United States men's national team coach Mauricio Pochettino focuses on team development rather than seeking revenge against critics after a strong start in the 2025 Gold Cup. Following a four-game losing streak, the team achieved a convincing 5-0 win against Trinidad and Tobago. Pochettino is preparing for a challenging match against Saudi Arabia, highlighting their competitiveness and recent success, notably defeating Argentina in the World Cup. The U.S. team is also considering integrating players Tyler Adams and Johnny Cardoso for upcoming matches, despite low attendance during the tournament.
I think we're here to create a group and a team ... searching for the best pieces. We're not here, in the case of losing and now winning, to be vengeful.
When you win, everything is fine, and when you lose, it's normal to have criticism. I think that's what is normal in soccer.
A team with experience, they are really competitive. I think they did very well beating Argentina in the last World Cup.
The characteristics of the players, Saudi Arabian player, always aggressive, fast, good speed, good technique. Yes, tomorrow is a good challenge for us.
