GOAL sat down with Gio Reyna to discuss his reputation, his growth since Qatar and why this World Cup gives him the chance to change the story around him.

The USMNT Brotherhood: A Sanctuary for Talent

For **Gio Reyna**, the **USMNT** locker room isn't just a team; it's a vital support system. His deep bonds with players like **Joe Scally**, whom he followed to Düsseldorf, highlight a comfort and camaraderie essential for his best performances.

More Than Teammates, It's Family

Reyna's relationships within the squad run deep. He's known **Brenden Aaronson** and **Chris Richards** since their youth, while newer faces like **Chris Brady** quickly integrate into the group's lighthearted rivalries, like intense video game sessions. This established rapport is a cornerstone of the team’s collective strength.

**Reyna**, despite his on-field flair, describes himself as a quieter presence off the pitch. He isn't the loudest voice like **Chris Richards**, **Tyler Adams**, or **Weston McKennie**, but he thrives in the unified environment, which he credits for the team's ability to navigate high-pressure tournaments like the **2022 World Cup** and the upcoming **Copa América 2024** and **2026 World Cup**.
