Team USA has made some key roster moves as they approach the World Futsal Cup. The team has recalled two rising stars from the U-20 squad, midfielder Alex Martinez and goalkeeper Daniel Rodriguez. Both players impressed during their time with the younger squad, and Coach Carlos Gutierrez believes they can bring an added dynamic to the senior team.
Weve been impressed with Alex and Daniel. Theyve been training hard with the U-20 team, and we believe theyre ready to make an impact on the senior squad, said Gutierrez.
In addition to the call-ups https://www.iihfworldchampionship.com/collections/team-finland-joel-armia-jersey, veteran defender Paul Anderson, who had been dealing with a calf injury, returned to full fitness and participated in training ahead of the World Cup. Andersons experience at the international level will provide much-needed leadership in defense.
The roster moves come as Team USA looks to sharpen its tactics in the lead-up to their World Cup opener against Japan. The USA has been focusing on developing their possession-based style of play, and the addition of fresh legs in the squad could give them the flexibility they need to compete at the highest level.
Gutierrez remains confident about his teams prospects: "Weve got a great mix of youth and experience, and I believe we can go deep in this tournament." Team USA 4NF Jersey
