Gregg Berhalter has been in Europe for the last eight days and spoken with 25 USMNT players in the region, including Christian Pulisic.

Berhalter said he wanted to get a sense of the future of the team while setting a tone for the larger group.  

Berhalter said that "it's the first time I've really sat down and talked to [Pulisic] and heard his feelings about soccer and his ideas about the game...it was a very productive conversation. He's doing a fantastic job at Dortmund. At the moment, it hasn't been going the best for him, and that's when guys can really show their qualities, how they endure during times like this."

Berhalter makes his debut as USMNT manager in January.
