News about Kevin Paredes

USMNT rising star Kevin Paredes has joined Jay-Z's Roc Nation Sports ahead of this summer's Copa America. The 20-year-old Wolfsburg wideman made his debut for the USA senior team last year and was recently named US Soccer's Young Male Player of the Year for 2023. On Tuesday, it was confirmed that Paredes had signed a deal with Roc Nation to join the likes of Kevin De Bruyne and Vinicius Jr. 

The USMNT defeated Trinidad & Tobago 3-0 in Austin, Texas, in the CONCACAF Nations League quarterfinals, with a tumultuous 90 minutes from the United States fusing with a flurry of goals at the right time. The Americans were unable to crack Trinidad's low block, which stifled any offensive hopes alive. Gregg Berhalter said that his team had to respect their opponents, he trotted out a team that had never been used by them before, played Kevin Paredes in his first appearance, and then put Malik Tillman on the wing in the absence of other wingers.

With a pair of friendlies playing in the Midwest, the Second Berhalter Era is set to begin in early September. The roster for those friendlies was revealed today, including a mix of MLS faces as well as a number of returning members of the 'A' Team. With Europe playing Euro 2024 qualifiers, Africa playing AFCON qualifiers, and South America joining the World Cup qualifier, the USA has agreed to play in Minneapolis against Uzbekistan.

Kevin Paredes displayed his advancing capabilities by scoring his first goal in the German Budesliga for Wolfsburg on Saturday. In what was a good finish, the left-back received a clearance from a corner with a low left-footed strike that went through a packed penalty area and into the far corner. Unfortunately, his 90th minute attempt was in vain as his team lost to a narrow 2-1 loss to Werder Bremen.
