Everyone always brings their best every day, so mentally you always have to be sharp just to get a bit of an edge. Everyone's always competing here, trying to get better and doing their best, so it's a great environment." Wolfsburg coach Valerien Ismael, a former Bayern Munich defender, is already impressed. "Orrin is a young, talented attacker who regularly plays well in our U-23 side," Ismael said. "What sets him apart is his incredible pace. He's eager to learn — and still has a lot to learn in order to make it to the very top — but he's a very positive presence and has huge potential. He needs to keep working hard to take the next step."
Starts for Wolfsburg in friendly against Tampa Bay: Wolfsburg escalado: Klinger; Klamt, Jaeckel e Abdat; Herrmann, Stutter, Stolze, Badu e Conde; Reichwein e McKinze Gaines— VfL Wolfsburg Brasil (@WolfsburgBRA) January 8, 2017
Assist Gaines. He made a nice run down the wing, had lots of time and space and made a nice pass to an open runner at the top of the box who scores. 2-0 in the 40th
I only caught from around 80'. He looked fine to good. A couple of good first touches into open areas to use his pace. Didn't really take anyone on. Not sure I would have noticed him if I weren't looking. Oh, he did look really, really fast in the time or two he got to turn it on. It was an ugly game during the spell I caught.

Is McKinze Gaines America's next young Bundesliga breakout? "It's been a great experience playing against players from all over the world at the Florida Cup," he told Four Four Two at Wolfsburg's base at the Ritz-Carlton hotel. "The support has been great from all of our fans. It's been amazing." He is now looking forward to playing in Wolfsburg's second match at the tournament, against Brazilian top-flight team EC Bahia on Thursday at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando. "It's going to be a very intense game," he said. "I actually don't know too much about them but Brazilians are often very technical and they play with a lot of passion. Those two elements combined will make for a very exciting and tough match." Read more at http://www.fourfourtwo.com/us/featu...ga-breakout-usmnt-pulisic#zyjCZplGx5aUhw1x.99
