USMNT coach says star Christian Pulisic ‘need to listen, to stick with our plan'
The U.S. men's national team has made headlines for all the wrong reasons lately, and head coach Mauricio Pochettino piled on Saturday. Star midfielder Christian Pulisic went on a podcast earlier this week to sound off on his reasoning for sitting out of the upcoming CONCACAF Gold Cup, the last major tournament before the national team takes on the World Cup in 2026. Pulisic cited his need for rest and recovery following a grueling schedule with AC Milan in Serie A. In his absence, the USMNT extended its losing streak to four matches after falling to Turkey and Switzerland in friendlies last week. Pulisic said he asked Pochettino if he could compete in the aforementioned friendlies but not the Gold Cup, to which Pochettino said no. Pochettino elaborated on his decision in a news conference Saturday at San Jose's PayPal Park on the eve of the USMNT's match against Trinidad and Tobago. He did not mince words. 'Player no need to understand,' said Pochettino, 53, who was hired to be the new USMNT head coach in September. 'Player need to listen and to stick with our plan. He cannot dictate the plan because if not, OK, we swap the position (of coach and player), no?' Pochettino, with decades of coaching experience that includes stints at prominent European clubs such as Tottenham Hotspur, Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea, made clear that no single player would determine how he runs the USMNT. His rationale for wanting a fixed roster for the two friendlies leading into the Gold Cup had to do with continuity. If Pulisic would have played in the two friendlies, Pochettino said it would be at the discretion of his staff to determine Pulisic's readiness for the Gold Cup and whether rest was indeed necessary for the USMNT captain. 'The most important thing is that we explain why we decide (to) not include in the two friendly games, and then if you have some problems, no, that is not my problem to understand,' Pochettino said. 'I think it's so clear that we say we want you to start training with the group, two friendly games ... it's up to us after to assess, to analyze if you need to rest or no need rest, because we have a group of professional performance, doctor and athlete and coaches. 'I respect and I understand him, I understand him, but I don't need that he understand our decision because my position is, I am 53 with a lot of experience in fútbol, in soccer, and I was player before coach.' One of the questions posed to Pochettino during a presser that lasted more than 30 minutes — and included promising 21-year-old midfielder Diego Luna, who did not receive a question until about 23 minutes in — referenced Pulisic as the best player. In response, Pochettino made sure to emphasize his team-first mentality. 'You say the best player, yes, he's a good player, of course, but he need to perform because I want to judge him like Diego, like another,' Pochettino said. 'If (Pulisic) performed well and he's the best, it's normal he's going to have a place in the national team. … When I signed my contract in the (United States Soccer) Federation, I am the head coach. I am not a mannequin, you know? 'I love to communicate, but at the same time, I want to keep that all the players feel the same respect from the coaching staff and from myself. If someone doesn't like this, OK, but this is we, it's we. We can win. We need to work together. We need to be all together. We, we, we, we, we, we, we. … It's about we, not about I.'

Inter striker Taremi stranded in Iran amid conflict: club
Inter Milan's Iranian international forward Mehdi Taremi has been stranded in Tehran due to the Israel-Iran conflict and is unable to join the Italian club at the Club World Cup (ATTA KENARE) Inter Milan forward Mehdi Taremi has been stranded in Tehran due to the conflict between Iran and Israel and will miss the start of the FIFA Club World Cup, the Italian club confirmed on Saturday. Taremi was in Iran last week on international duty, scoring in a 3-0 victory over North Korea in a World Cup qualifying game. Advertisement However the 32-year-old was unable to get a flight to join his Inter team-mates in Los Angeles due to the ongoing confrontation between Iran and Israel. An Inter source confirmed to AFP that Taremi was stranded in his homeland. Inter open their Club World Cup campaign against Mexican side Monterrey on Tuesday at the Pasadena Rose Bowl east of Los Angeles. The opener marks the first game in charge of new Inter coach Cristian Chivu, who was named on Monday as the successor to Simone Inzaghi, who left following the club's 5-0 drubbing against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final. Speaking at an introductory press conference at the team base in Beverly Hills on Saturday, Chivu said Inter were ready to bounce back from the double disappointment of just missing out on the Serie A title as well as the Champions League final. Advertisement The 44-year-old former Romanian international said Inter could look back on the season with pride. "We should't forget this team's journey -- it was a great season," Chivu said. "This team has great quality. They got right to the end but they didn't get the trophies. It wasn't a failure of a season. "We knocked out Bayern and Barca in the Champions League. We were top of the league, one of the best in Europe, for a long time. So we cannot forget this. Failure doesn't exist in football. Failure is making excuses." td-rcw/bb
