Two English Premier League teams, Arsenal and Everton, will find themselves playing soccer in front of an American crowd on Saturday at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore as part of a preseason tour.
Before Christian Pulisic, Weston McKennie and Tyler Adams were sparking bidding wars on the other side of the Atlantic, Europeans were skeptical about American soccer players.
Frank Lampard, Chelsea’s all-time leading goal scorer who now manages Everton, specifically remembers the doubt that followed Donovan’s arrival at Goodison Park on loan in 2010.“A lot of people in England, if I’m honest, were kind of going, ‘Oh, let’s see if he can do it in the Premier League,’” Lampard said. “And he was great.”
“I love Christian. Great kid. Great talent. It was a joy,” he said. The Chelsea legend also said that throughout the years he has noticed something different about American players. “They all have a great application, desire, and you know what I’ve found? Politeness, a real humility. I like that. They work hard.”
Howard said he spoke to Turner throughout the transfer process, saying he saw the same hunger and humility in him that Lampard noted of American players. Turner called Howard “a huge mentor” and said he knows he’s going to have to work for his minutes.
