Column: U.S. Soccer has a reputation for fielding hard-working teams and developing players who never give up, but the Americans want a stronger identity, kbaxter11 writes.
Christian Pulisic has scored nine goals in 24 games for the U.S. national team, and he's only 20 years old. coach of the national team
But the midfielder isn’t alone in setting the bar high for a national team that failed to qualify for the last World Cup. U.S. Soccer has a well-earned reputation for fielding hard-working teams of limited skill, for developing players who never give up but never seem to have a clear identity of what they stand for either.“One of the goals that we have is to change the way people look at American soccer,” agreed midfielder Weston McKennie, who is also 20.
Winning is only part of the goal at this point. The larger aim is installing Berhalter’s style and establishing the team identity that goes with that. The coach says both those things will take time. Defender Matt Miazga, halfway through his first camp with Berhalter, agrees with those aims — and with McKennie’s desire that the team build a personality that is part old-school grit and desire as well as part new-generation ambition.
“We’re continually defining exactly who we want to be as a group as we get more players in,” the coach said. “This phase still is the evaluation phase of who we are as a group. This takes time.”
