Head coach Mauricio Pochettino of the US for men is not worried about the friendly results of the team prior to the FIFA World Cup.
Pochettino took the stage on Monday from Columbus prior to the second and last friendly of the USMNT of the September window, a confrontation with Japan on Tuesday evening. The Argentinian manager received sufficient criticism on Saturday after the 2-0 loss of the program for South Korea, a result that marked the sixth overall defeat of the USMNT in 2025.
Despite the surpassing, surpassing and surpassing of the South Koreans in Harrison, New Jersey, the Americans have never recovered from a few goals of the first half of the visitors. Pochettino, who later admitted that the USMNT was the better team on the day, urged the fan base to support the team, and his selection and tactical decisions in the last nine months before the World Cup scheme starts.
He repeated those wishes again on Monday and admitted that a collective unit between fans, coaches and fans is needed to deliver the program to deliver their best versions.
“Sometimes people just want to talk to analyze the result and want to be negative,” Pochettino said on Monday in a press conference. “And I think it is a little (of) a pity. We have to be positive. We all have to be together. We have a plan. We have no worries. We have no worries about nothing. We are with the plan. We are with the players, we are a very, very strong group now. When people talk, now like people talk, talk, [they] Must think a bit that there can always be another way to assess and analyze.
“Being criticism is one thing because I like the critics, if you say things that are good,” he added. “But if they are critics for critics, I think, it is not harmful to me, [you] Damage your country and damage your players. We all have to sit behind them to offer the best platform to perform. “
The recruitment of Pochettino as a USMNT -Baas brought a lot of excitement and eagerness to what is to come, but the results did not come as often as many had hoped. In 16 games such as USMNT -Baas, Pochettino only won nine of them, with a disappointing Concacaf Nations League -Exit last March before he also lost in the Gold Cup final to Mexico last July.
The USMNT has also lost friendly matches against South Korea, Switzerland and Turkey, all nations that are among the Americans in the world ranking, exceeded 8-1. Although the USMNT grilles are mixed and competitions between domestic and international players, Pochettino expects everyone to give everything for the general goals of the program.
“You remember March, no? I think we all remember Mars,” said Pochettino. “That was a wake-up call because we had to start a different process and a different approach.”
“Everything that happened helped a bit to realize that the most important is the national team,” he added. “It is the federation. And this one. This is more important than any name … we all have to work for this.”
No. 17 Ranged Japan will be a new difficult test for Pochettino and his players on LOWER.COM Field. The men of Hajime Moriyasu have already booked their place in next summer’s tournament and have generally only lost three times from March 2023 (once in 2025).
Regardless of the opposition, Pochettin’s hope for the USMNT to win, but also for them to take a step in the direction of the World Cup as a healthy and fit team.
“Of course it is important, tomorrow I want to win,” said Pochettino. “I want to win. But the most important thing is to arrive [at the World Cup] In a very good condition and win the first game, the second game, the third game, goes to the next round and go win. Certainly, nobody will remember this press conference if that happens. “
