The reasons why Weston McKennie is happier than ever

Weston McKennie is enjoying being part of an exciting new generation of American talents. After going through the FC Dallas academy, then joining FC Schalke 04 in the Bundesliga and recently signing a contract with Juventus, one of the most important teams in the world, McKennie is now focused on his role as leader in the national team.

The US team alongside McKennie include promises such as Chelsea's Christian Pulisic, Borussia Dortmund's Giovanni Reyna, Red Bull Salzburg's Tyler Adams, and Barcelona's Sergiño Dest and Konrad de la Fuente.

The former Schalke is trying to obtain as much knowledge as he possibly can from that the former Italian and world soccer star. Andrea Pirlo has played for three of the biggest Italian clubs: Juventus, Foot-Ball Club Internazionale de Milan and AC Milan.

McKennie, before reaching Serie A, had stated to the media that his goal and his dream was to play on Premier League, the best league in the world, according to him. Despite not having achieved it, he is satisfied to had come to a team full of stars like Cristiano Ronaldo or Paulo Dybala. The young American confessed that it was amazing and extraordinary to get into the locker room and see the teammates with whom he would share the squad.
