This week’s edition of “The U.S. Soccer Podcast” saw Jordan Angeli and Charlie Davies outline the National Women’s Soccer League’s plan to return to play in June before welcoming USMNT midfielder Tyler Adams. In his second season with Bundesliga’s RB Leipzig, the 21-year-old talked about how the return to play has gone in Germany, how he’s adjusted to life abroad and a new language and culture. Adams then shifted gears to discuss the bond that continues to form between USMNT players during the Coronavirus pandemic, his thoughts on leadership and desire to one day captain the USA and advice to younger players looking to follow in his footsteps.
