Source: Call It What You Want (CBS Sports Golazo) — March roster deep dive: Reyna, Zendejas, Luna & midfield options (Soccer 3/19)
Duration: 1h 4m
USMNT Roster Selection
Gio Reyna is a special case. It's an indication of how Pochettino feels about his quality rather than his playing time. He's a player that's gotten 21 minutes since January 17th, so playing time is not what Pochettino is looking at in certain cases.
We don't follow exactly the rule in all the players exactly in the same way, because all are completely different, different characters, different profiles, different quality, different talent.
Leaving Zendejas off this roster is a little bit surprising to me. I still think he's the guy that we've slept on the most, who has consistently done it at his club.
If he doesn't do well this camp, not having Zendejas here is even worse, because now you're going to have to bring him in the next camp. If I'm Zendejas, I'm pissed, man.
Transfer Rumors
Ricardo Pepi is going to be making his move to Fulham in the Premier League. I know we touched upon it before, but now it seems to be getting closer.
I want Marco Silva to stay. My concern is that Marco Silva could be leaving. Ricardo Pepi comes in with a new manager. That's a clean slate for all the players.
Inter Miami CONCACAF Champions Cup exit
Inter Miami spent this money, you're expected to get past this. I don't care who you're playing. And this would be a hit for Jorge Mas, who was on the field after the final, immediately as they're celebrating, talking about CONCACAF Champions Cup.
Inter Miami Tactical Analysis
You built a whole project around playing through Busquets to open up the game. Rodrigo De Paul is not that player; he's a bodyguard for Messi. He's a destroyer, he's not the problem solver.
USMNT Midfield Options
Johnny Cardoso is one of those players who hasn't excelled yet at the international level. He's looked out of place, he's looked a step off, he's made poor decisions.
Noah Kai Banks recruitment
I don't want you here if you don't fully want to be here. We went through this with a couple of players back in the day where this was like the U.S. was their second choice.
