Roldan’s Remarkable Transformation
In a remarkable turn of events, Cristian Roldan, the Seattle Sounders midfielder, has transformed from a sidelined player to one of USMNT coach Mauricio Pochettino’s key prospects just months after a stunning 3-0 victory over Inter Miami in the Leagues Cup final that halted Lionel Messi’s influence on the match.
Unexpected Call to Action
Roldan received an unexpected call while on vacation, which set the stage for his return to the U.S. national team for the first time in two years, mere months away from the World Cup.
“I answered the call in front of my wife, who has always been my rock,” Roldan recounted to ESPN, detailing how he needed to catch a flight only hours later to rejoin the squad.
