NEW YORK - American soccer writer Brent Douglas abandoned his Christian Pulisic article about the recent injury setback of the Chelsea Player to focus his efforts on building the legend of Gio Reyna.

Titling his article, “The Future King: Gio Reyna,” Douglas waxed rhapsodic about the 18 year old after watching a replay of his goal scored on the 4th of February 2020.

“This young man has the potential to lead the United States into a new level of glory,” stated Douglas as he copied the words he previously wrote for Pulisic over to the Reyna article.

“In his feet lie the manifest destiny that will propel the United States into pure global footballing dominance.”

With a literary hook now written that is destined to be utilized as an enlarged quote in the piece, Douglas focused on finding out all the information he could about the player that he didn’t really know much about until his wondergoal against Bremen.

“I knew he was the son of Claudio,” stated Douglas. “But what I didn’t know is that the United States will win the world cup in a few years with his leadership. LONG LIVE THE NEW GREAT HOPE OF THE UNITED STATES, again.”

Douglas tried to temper his excitement somewhat as he teased his upcoming piece on Reyna by tweeting, “Has the United States found the new Pele, Messi or Ronaldo?”

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as the next United States youth international that scores in Europe will also receive this treatment.
