right and Walker Zimperman were all left despite being healthy, although JD returned from injury. Central Midfield trio Johnny Cardso, Aidan Morris and Tanner Tesman, all of whom have started a new European season, will live with their club teams this month too.
There are many MLS players in his places, who helped relatively uncontrolled USMNT side to reach the Gold Cup final last month, such as Diego Luna and Sebastian Burhelter. There are also newcomers Noahkai Banks, Triston Blackmone and Roman Celentano unaccounted. The 28 -year -old goalkeeper and 2014 US World Cup coach Jonathan Clinsman’s son Jonathan Clinsman was also called.
“This is the last opportunity to bring some new faces,” Pchethino said, who will have only three and two-match camps in October, November and March-after one.
Subsequently, he will present his final -26 player list for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will be co -condemned by the US, Canada and Mexico. Pocheto has now called more than 60 different players since taking a US job 11 months ago.
In the next summer, “players do not have to be worried, not here. They do not need to perform.
McCeni’s lapse was particularly notable. A lineup locked since marking his American debut with a goal against Portugal as a 19 -year -old in 2017, the rugged Central Midfielder started a season on the bench for Italian Behemoth Juventus, where it has been a regular starter for the last five sessions.
Pocheto said that McCeni had a brief presiden as Juve was involved in the FIFA club World Cup in this summer.
“We wanted to give [McKennie] The coach said that there is a possibility of getting more organized in his club, “the coach said.

He also addressed Reyana’s recent transfer from Borusia Dortmund to Borusia Monchengladbach, which abolished a long -term transfer saga.
“I am very happy, because I think he is happy,” Pchethino said about 22 -year -old. “If he is happy, he definitely has the talent to perform. If he performs, it is going to be good for the national team.
“When no player is playing,” he said, “It is difficult to be happy and show your real talent.”
All this seems appropriate, to make sure. Nevertheless, Pochathino was also leaving the house so many familiar names next month. Hope it will benefit Americans when it really matters: in the World Cup.
“When you manage 60-65 players, in the end, it is not easy to reduce to 26,” Pocheto said. “All the players in different camps in the past, we really know how they can, what they can provide to the team. It is desperate to perform on them and show that they are desperate to enter the national team.
“If they perform, to make sure they are going [opportunity to return]”Pochetino said.” But no one definitely has a place. This is my message to all: that [they] There is a need to fight. ,
