Pobrecito Freddy
Freddy Adu is complaining about his lack of playing time again. This time though, he's threatening to leave DC United.Freddy believes that his lack of consistent starts is preventing him from being considered for next year's world cup. No Freddy, the thing that is making you not be considered for the national team is that you aren't ready yet. The immaturity demonstrated by these latest outbursts proves this.
The lack of consistent starts is not the only factor in national team coach Bruce Arena's mind. For example, Adu's DC United teammate Santino Quaranta only started 13 games this season, one less than Adu's 14. Despite this, Quaranta has regular appearances with the national team.
Adu's 14 games is out of a total of 25 games. He was only available for 25 games because he was playing with the under-21 national team. Given that he was playing international games, it is hard to say that he hasn't been given the chance to be seen by the people that run the senior national squad.
It is also worth pointing out, that despite his not starting, he played in every one of those 25 DC United games.
I admired Adu when he played his first games for DC United. Unfortunately, he read too many of his own press clippings and apparently thinks he's the second coming of Pele. It looks more like he's the next Paul Gascoigne.
Do zobaczena. Hasta la proxima.
