Tim Weah credits the USMNT’s dominant display this week against Jamaica to Mauricio Pochettino.
“Honestly, it’s the coach,” he said about the team coming out strong to score three goals in the first half.
“We kind of just listened to what his instructions were in training, and we applied it to the field. He gives us the freedom to play.”
Pochettino was happy with the performance, but more so with the first half, and not so much with the second half.
“I think we all saw the way that we want play,” the new coach said.
“The challenge in the second half was to win the second half.”
“That was only the thing that was a little bit worrying, not to go into the second half with the same mentality. I think there are things we still need to improve.”
The second half saw Jamaica scoring twice, while the USMNT only scored once. Regardless, the Americans won the game 4-2 and Pochettino also spoke about how the players are learning his tactics quickly.
