More than 10 months after the Reyna family pressured U.S. Soccer Federation staff to give more playing time to Gio Reyna at the World Cup, the team has not yet adopted rules to prevent similar lobbying.
“That’s something that U.S. Soccer leadership is discussing, and as of now, nothing’s been put in place,” coach Gregg Berhalter said Monday, a day ahead of the Americans’ exhibition against Ghana.
Claudio Reyna sent a text message to then-general manager Brian McBride that read: “Our entire family is disgusted, angry, and done with you guys. Don’t expect nice comments from anyone in our family about US Soccer. I’m being transparent to you not like the political clown show of the federation.”“Witnesses reported that Mr. Reyna’s past actions involved attempts to influence decisions by U.S.
Berhalter says the family feud is in the past. The coach had said during a management conference after the tournament that he nearly sent a player home from Qatar for lack of effort during training, remarks clearly about Reyna. A wing midfielder under Berhalter in the past, Reyna played in a central attacking role against Germany, positioned ahead of Yunus Musah and Weston McKennie.
