Emma Hayes (47) is where he always wanted to be, in the bank USA After a long and successful period in Chelseawhich he left in May to cross the ocean. The English coach won Olympic gold in Paris this summer. That’s what it’s called reaching out and kissing the saint. However, that was not the purpose of his arrival. “I like to build,” he admitted in a long interview with ‘The Guardian’, where he said that what he likes most is having a long-term project in his hands where he has to manage a generational change.
And, without Megan Rapinoe, Lindsey Horan and Alex Morgan, three heavyweights in the team and three veterans who in recent months have announced their international retirement, we must put together a very young selection that should be the new victories lost in the United States. just recently. They have been the best in the world for years and Hayes’ mission is to make them so again.
“Developing a strategy for 2027 (the end of his contract) is exciting. Thinking about how to implement the game model through our youth is exciting. I have time to do it. You often don’t have time to implement things, and I’m a builder”, said. “When I arrived in June, I saw that the United States was miles behind the top five teams in the Olympics. This is the gap between Spain and the United States (stretches arms). So I thought: ‘We have to I close this gap.’ “.
If leaving Alex Morgan and other veterans was difficult, so was dealing with the fallout from the youthful mistakes of players like Korbin Albert, who posted homophobic messages on social media, including one directed at Megan Rapinoe. “In the United States, the political and religious divide means that there will always be different opinions in the locker room, but the main thing is respect and understanding what our responsibilities are when we wear the jersey. I know a lot of people. I was annoyed, but I couldn’t give them all the answers they were probably looking for when I ran into something that I didn’t know much about.
