Christian Press (34), two-time world champion with USA (2015 and 2019) and also an Olympic champion (2020), spoke to ‘ESPN’ about the many serious injuries that have affected soccer players in recent years, such as Catalan Alexia Putellas, English Beth Mead or Dutch Vivianne Miedema . The Catalan, who is back on the pitch, will be able to play this summer’s World Cup in Australia and the United States. Not so two, Arsenal players.
Press herself, a current Angel City player, is also recovering from an injury: “I’m not losing hope of playing in the World Cup, it’s a motivation for everyone. Time is on me but I try to recover as soon as possible because for me it’s a dream of mine to represent my country again at this level,” he said.
Asked if he sees differences in terms of the number of injuries between men’s and women’s soccer and why behind the support that exists whether it is the first case or the second, Press is very clear: “I think the number of injuries that There have been in the last two years in women’s soccer. Mead, Alexia, Miedema… In the major leagues, if that happens to the men’s team, the reaction to help them is immediate, which will be done to the player will be available at the best moment of his career will be immediately.”
