Landon Donovan

I'm going to show everyone I know. Last one from me. I go through your list of players you've coached, and it's Messi, Mbappe, Neymar, Kane, some others. And I just think it's incredible the places you've been to coach and the people you've coached. Is it fair for me to ask you who's the greatest player you've ever coached?

I mean, we know Messi is probably the greatest, but I mean, I look at what Mbappé has done in the game. No, exactly.

It was really nice to sit with him. I do think he gets it, and we always put that in air quotes, and what I think that means to me is... We as fans get frustrated with the team at times about the setup.

We question some things and from being around him, both on and off camera, I get the sense that he shares a lot of those same frustrations and that he realizes that he can only control so much by getting his players You know, this summer he gets them for five weeks, why we think the Gold Cup is so important, but ultimately he gets these players for 10 days or less.

And so he's trying to figure out ways to not dwell on what he can't do, but trying to fix what he can. And he talked about it very openly. It's not his job to change the culture. It's not his job to change the culture. and that currently the system that these players have been in probably for the last six years has been one that has been, for lack of a better term, comfortable.

And I think to his point, when you give a player an opportunity to be comfortable, Unless you get a real dog who just is going to push themselves outside of something extraordinary, you're going to take that opportunity. He mentioned in his quotes a few weeks back, like, This culture of being able to come in and golf and no more golf.
