Football

According to Fox Sports, in an interview, U.S. national team coach Pochettino denied that he and Pulisic still had conflicts.

Note: After playing the 24-25 season, Pulisic asked Pochettino on the grounds of physical fatigue, "I hope to participate in the warm-up matches before the two Golden Cup games in early June, but will not participate in this Intercontinental Championship." Pochettino rejected the request, citing his hope that the team will maintain a complete lineup throughout the summer. Subsequently, in an interview with CBS on June 12, Pulisic said he "can't understand" the coach's decision. On June 14, Pochettino responded: "I don't need him to understand our decision. ... What players need to do is follow the arrangements and implement our plans firmly, and not point fingers."

This Tuesday, Pochettino said in an interview with the above story: "There is nothing to say. I think the things that happened in the summer have passed, and now we need to look forward." Pochettino recently announced the 22-man roster of two friendly matches next week's United States vs. South Korea (playing in New Jersey) and Japan (playing in Columbus, Ohio) against Pulisic.

Pochettino admitted that he had not communicated with Pulisic since his previous differences, but he also said that there is no unresolved problem between him and Pulisic. Pochettino said: "Pilisic will participate in this US training session. We hope he can report in good shape. He spent a good preseason in AC Milan and was ready for the game. This is the most important thing."

Since taking over the US coach 11 months ago, Pochettino has called up. More than 60 players said when talking about the unselected this time: "The players who are not selected don't need to worry. What they need to do is to show actual performance and truly believe that they have the ability to become a member of the team (to participate in the World Cup next summer). "

Regarding his failure to call McKennie this time, Pochettino pointed out that since Juventus participated in the Club World Cup this summer, McKennie's preparation time before the season was too short. Pochettino said: "We hope to give McKennie A more stable environment in the club allows him to adjust to his best condition. "

Regarding the recent transfer of American player Renner from Dortmund to Borussia Mönchengladbach, Pochettino said: "I am very happy about this. If Renner is in a good mood and with his talent, he will definitely be able to perform well. As long as he can perform well, it is naturally a good thing for the US national team."

Regarding how he determines the 26-man roster of the US team to participate in next World Cup, Pochettino said: " When you want to manage 60 to 65 players and finally screen 26 players, it is not easy. We have all the players who have participated in the US training camp in the past few periods, and we know very well what they can bring to the team. Whether they can be selected depends on whether they can perform and whether they can show their determination to be in the national team. (On my team) No one's position is a foregone conclusion, and that's what I want to say to everyone, they have to go all out to fight for their position. "
