Some U.S. men's team players have voiced their support for former coach Gregg Berhalter.

The record speaks for itself,” Zimmerman said of Berhalter, who was 37-11-12 with the U.S. “He did a really good job of creating a team culture and a chemistry that was impressive. He has handled a lot of things very, very well.”“Gregg’s a great head coach,” he said. “He did a great job of banding us together and really making sure we’re all fighting for the same goal.
“He’s the guy that gave me the opportunity to make my debut in a World Cup, and I think he did a great job in the World Cup,” Acosta said. The inclusion of Long and Acosta suggested there will be continuity between Hudson’s and Berhalter’s teams, but it’s also a nod to Acosta’s skills as a leader. His 55 caps rank fourth among active national team players and he’ll be counted on to provide a veteran presence for newcomers such as, a veteran German-born MLS defender who recently became an American citizen and will train with the national team for the first time.
Perhaps that’s because Haaland doesn’t fit neatly into Guardiola’s preferred style of play. Under the former Barcelona midfielder, City plays a possession-based, short-passing game, which is why it leads the league by wide margins in passing and possession and has controlled the ball more than two-thirds of the time this season. Haaland, meanwhile, is averaging just 14 passes a game; four teammates are averaging more than a pass per minute.
