Lindsey Horan (30), one of the few ‘veterans’ left in the re-election of United Statess, he has yet to have his best international tournament at the Paris Games. As a result, criticism of the Olympique Lyon midfielder, who has an enviable individual and collective record, intensified.
Yesterday, in a press conference, after the United States won the final against Brazil (1-0), Emma Hayes gave an emotional speech in defense of Horan that made the soccer player cry. The American coach spoke exclusively for three minutes about the player, thanking him for his words.
Hayes said he wants to remember, above all else, the transcendental role Horan plays on and off the field of play. “He is a leader who does a great job off the field, in his communication with the younger players, calming their nerves or making them gain confidence. It makes my job easier because he is firm in everything, but there is also confidence.
Hayes added that “I am delighted by the gold she won because she deserves it and she has not always had the recognition that I think she deserves. It is an honor for me to work with her.” After the speech, Horan began to cry and Hayes gave him a loving hug. “Don’t ask me,” Horan joked.
