USMNT star Tyler Adams ready to lead Bournemouth's European push, details next step in his game
Loving life on and off the pitch at Bournemouth, Tyler Adams is in the perfect spot to keep developing into the USMNT's leader.
USMNT star Tyler Adams heads to Arsenal with Bournemouth on Saturday ( watch live, 7:30am ET, on USA ) as the Cherries aim to start a late-season surge for European qualification. Bournemouth have never qualified for Europe in their history but came close last season, and they currently sit just four points out of the expected European spots with seven games of the Premier League season to go. They're currently on a 11-game unbeaten run in the league, the longest current run and the longest unbeaten run for any team so far this season.
They've also drawn five in a row, as they lead the Premier League in draws (15), and only the top three of Arsenal, Manchester City and Manchester United have lost fewer games than Bournemouth (7) this season. Speaking to Pro Soccer Talk this week, Adams revealed Bournemouth's aims for the remainder of the campaign. "We have a lot of big games left and I think the objective has to be to knock some of the big teams off the chart," Adams said.
"I think for us coming into the season it was obviously very hard to set the same bar, as what we achieved last season that was an unbelievable season with some unbelievable players. But the consistency that we've had now to maintain that level has been really impressive. I think we could do with less draws and a couple more wins obviously to set ourselves in a better position but what's happened has happened and we have a lot of big games left to play.
