A glimpse of what is to come was on display on Saturday as the United States Men’s National Team fielded a squad that had some of the best young talent in the player pool.
One of the young stars was Wolfsburg’s Ulysses Llanez. He scored the match-winning goal from the penalty spot. At just 19, his performance and calm nerves on his senior team debut impressed the coaching staff and supporters alike.
Llanez has thrived since joining Wolfsburg’s youth teams. The California native has been in Germany for less than a year but has been a regular in the club’s U-19 squad.
