Leeds United head coach Jesse Marsch has hailed Whites and USA star Tyler Adams after the 23-year-old helped Gregg Berhalter’s side progress to the knockout stages of the FIFA World Cup. His abilities are not lost on Marsch, who first came across Adams as a teenager at New York Red Bulls, either.
Jessie Marsh said: “Tyler, for me, when he can play with confidence and intensity and display his athleticism and his intelligence combined, he can be elite. And I knew that before he came to Leeds. And the key for me was just having these kinds of conversations to unearth it more and get him on track and then allow him to be himself. So I don’t want to take any credit for Tyler. I think he deserves all the credit, but the fit here at Leeds has been really good for him and for us, so I think it’s just got him into a place where he’s playing with more confidence and belief in himself than he ever has.”
