I’ll Repay Pochettino’s Faith In Me – Freeman

USMNT breakout star Alex Freeman has hailed Mauricio Pochettino for believing in his talent. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, Poch boosted his determination to go on the pitch and prove himself the moment he said he believed he could be one of the best.

Freeman added that he’ll do everything possible to be the player his manager wants him to be.

His words, “If he thinks of me in that way, now I have to show it on the field. Knowing that he thinks that I could be one of the best, how can I go on the field and not only show him that, but show the whole world that I could be one of the best, right?

Then for me, it’s to go in and be able to be better every day, and I think that’s what I’m going to try to do, knowing that [Pochettino is] going to push me as well. I can be that kind of player that he’s talking about, and hopefully I will. But to have that confidence and having that confidence from the coach about you, it just makes you want to play for the coach.

It makes you realize that you can do more. You believe in him, because he’s been around and he’s seen so many different players. He’s seen so many quality players and players that have been at that high level for a long time.”

WOW.
