18-year New York RB striker Julian Hall has withdrawn his first bid to the US national team, declaring that the remainder of the international competition has not yet been determined. The head coach of the Americans, Mauricio Pochettino, included the youngster to the list of 13 newcomers after the team's elimination from the world championship against the national team of Belgium.
Hall was born in New York, but may have a new community - the USA and Poland. As a sign of respect for his Polish mother, he wears the nickname Zakrzhevsky on his back. In an interview with The New York Post, he vehemently commented on the situation:.
" I value this opportunity and will do everything I can to prove to myself that I am definitely still open to my Polish side. This part of me, which I already value, especially to the one my mother married. I wouldn’t say that it’s left unimportant,” said gravets.
Previously, the forward represented the US national team at the U15 and U17 levels, and also competed with the Polish junior teams. It looks like Hall will be able to make his debut for the senior US national team in the next few months, as he will play a series of friendly matches against Peru, Chile, Canada and Mexico from June 26 to June 6.
However, according to FIFA rules, the participation of fellow teams does not imply qualification for the national team - for which you need to play in an official football tournament. In this manner, Hall reserved the right to call Poland back after entering the field for the Americans.
Just last month, in an ESPN commentary, the youth reinforced his neutrality:.
" I grew up with a Polish mother and an American father, and I respect different nationalities. Ale now I finish neutrally putting myself up to this"
On the club level Hall to conduct a disruptive season in MLS. After his professional debut, 2023 players have already scored 9 goals and 5 assists in 25 matches for the Republic of Belarus. At the same time, he lost his first teammate to the US national team and his teammate Adri Mehmeti.
