The former United States striker Eric Wynalda says that Gio Reyna who returns to Major League Soccer would be a disaster for the national team due to the lack of hard nose competition at the national level.
The future of Reyna in Borussia Dortmund is uncertain after another season full of injuries that restricted it only 341 minutes in the Bundesliga.
A movement towards the Italian side Parma has not materialized, which caused suggestions that it could return to the United States and play for LAFC.
That, according to Wynalda, would make a less threat to a USMNT who desperately needs the 22 -year -old recovers his mojo before the World Cup finals next summer.
The story tells us playing in the competitive advantage of the MLS Dulls – Wynalda
Speaking in Unleashed with Eric Wynalda, he said: “Gio Reyna worries me. I don’t think going to Lafc and playing for Steve Cherundolo will help.”
Wynalda points out the fact that MLS has tried to bring the US internationals back before and led to a fall in acting, and added: “Let’s remember the idea of taking Michael Bradley home with Jozy Altidore for Toronto.
“They also brought Clint Dempsey back to play for Seattle. They paid $ 6 million a year! That was 2014.
“After three years in the League, what happened to our national team?
“Does Michael Bradley, Dempsey and JOzy Altidore cannot find a way to qualify against Trinidad? With Christian Pulisic trying to collect the remains and make something happen at an early age?
“This is what happens when you return and you are preparing for a World Cup and you are playing in the MLS. This is what you get. You will not be competitive in an environment of the World Cup. End of history. This is not an opinion. This is factual.”
Wynalda Slates ‘Boring’ Cherundolo
LAFC has also been linked to a movement for Tottenham captain, Heung-Min, but Wynalda does not trust Cherundolo to get the best of a player.
“Cherundolo is someone I have met for a long time. He is boring. He hates the media. He will not inspire anyone to do anything before a World Cup,” said Wynalda.
“Sorry if that hurts your feelings, but he is not the answer. He would not be the answer as coach of the national team, and he probably returned to Germany.”
