First the scandal with the national team, then the possible farewell with Juve. But now things have changed for McKennie: the American is decisive
Until a few months ago it seemed one step away from goodbye, a sacrificial lamb to be able to invest strongly in the market. In the end, though, McKennie convinced everyone with excellent performances, earning the confidence by Massimiliano Merry and a place in the team. The American midfielder is a period of extraordinary form, decisive also in the national team. Last night, in fact, the 1998 class after a few minutes of play unlocked the match against Honduras, finished on the result of 3 to 0 for the national team with stars and stripes. The best wishes from Juventus must have been useful:
Yet just a few months ago the Juventus midfielder had been in the eye of the storm for having violated the anti Covid rules during the withdrawal of the national team. In fact, yesterday in the pre-game he admitted: “By violating Covid regulations, I have disappointed a lot of people. Since that episode, I’ve grown a lot. I have disappointed everyone: national team, club and fans. But the first to be deeply sorry was me. I had the opportunity to reflect and make myself an examination of conscience: it was a real life lesson, which of course I have now learned. I had lost faith in myself. But once back in Turin I started working head down again, maturing with a greater awareness of myself. I had to mend relationships with practically everyone, proving once again to be a player and, even before that, a reliable person. I have metabolized the error: what happened, therefore, helped something“.
Now the 1998 class is a fixed point in the national team and in the Juventus team, important joker for Massimiliano Allegri. Half-winger, winger, attacking midfielder, McKennie plays everywhere and always well. Thanks to his poison insertions and his infinite resistance, the American is one more weapon for the Bianconeri. For him already 4 goals in 23 appearances between all the competitions and the goal is to improve these numbers even more. Good luck, Wes.
