US Midfield Focus: Adams and McKennie

Former USMNT midfielder Maurice Edu expects Tyler Adams and Weston McKennie to start together in midfield against Germany, potentially replacing the pairing that struggled against Senegal. Edu notes that McKennie's energy and Adams' leadership create a balanced partnership that can control the tempo of matches.

Adams and McKennie were part of the praised midfield trio at the last World Cup with Yunus Musah. Their understanding and ability to cover ground makes them valuable assets, according to Edu. The former player believes their complementary styles - Adams' demanding nature and McKennie's leadership by example - could be key to the US team's success in the upcoming tournament. tbzikra.org
