The game against Wales is very important for the USMNT as they will play again after 9 months. Coach Berhalter begins to prepare the team for the Golden Cup and must make the most of the friendly against Wales. Unfortunately, he will not be able to count on Pulisic because he is injured and that is why it has not yet been decided which player will wear the mythical number 10 jersey.

There are two players who could wear the jersey worn by great players in USMNT history. This shirt is very important as it gives more importance to whoever wears it. Pulisic, who has 10 at Chelsea and USMNT, has repeatedly said that it is a very big responsibility to have to wear that number but that it did not put pressure on him.

The problem for Berhalter is that if he gives the number 10 shirt to a player as young as Gio Reyna, it could hurt him, precisely because of the importance of the number. Likewise Reyna has all the qualities to be able to have the number 10 and do it in the best way. The other player who Berhalter is thinking is McKennie.

The current Juventus player is another star who promises to be one of the best players in the USMNT and who could replace Pulisic in a big way. Although it is only a number, it is very important to know who will have the 10 on their back. Berhalter must decide between Gio Reyna and McKennie for the USMNT match against Wales as he will then be Pulisic again

Finally coach Berhalter decided who will wear the number 10 and that place will be vacant. The USMNT coach believes that no one should take the place of Captain Pulisic and that is why no player will have the number 10 against Wales
