There are things you have to look at with those world-class players, but at the end of the day, they're not superheroes. They're still human.
Quote by -DeAndre Yedlin
Everybody tells me they don't know how I have so much energy, and I think people feed off that, which is great.
Quote by -DeAndre Yedlin
Life in Newcastle has been a lot more similar to life in Seattle, which has been great. The city is relaxed but, just like Seattle, Newcastle's passion for their team is second to none. You get recognized walking down the street or when you're around town.
Quote by -DeAndre Yedlin
If I had grown earlier, maybe I would have stuck with football. Maybe. But I was just too small. I was quick, I could outrun people, but if anyone ever got a hand on me, I was done.
Quote by -DeAndre Yedlin
I think one of the biggest things is I wasn't spoiled as a kid. I got what I needed. I didn't always get what I wanted. But it's good to have what you need.
Quote by -DeAndre Yedlin
It's no secret that I think that MLS is a top five, top six league in the world but they're not the top league.
Quote by -DeAndre Yedlin
Confidence is a funny thing, and sometimes that's all you need is just that little bit to elevate you to the next level.
Quote by -DeAndre Yedlin
Billy Jones, positionally, is unbelievable. He's not the fastest guy but he makes up for it by being positionally sound, so I really tried to focus and absorb where he would be in certain situations and just tried to add that in my game.
Quote by -DeAndre Yedlin
For me, that's the biggest thing, if something holds me back it's my mental game so I really tried to focus on that and just worked on that.
Quote by -DeAndre Yedlin
Klinsmann should be remembered as a great coach; I don't think a lot of people see it, but as players, we really appreciate what he did for America soccer. He opened American soccer up. He gave it a lot more variety of players. You see German-Americans and Mexican-Americans, and you see the guys that were born in America.
Quote by -DeAndre Yedlin
I think if you put a timeframe on things, you can start rushing things and getting away from the goals, so I try to take it day by day and make sure I keep improving.
Quote by -DeAndre Yedlin
Seattle was good for me. I was very comfortable there - not comfortable in terms of it was too easy, but I was at home, I was with my family and friends. It was a great life. I was home. But I think, for me, when I get too comfortable with the lifestyle and everything, I feel that my performances, my focus can go down.
Quote by -DeAndre Yedlin
The fans just see what's going on on the field, but there's a lot more that goes into it behind the scenes.
Quote by -DeAndre Yedlin
In the Premier League a little half a second can punish you and you just have to be focused for all 90 or 95 minutes, whatever it may be.
Quote by -DeAndre Yedlin
It's a league that you really have to get used to. If you're coming from another one, it's a tough league. Getting the experience playing in a Premier League team and getting hopefully consistent games will be huge for me.
Quote by -DeAndre Yedlin
I think every player aspires to challenge themselves against the very best and that's what I'm hoping to do.
Quote by -DeAndre Yedlin
When you're the younger guy, you're kind of only looking after yourself. Obviously you have to be a bit selfish in terms of what you're doing. But when you're the older guy you have to look out for the younger guys as well. If they're making mistakes, they need help, then you help them.
Quote by -DeAndre Yedlin
When I made the decision to go to Europe, a lot of people questioned it. The first six months I was there even I was questioning it, but I think I learned a lot more about myself in that six months than I have my whole life.
Quote by -DeAndre Yedlin
Obviously when you challenge yourself you learn a lot about yourself, and ultimately you're going to get better in whatever field.
Quote by -DeAndre Yedlin
I think positionally I've improved. One vs. one I feel more comfortable. I knew that was going to come - obviously that's the kind of thing that comes with experience.
Quote by -DeAndre Yedlin
Obviously you have to take it the right way, keep your head down, be humble. But I think if you're in an environment where you're challenging yourself, you're only going to improve. So that's honestly what I tried to do when I went to Europe.
Quote by -DeAndre Yedlin
I've always been fast, it's God-given talent. I just try and use that to my advantage, but I'm learning more and more positionally so I don't have to rely on my pace so much.
Quote by -DeAndre Yedlin
Every international career is going to come to an end you're going to pass it down to the younger generation. Every career comes to that point.
Quote by -DeAndre Yedlin
For me, I want to win the World Cup. If that's not the goal then I don't think you should be playing.
Quote by -DeAndre Yedlin
The Premier League is one of the top leagues in the world and I'm a guy that likes to challenge myself, so just to be able to practice against those types of players and play against them every weekend is a dream come true.
Quote by -DeAndre Yedlin
Usually, when I'm in the 3-5-2, it's at the end of the game, in the 80th minute, where I'm really just attacking.
Quote by -DeAndre Yedlin
As a wing back, when you get the ball wide, you usually don't have any help out wide. You have to be pretty good on your own out there.
Quote by -DeAndre Yedlin
At fullback you have a little bit more defensive responsibility. You have to help out with your center backs a little bit more. As a wing back, you can be a little bit more aggressive with getting forward.
Quote by -DeAndre Yedlin
I think the fact people still don't realise why people are taking a knee and saying 'Black Lives Matter,' people are being so close-minded to the fact that no one is disrespecting the flag, nobody is saying all lives don't matter.
Quote by -DeAndre Yedlin
There's no amount of money that can make me shut up about something I think is wrong.
Quote by -DeAndre Yedlin
My grandfather, my grandmother especially, I have a whole family of activists, they've always told me to stand up for what I believe in.
