Juventus star hails Whites midfielder ahead of World Cup clash
Juventus and USMNT midfielder Weston McKennie has hailed USA captain and Leeds United midfielder Tyler Adams ahead of their match against Wales in the World Cup tonight.
McKennie has been the subject of much interest from the Whites, and with Adams being given the armband by USA manager Gregg Berhalter, fans would love to see the American join Brenden Aaronson and Adams in a midfield trio.
When asked to name the favourite player he has played with by former United States international Kyle Martino on Kwik Goal, McKennie opted to mention Adams over the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Paulo Dybala while at Juventus.
"I would probably have to say Tyler. There’s a history, there’s a background, we’ve shared kind of a similar story and we both… I feel like, when we’re both on the field together, we know we have each other’s back, no matter what comes.
"If he sees I get tackled dirty, he’s messing up that guy and if I see him get tackled dirty, I’m messing up that guy. It’s honestly crazy and it’s amazing in my head whenever I think about it. We just understand each other so well and we get along so well.
"Whenever you have that connection with someone, it’s better than any big name that may not do the same."
