"I think so. I think the thing with Diego that is unique is, he's an attacking player that brings a spark. He brings a spark in the way he presses, but he also brings a spark in the attack."
"He doesn't care whether he's playing against Guatemala, Belgium or Portugal, he goes at players, he takes them on, and his mentality is that it's him against the world."
"It's lit a fire under all the experienced guys, and that's what really brings the group together. The level of training in these last few months has been better than I've seen in the last five years that I've been here."
Pablo Mastroeni advocates for Diego Luna's inclusion in the USA World Cup squad, citing his unique attacking abilities and competitive spirit. Real Salt Lake has accumulated 10 points in five matches, with Luna returning from injury to contribute off the bench. Despite not being called up for recent friendlies, Luna has shown promise with five chances created in limited playtime. Mastroeni notes the positive impact of young talent on the team's performance and training intensity, emphasizing the need for competitive spirit in the squad.
