First, congratulations on being named the US player of the year. What does that honor mean to you?
Oh, it’s huge. I mean, when I started out playing I never envisioned this. You dream of getting to this level, but I never thought it’d be possible. Especially coming up in the States, where it’s not easy to get seen playing soccer - so it’s a huge honor. My family and I hold it in the highest regard. It’s definitely a privilege.
You have had a chance to play around with the Brazuca, the new World Cup ball. How does it feel to you?
It feels great. I think Adidas did a great job in terms of really testing up the ball in every way. It plays well on a lot of surfaces and I think the way it feels on your foot is important. I think it’s good for control and it’s good for players who like to dribble. Overall, it’s a really balanced ball.
