The midfielder is determined to make his mark for the US men’s national team, despite struggles in club soccer
Gio Reyna admitted on Thursday that news of his call-up to the US national team may have come as a surprise.
“I guess you could say it was sort of one of [Mauricio Pochettino’s] more difficult decisions, or I guess controversial decisions to maybe bring me in,” he told reporters in Atlanta, where the US national team has gathered ahead of friendlies against Belgium and Portugal. “Again, I can’t appreciate it enough. Love this team, love this staff, love this group of people. So just always honored to be here.”
