Ex U.S. men’s national team goalkeeper, Brad Friedel has said Gio Reyna’s rise at Borussia Dortmund has been quicker than expected.
Gio, son of ex SMNT star Claudio Reyna and former U.S. women’s national team midfielder Danielle Egan, made the move to Borussia Dortmund last year after breaking through with New York City FC’s academy.
Speaking recently, Brad revealed that he feels Reyna is currently on the right path towards getting to an elite level.
He added that Reyna is making American football proud with his current displays at the current club.
His words, “The emergence has happened so quick for Gio,”
“He was over in the U.S. for NYCFC doing well. I’m sure everyone is familiar with his dad who had a very successful playing career over in England, Germany, and Scotland.
“I’ve seen Gio play many times in academy sides for New York as well as the youth national sides. Everyone expected him to leave and play in Europe somewhere, but we didn’t expect to see him emerge in Dortmund’s first team so quickly – it’s great for him, and amazing for football over here in the U.S. as well.”
