U.S. national team coach Pochettino has released the new national team roster, but both American celebrities, Donovan and Howard, criticized his selection on the podcast.

Next, the United States will play a warm-up match with South Korea and Japan, and Pochettino decided to continue to call in many new players for inspection. But Donovan said: "It's time to determine his team. In fact, I'm a little confused about his approach, because it seems that he is still in the trial stage. In my opinion - I think you will agree with me, the best way is to say 'those are 15, 20, 25 players I've identified' and move forward with them. Maybe there will be one or two wrong choices, then you can always add new players to the roster sometime in the future."

Former U.S. international Howard also thought: "Who is his responsibility." The goalkeeper you want? Who is the best goalkeeper? This time Pochettino summoned Klinsman Jr. and Cerentano, but players of this level cannot participate in next year's World Cup, right? Therefore, Fries, Stephen, Turner, Schulte should be summoned, and then said to them, 'I want to select three goalkeepers from you four. You have 10 months to put in every effort to fight for the position of the national team.' I think that's what we should do."

Donovan also talked about the absence of some important players: "This makes It is understandable that Pochettino did not want to reveal his trump card in public. He was asked some very direct questions, such as why McKennie was absent, Pochettino's answer was 'We already know McKennie. 'Well, what does that mean? I don't know. Scully was not selected, and I don't know why this is."

Finally Donovan also said: "I would recommend a player who started in the US League team and was ahead of the current selection in the US country in the competition The other two players of the team. He played three consecutive Champions League this season, and they are the best players in the game. I want to tell those who don’t know him, he is Aidan Morris. If you don’t know him, then go and see Middlesbrough’s game, he has become the best player in the game three consecutive games, and the team has not lost in the Champions League this season. He used to be ahead of Zawazki and Berkard in the competition for the position of Columbus crew, and I don’t understand why the national team doesn’t give him a chance. ”
