Could Brenden Aaronson become the most Important USA Football player at the Qatar World Cup?

As the 2022 Qatar World Cup approaches excitement for the US men's national team, everyone from fans to the media will pick their squad of 26 players who they believe should be on the plane in November. Qatar FIFA World Cup fans to buy England Vs USA Tickets from our website.

With the three extra seats approved by FIFA for this World Cup, it might get a little easier to pick the USMNT lineup if Gregg Berhalter decides to use all 26.

Brenden Aaronson become the most Important USA player at the Qatar World Cup

In 2002 I was accidentally admitted. Not many people would have thought that I would be in the squad, let alone start in the first World Cup match against Portugal, so you never know who the key players will be. But one player we can all agree on and who won't come as a surprise in November is Brenden Aaronson. Mr Silky himself.

The only question surrounding his role is whether he would be better off the bench, or start with the USMNT in Group B matches. In my opinion, this man should start.

Unique talent type

I remember first seeing Brendon play in the 2020 MLS rematch while he was still in the Philadelphia Union. His uninterrupted movement and attack ability immediately caught my attention. Not every game is perfect, but his desire to keep pushing you is impressive.

Fast forward two years and he is now enjoying his great start in the Premier League with Leeds United, arguably the best USMNT player we have at the moment (Jordan Pefok from Union Berlin must also be involved). Admittedly, the USMNT has a lot of injury issues at the moment, but you can't argue that he will be a key player for Qatar. Will he be the most important? I'm not quite sure, but I'll go into more detail later.

Today the World Cup requires a lot more intensity than it did in 2002, and Aaronson seems to make that part seem easy. Combine that with his speed and ball handling, and you can't exclude him from the starting lineup.

He can play anywhere on the offensive line, but also on the 10. That was confirmed by a 3-0 win in a friendly against Morocco that we saw on June 1. His passing is clean and works well with his frontcourt players. Qatar Football World Cup fans to buy Iran Vs USA Tickets from our website.

Aaronson has built up a wealth of experience in major competitions in recent years

We already know his work ethic and dedication in every match, but I have to admit that I am a bit sceptical about his performance in midfield. After that performance, all doubts I had were dispelled.

Take the English Premier League by storm

Playing in the Premier League will only further stimulate Aronson's development. In my opinion, this is the best league in the world and he plays every day not only with his teammates but also with the rest of the league to show why Leeds pays around $30 million for his services.

He works for a great club with a long history in English football and it fits his style perfectly. He has a manager, Jesse Marsch, who believes in him, trusts him and gives him a chance to succeed. Jesse wasted no time playing him from the start in his first two games at Leeds, but why should he?

Aaronson has built up a wealth of experience in major competitions in recent years, from World Cup qualifiers to the Champions League game against RB Salzburg. He does not shy away from a challenge, and you rarely have that mentality at a young age (21).

We all know the saying "he just needs time to get used to the Premier League" and it is true in many cases. For Aaronson, however, it seems that the bigger the stakes, the better his performance.

Another big factor that drove him to settle in England so quickly was that American teammate and New York Red Bulls product Tyler Adams was there as well. Going to a new club in another country in an important World Cup year can be tricky, but for a young player to have a team-mate you know well and get along well off the pitch is underrated.

Aaronson, however, it seems that the bigger the stakes

Looking back on my career, I have had an American teammate in every club outside the US including Lee Nguyen (PSV), Claudio Reyna (Manchester City), Maurice Edu (Rangers), Steve Cherundolo (Hannover) 96) and Michael Orozco (Puebla). Not every situation on the pitch works for me, but off the pitch, it helps a lot.

So, will Aaronson be a key player for the USMNT in Qatar?

Considering how good Brendon has been lately, for me Christian Pulisic has to be the most important player in Qatar.

He will probably wear the captain's armband and we need a good, confident Christian at the World Cup. He didn't bring Chelsea's playing time to the level we've seen in the past, he is a fighter and all the players look up to him but he's a man who can win games for you in his time. Hopefully, things will change.

We have other great players with killer instincts in the attacking third part of the World Cup. Clint Dempsey and Landon Donovan come to mind this time. It must be Pulisic.

From the interview I saw with Christian after qualifying for the World Cup, I could tell he was hungry and excited about Qatar. We need goals and Pulisic has shown that he can score on the biggest podium. Now comes an even bigger test: represent your country at the highest level in our sport. Can he make it to the FIFA World Cup? Qatar FIFA World Cup 2022 fans to buy USA Football World Cup Tickets from our website.

Aaronson and Pulisic will make headlines

The big game against England

If you look at a specific match that has circled on everyone's calendar that the USMNT will be in the group stage in Qatar, the hype will be around November 25 against England where they are in Group B of the second match.

I can imagine that all players, especially those who play in the Premier League, will fight for this. Would it be an advantage to have six players in the EPL? Could be. All I can say is that these players will be confident against the opponents they see every week.

They will know their inclinations and how English players like to play. Mentally I don't think they will lack focus because when they return to their respective clubs they want to do well and they can brag. It's a great game for America. England has never beaten us in a FIFA World Cup match in two attempts. I hope this match continues.

It's only three short months before the USMNT begins their FIFA World Cup journey. With Berhalter's short time with his team before the first game, form and consistency at the club level are crucial.

We all know that a lot of decisions will depend on injuries coming in the last few months, but when you look at this core group of players, I'm optimistic. Aaronson and Pulisic will make headlines. The bottom line is that they all have to be on the pitch, they all have to perform.
