USMNT manager Greg Berhalter has been 'blown away' by Lionel Messi's impact on the MLS.
across all competitions including the MLS. Berhalter hailed Inter Miami’s owners for luring the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner to the USA as he has been pleasantly surprised to see the impact Messi has made on American top-flight soccer.“You have this idea of what it could be, of what MLS is, and then you totally break the mold by getting someone like Messi and taking it to a different level,” Berhalter told the reporters.
“It’s been amazing exposure. … Overall, it’s just blown me away the impact that Lionel Messi can have. And not only him but when you bring Busquets and Alba into it, how it can translate onto the field," he added.Berhalter was in attendance at Inter Miami's Leagues Cup final and following their victory over Nashville, he called up Drake Callender and midfielder Benjamin Cremaschi to the USMNT squad for the two upcoming friendlies Uzbekistan and Oman.
The coach has been particularly impressed with Cremaschi's work rate and the teenager's growth has been apparent this season which has been rewarded with a national team call-up.
