Weston McKennie is in outstanding form for Juventus, thriving in a new role as their starting right wingback, and it may have major implications for the USMNT under Mauricio Pochettino. In this episode of Yanks Abroad, I break down why McKennie’s recent performances have been so effective, how this role plays to his strengths, and whether it can help energize and solve problems for the USMNT moving forward.
I also dive into Johnny Cardoso’s impressive form at Atlético Madrid, where he has stepped into the midfield in place of Conor Gallagher and quickly established himself with his composure, defensive reliability, and tactical awareness.
With both players excelling in evolving club roles, this video explores what their form means for their responsibilities, fit, and importance within the USMNT squad.
