Arlington, Texas – Mauricio Pochettino smiled and shook his head in disbelief. He was asked about him Tellman owner Several times during this Gold CupAnd it runs out of ways to say the same thing.
“It is difficult to define it because, what a player, no?” Pochitino said.
Tillaman scored the opening goal of the national team of men in the United States in what was eventually a Haiti beat Haiti to close the group stage on Sunday at AT & T. The Americans had already obtained a place in the knockout round last week after defeating both Trinidad, Tobago and then Saudi Arabia. But winning all the three matches gave the team nine points and put them at the top of the group d.
The United States will recover for a week before confronting Costa Rica in the quarter -finals on Sunday, June 29 in Minneapolis (7 pm Easter at Fox).
Telman, who started in all the three gold Cup matches so far, scored his third goal of the tournament in the 10th minute when he went to the house a right cross from Brenden Aronson.

Aronson said: “One of the scout reports was that the rear door is open,” Aronson said. “We have quality with our wings and always dangerous with Jack [McGlynn]and Diego [Luna] After that with me today, I just saw a very returned post and thought, “Yes, I will hang it there.”
Telman was the most entertaining part of the match and used ingenuity to constantly put himself in threat sites. He would have had more goals if these other opportunities were not called in the second half.
First, there was an unintended hand ball in the 64th minute.
Moments later, Tillaman collected a pass over the back line of Tyler AdamsHe achieved a 360 -degree turn, and only ended to control this infiltration goal.
Then in the 74th minute, Tellman brought the ball an exceptional control, but its shot was widely. Even if he had entered, there was an argument.
One minute later, Patrick Ajmang The game winner scored to give USMnt the final result 2-1. His fifth goal was in nine games.
“To be honest, I feel frustrated,” Telman told reporters after the match. “I don’t know if you can see it, comrades, but I am trying to keep it more inside me and not show it. But yes, I am disappointed. So far I still feel very disappointed. I should have registered at least one.”
It took some time to find Telman to find confidence and a groove on the international stage. While scoring 16 goals in 34 games with PsV Einhoven last season, he never found the network of USMNT before the Gold Cup. Now, 23 -year -old midfielder scored three goals in three games.

“What a player who offers this camp his talent and ability,” said Poittino, who recently described Tillaman as one of the most talented players in the country. “Work ethics and the way in which it is really prepared – restore a lot of balls.
“He always tries to help the team to press, chase, and play in a different position. It can appear like number 10 between the lines, can be on the right or the left side, can fall and play like No. 8 or No. 6.
“What a talented player. I am very pleased. He is very happy. He is a beautiful man, and he started finding himself. The team is much better when he participates in the game.”
Now, however, the risks rise. While Saudi Arabia and Haiti were strong opponents of a young American team that is played together for two weeks, Costa Rica will form a more solid test. As well as any potential mixture of Mexico, Panama or Canada – the United States will face the teams to win the gold cup.
In those matches, the missing chances of Tillaman may cost the United States, so the goalkeeper can be a mistake Freiz died Make when he is Tim ReemThe misunderstanding led to the Haiti equation in the 18th minute.
But USMnt has done what is required to do so far by winning its group and progressing to the quarter -finals in the Gold Cup when it could have escalated after those embarrassing losses before the tournament.
Aronson said: “The steps we have taken, I think they are huge,” Aronson said. “Among the great results with Turkiye and Switzerland, I mean, it’s difficult. You go down to yourself and things like that.
“But what I see from this group is that metaphor. You come to the tournament and you can let it bother you, you can let the negativity bother you. But I think the biggest thing in this group is that we are controlling everything. We only continue.”
