The American striker Christian Pulisic has asked the American Soccer Federation to speed up the process of appointing the selector, describing the dispute between the outgoing coach as “childish”, Gregg Berhalterand gio reyna.
“Everything that happened around Gregg was handled in an extremely childish way,” explained the star of the US team. (24) to the sports channel ESPN. “The parents complained that Reyna played little. I don’t want to get too involved, but I think Gregg was very unlucky to find himself in his current situation.”
The United States team, eliminated in the round of 16 of the last World Cup, last fall in Qatar, has not had a designated coach since Berhalter’s contract ended on December 31.
Its renewal by US Soccer, the American federation, seemed like a formality, but he was accused in December of having beaten the woman who became his wife more than thirty years ago. The case took a spectacular turn when Reyna’s parents revealed that they were behind the accusations brought to the attention of the federation.
Claudio Reyna, a professional soccer player in the years 1990-2000 and former teammate of Berhalter, and his wife Danielle explained that they alerted the federation to these events that occurred in 1991 because the coach of the United States National Team had behaved unfairly with their son. in the World Cup in Qatar.
Yes ok Berhalter admitted the facts and an independent investigation concluded that there was no legal impediment to his re-election, the president of the US Federation, Cindy Parlow Cone, indicated that US Soccer did not plan to appoint the future coach before “the end of the summer”.
Pulisic believes that everything should be resolved before. “Should we wait any longer? I don’t think it’s necessary because we are in a very different situation than when we failed to qualify for the 2018 World Cup in Russia, when everything had to be rebuilt. Now we are a compact and solid group that does not need to start from scratch “.
