Joe Scully is only 21 years old, but with 85 appearances (three goals and three assists) in all competitions for Bundesliga side Borussia Mönchenglad**, including league, cup and European competitions, Scully has already shown the performance and behaviour of a veteran. In addition, after spending three years with Borussia Mönchenglad**, Scully has recently been linked with several Premier League sides as well as Serie A giants. According to ESPN, Newcastle United, Fulham, Bournemouth and Italian giants AC Milan have all expressed interest in the right-back.
On the one hand, such reports may sound like a deliberate name put on by the agent in order to raise the profile of his clients, when in fact it is completely impossible to make a transfer with only 24 hours left in the winter transfer window. But on the other hand, any club looking to strengthen the right-back position would probably be wise to take a thorough look at Scully.
All players will see these rumours," Scully told the transfer market at Tuesday's roundtable. "When you see other teams interested in you, it gives you confidence. So, obviously, you're going to see these messages; Nowadays, there is nowhere to hide on social **. It makes me better in the next game, but when you're playing, it's not about 'oh, this team is watching,' it's just about the game. ”
Together with Joe Scully – the most valuable player on the U.S. men's soccer.
Joe Scully: "I'm feeling some pressure at Borussia Mönchenglad" There's no doubt that Scully has kept his focus this season. Borussia Mönchenglad are currently undergoing a rebuild, bringing in a new manager, Gerardo Seone, and several key players leaving. "I'm one of the longest-serving players in the team right now," Scully said. 'Especially after we got rid of a lot of players this summer. I felt some pressure because people expected me to know more about the game than I was my age, but I didn't play as many games as I did. ”
In fact, Scully has become a key defensive player for Borussia Mönchenglad**, who currently sits second in the Bundesliga with 910 defensive interceptions, according to Wyscout. According to Bundesligacom stats, Scully ranks 78th among all Bundesliga players with 996 high-intensity runs. This season, Scully finished with 179The 6km distance was second in second place in Borussia Mönchenglad** and third with 148 wins. It is therefore no surprise that Sculli has been linked with other European clubs. Meanwhile, despite playing in a more competitive league game, Scully remains the second choice for the U.S. men's soccer team at right-back, behind Serginho Dest.
When you play every game at club and then you go to the national team and you don't play, it's difficult,' said Scully. 'No player wants to sit on the bench and every player wants to play. ...I've played in every game in the Bundesliga and the players in the Bundesliga are stronger than the players in the Concacaf League, so I'm not scared or nervous about that. With Dest suspended for the Nations League final, Scully will undoubtedly get his chance in March and perhaps attract more attention once the summer transfer window opens.
