"United States defender Tim Ream says Giovanni Reyna is "more focused" than ever during his return to the national team. Reyna received his first call-up in seven months after struggling with form and fitness, but is set to play a role in the Stars and Stripes' friendly against Paraguay on Saturday. The 23-year-old has had a turbulent few years with the national team, after a well-documented dispute between father Claudio and former coach Gregg Berhalter following the 2022 World Cup."
""I feel like he's [Reyna] more in-tune and more focused on the field than I've seen in the past, which is a great thing," the defender said. "Whether it was injury or other things that were going on, I think his focus is so much greater now. What happened, happened. We've all moved on from it, and they have as well, and I think that's a good thing."

The 23-year-old experienced turbulence following a public dispute involving his father Claudio and former coach Gregg Berhalter after the 2022 World Cup. Mauricio Pochettino included both Reyna and Sebastian Berhalter in the current squad as the United States prepares to co-host the 2026 World Cup. Tim Ream said Reyna appears more in-tune and focused on the field. Folarin Balogun was also called up and expressed excitement about playing with Reyna.
