USMNT legend Kasey Keller is furious after Mauricio Pochettino let Christian Pulisic and few others depart camp before facing Mexico 😳
“Personally, I think they [USMNT] need to get beat by 3-0. Then, it would a wake up call that we need to take this more seriously.”
“Because I don’t understand this at all. There are 10 camps before the World Cup and here is your first opportunity to set the first impression, yet the whole message right now is ‘Meh. Okay. Go ahead and leave’ to players.”
“I don’t get it. I truly, truly don’t understand it. What I want to see is an awakening. The tone being set right now is ‘Go back to your club, that’s more important anyway’.”
“You just made this huge investment [for Pochettino]. You blew out the bank, you had to go to Wall Street to pay for it. And every message from the way the team plays and the squad selection is ‘Do we really care about this?’ That’s not what I expected.”
“Everything is falling flat. What a wasted opportunity. It’s not like they’ve been dominating games over the last eight months. They need every game they can get to be in form before the World Cup.”
“Basically what Pochettino is saying is clubs are more important than the national team. Not the way I would’ve started my tenure as the national team coach.”
“I hear so many reporters talking about we needed to hire this manager and now it’s like ‘Meh, it’s okay. Go back to your club, I don’t care’. I am really questioning that decision.”
“We keep hearing about Pochettino is coming in to set this culture and the culture is ‘I would rather be at my club. Okay fine, go ahead’.”
