Despite his position among the best attackers in the history of the game, the Liberian George Wea was unable to participate in the World Cup, but his name will be among those present in the Qatar 2022 finals through his son Tim, who defends the colors of the United States and not his mother country.
The 22 -year -old wing is among the most promising talents in the US -aspiring US squad for a surprise in the second group that brings it in England, Wales and Iran.
Wahy, the son, told reporters: My father wanted to obtain the opportunity to participate in the World Cup in the colors of his country, but he did not fulfill this desire. Now, he lives (the experience of participation) to some extent.
12 years ago, he was ten years old when his father, the current president of Liberia, was attended by a guest of the 2010 World Cup final to watch Andres Iniesta gives Spain its first world title at the expense of the Netherlands with an extra time.
Wahy, the son, touched on this experience in an interview with Agence France Presse from the American national team camp in Doha, saying: Just watching that (the final), and watching all my favorite players on the field, this was a dream that turns into reality.
And the French star of the French Lille continued: To be in this situation now, this is a crazy matter, somewhat Serial. I think that when you are at the site I am now, don’t really realize how lucky you are.
This is something that we have been working for a long time. What a wonderful feeling to be here, frankly, I haven’t understood it yet.
Wali, who can play as a traditional wing or as a retreating suite, hopes that this participation will be crowned by scoring a goal, and it is better to be against the most prominent competitor for his team in the second group, the English national team on the current 25.
He explained: I will not lie. The whole world is appreciated by England.
I am appreciating England with the players you have, the talent you have, the date it has, it is definitely a big thing when it registered against a similar team. But it is the World Cup and I will accept a goal against anyone.
At an average age of about 25 years, the United States has one of the smallest formations in the World Cup, but he refused to talk about the possibility of the team being affected by the lack of experience, citing what some of its colleagues gained due to their defense of the colors of the European club elite.
He said: I now feel, in the situation that football has reached, that age is just a number. Some of the best players in the world have not even reached their twenty -fourth year.
Wea, who decided to defend the colors of the United States despite offers presented to him from his country of origin, Liberia and his mother, Jamaica and even France, said: On the individual level, we all have our own experiences, and we all bring our maturity to the team, I feel that when we all meet, we offer our own level of Ripening.
He saw that: Although we are young (age), we are not thinking. It is not an immature group at all. It is a group of young men who know what they want.
We are all thirsty and we look forward to start..
