A few games were well below freezing and those guys came in the cold with shirts off and painted chests. You rarely see that in soccer in the U.S. These guys really pushed - it's amazing to see that happen, usually it's just Europe. |
As a youth growing up, everyone's goal is to play on the senior team because that is the highest you can reach. |
It is a big adjustment. The higher you go the faster you have to play, the less time you have to react. You have to be mentally adjusted to the rapid changes. |
The mere fact that our coach can consider a few of us to come here and to be on the senior team, it shows that he has confidence in the youth of the country. I can't say that I should but I am very satisfied to be here to get an opportunity. |
