The coach suggested that the change in climate between Austin and Denver could have influenced the injury.\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>I think it&#8217;s a significant risk. I don&#8217;t want to say it&#8217;s because of Christian or anything, but I think it was hard for the player.<\/p><cite>Mauricio Pochettino<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\nDespite Pulisic&#8217;s absence, the United States achieved victory. Pochettino highlighted the performances of Haji Wright and Cristian Roldan.\n\nWright scored two goals, both assisted by Roldan, including the decisive goal after a quick set piece. Wright took advantage of the opportunity after being included in the starting eleven in place of Folarin Balogun.\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>I think it&#8217;s important to say: &#8220;I am here and I want to play. I want to be part of the team&#8221;.<\/p><cite>Mauricio Pochettino<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\nWright has shown great performance both in his club and with the national team, leading the English championship with eight goals for Coventry City. He attributes his good moment to the absence of injuries.\n\nPochettino praised Roldan, who has established himself in the fight for a place in the squad for the World Cup. The coach highlighted his confidence and competitiveness.\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>We need a player with confidence, with some belief, with a bit of romanticism, with a bit of competitiveness. And perhaps Cristian Roldan is the example of, if you want to build your perfect player, he has a bit of everything.<\/p><cite>Mauricio Pochettino<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\nAustralian defender Jason Geria, who received a yellow card for a foul on Pulisic, acknowledged the intensity of the match, but denied that the objective was to specifically target the American player.\n\nThe victory marked the first time in the Pochettino era that the United States came back from a losing score, after Jordan Bos&#8217;s initial goal for Australia in the 19th minute.\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>It&#8217;s no coincidence to have this ability to believe, to say: &#8216;We need to trust ourselves that it is in our mind, in our brain, in our heart, it is in our blood&#8217;.<\/p><cite>Mauricio Pochettino<\/cite><\/blockquote>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The United States national team coach, Mauricio Pochettino, reported on the injury of Christian Pulisic, AC Milan player, during the match against Australia.
