The United States of America National Men’s Football Team produced a massive win in the lead up to its final game under head coach Mauricio Pochettino.
USA hammered Haiti 6-0 in the first of a double header in the CONCACAF Nations League with AC Milan winger Christian Pulisic scoring twice in the big win. USA take on Haiti again on Wednesday, November 18.
Pochettino earlier this week agreed a deal to replace Michael Carrick as head coach of English Premier League side Manchester United.
The Argentina coach has managed EPL sides including Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea and won the French Ligue 1 title with Paris Saint-Germain.
Auston Trusty scored the game’s opening goal and in an interview with TNT Sports after the win, the Glasgow Celtic defender said,
“We played for him-Pochettino. Obviously he’s our gaffer. Obviously it’s sad that he’s moving on. Obviously it’s a great opportunity that he is moving on into, but we play for him. It’s his team, it’s his identity.”
“The mindset is to win every single game, every single match and no matter how many goals you’re up, you keep fighting, you keep putting on the score and just do your thing, play our game.”
