ORLANDO, Fla. -- DeAndre Yedlin wants to be the U.S. soccer team's "Energizer Bunny" and believes his time with Rafa Benitez at Newcastle has taken his game to another level.
His bursts from right back can stretch defenses. His pace helps him return to his defensive spot and disrupt opposing attackers.
"Everybody tells me they don't know how I have so much energy, and I think people feed off that, which is great," he said this weekend ahead of Tuesday's World Cup qualifier at Trinidad and Tobago.
The Americans would clinch their eighth-straight World Cup berth with a win and even a draw would probably suffice, due to a superior goal difference.
