Great challenge
John Herdman spoke about the weather conditions: “I think the field has been a challenge for both games, but that’s not going to matter when we are playing Mexico because it will be a war, they are coming with everything, both teams want to finish first in the group at the end of the year, this is the CONCACAF championship and they are historically the best team and it’s a great opportunity for our team, for our country to step up and make a statement”.

The U.S. coach and I talked about our work and we’ve learned from that. We have a wounded warrior, they are going to come and challenge us with the best they have, but we are ready for this fight”.

“The reasons for a resignation have to do fundamentally with the decline in the team’s performance and lack of response of the players to what the coach and the coaching staff require, none of that happens to us, the other day we played the first half more than correct and we should have won it in that first half”.
“The reality is that we have gone in performance from better to worse. We started 2019 and part of 2020 well, it cost us the inactivity due to pandemic, and from June until now we have not been able to see a team that has completed high performance matches. We have not been the team we could see in 2019. There is a lot of work ahead, beyond the fact that times are getting shorter.”
“It is not easy to maintain the intensity, especially because of the pace of the match in the first half. There are players who are too important to do without. The U.S. can sustain a high level of intensity with any team, but it’s true that with the intensity matched we could have opened the scoring earlier.”
“Until last dates the team had 14 out of 18 having played half of them away, we closed the first round with a painful defeat that was with the United States, but we cannot think that because of a lost first game we have to be careful, neither should we expect that after seven games played and only one lost we are at the bottom of the abyss.”
“What I believe is that those of us who conduct soccer and those who play it operate on a different path than the path of the press, we do not train according to the expressions of the press, we do not play depending on the expressions of the press, we are not more or less demanded by the expressions of the press, we simply do our job. We try to do our best, we try to win each of the matches we have ahead of us, but we are not completely oblivious to what is happening around us, nor are we permanently pending of what may be said, especially because of this”.
