Klinsmann Bigs Up Jozy

Juren Klinsmann says that scoring flop Jozy Altidore will find his form again.

Klinsmann was speaking after the United States beat Turkey 2-1 although Altidore has not found the net in 2014. And its because of his lack of finding the net that Klinsmann was questioned over his decision to include Altidore in the World Cup squad rather than Landon Donovan.

But the USA boss says that the striker made a nuisance of himself for the Turkey defence and is sure that his scoring touch will soon return.

‘What we all wish is obviously he puts the ball in the net. I was joking with him about that before the game,’ said Klinsmann in the post-game press conference after watching goals from Fabian Johnson and Clint Dempsey earn his side the points.

‘We’re waiting for it. I wouldn’t mind if the goal comes against Ghana right away.

‘No, it is the Jozy we want to see. He will kind of sooner or later break through with goals. You got to work for it and you’ve got to stay hungry and grind it out and sooner or later it’s time and boom the ball is in the net.’
