Ricardo Pepi is an absolute player of the United States national team, despite being Mexican. The player grew up in the American country and therefore can defend the colors of Gregg Berhalter's team. The big reason is that the player decided to respect the process of the national team that saw him grow up and certainly according to Jose Ramon Fernandez of ESPN, he did not receive the treatment expected by Martino and company.

According to the Mexican communicator, the player was looking for a trial period for the Mexican national team, but the current coach flatly refused and in the face of the various offers that the U.S. national team had for his future, he preferred to accept the team's call and now he is one of the big bets for the next few years.

What luxuries did the U.S. offer Pepi?

The big difference in the proposals of both teams was precisely the guarantees offered by the American soccer federation. The player would have scholarship in universities, salary and be involved in several World Cup processes and international competitions.
