RISING | Weston McKennie: Working Hard for The Community

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 ก.ค. 2018
- Having learned the game while his father was stationed at Ramstein Air Base in Germany, Weston McKennie fortuitously met U.S. internationals Landon Donovan and Carlos Bocanegra during the MNT's visit in 2006. Spurred to follow in their footsteps, McKennie has risen to become a breakout star for Bundesliga side FC Schalke and emerging prospect in the midfield for the U.S. Mens National Team.

Now he’s officially a Juventus player. The first American to ever play for Juventus, this man makes me proud 🇺🇸
So proud he‘s playing for us ⚽️ here at schalke
I'm from Mexico. But I'm very glad that Americans are really getting into the game. Seeing the youth take over the sport is great, can't wait to see these guys play against Mexico and give a good fight. Much love to my American brothers and sisters 🇲🇽❤️🇺🇸
mexicans, argentinians, colombians are americans too (american continent) not only the gringos
Same here!
I'm a solid two months late but big respect to you.
@@dantmagu I know that fool. In Spanish I would say gringos or Estadounidense. But the English language is already too influential globally that it's difficult to transition away from that point.
Respect ✊ 🇺🇸❤️🇲🇽
Welcome to our JUVE family WESTON. ⚽️🇺🇸🇮🇹🤍🖤
Schalke 💙
Dustin´s T&G just gonna leave this here 💛🖤💛🖤
Danny Stewart I hate black yellow
Juve 🖤 🤍
Whos here after he signed for juve?
Yeah
Wasn't it a loan deal
This kid is gunna go places. Love his mentality.
To liverpool
Chris Long i sure hope
yeah now at juventus ❤️
Juventus baby 🔥
German here. I've watched him last season and I am very excited about him.He plays like a 28 year old,full of confidence and with a strong mentality. And he has all the necessary skills. He and Pulisic will be key players for the USMNT for the next 12 years.
More of these videos please. USA fans need to know the next generation
way of the intercepting fist they have like 12 of them on their page available right now just subscribe to them
vilare Tolaquinta I am and already commented on all of them. Thanks anyway.
McKennie will be playing in the champions league next season. I can't wait.
And he made the goal vs Moskau:D
Yes , with Juventus ...
And it comes true as Juventus signs him !
Well your right
From the few times I've seen him on the pitch, I absolutely love what Weston brings on the pitch. Plays with so much passion and plays for the crest unlike all these other older guys who forgot the meaning of playing for ones country. He is also very technically gifted and can't wait for the future years
Weston is easily top 2 prospects next to Pulisic
Captain Cosmo He may end up more successful imo as he has a lot less pressure put on him.
He’s better than Pulisic
And me too
Even though he’s unproven, I think Josh Sargent is possibly our greatest prospect. I have a really good feeling about him. can’t wait till August to see him play. Hopefully he starts.
bob saget he looks like a promising player that can reach big heights in the future
Love this guy! He will definitely shine even brighter!
Schalke do such a great job developing players Sane Goretzka Draxler to name a few hope this applies to McKinnie as well
vaporterra don't forget özil and neuer or rakitic
And they always end up in bigger club
Aziz abdiwali you’re right. Now Mckennie is at Juventus.
Der Junge wird noch ein Goldesel für Schalke. So eine Qualität mit so einem Alter
Bis wann hat er Vertrag? Ausstiegsklausel?
hurtig heinz er hat seinen Vertrag bis 2024 verlängert
We need more US players in the Bundesliga. Their mentality and their personality is awesome. 🇩🇪🇺🇸❤️
Watching these videos makes me really excited for the future of our national team. Alot of really young players playing for good clubs in Europe
Weston... you’re the man! Love your story from playing rb to being a beast for Schalke 04 n USMNT. Keep doing what you’re doing
Yes, our future is bright with Pulisic, McKennie, Sargent, Weah, Carleton... but we are NOWHERE NEAR teams like Germany, Brazil, France, Spain, Italy, who have groups of kids like this year after year.
People keep talking about a World Cup in 8 years don't seem to realize 1/2 of France's team that just won the World Cup will still be on their team in 8 years.
He saved us yesterday at Champions League, WE WON !!! Thank you Weston and "Glück Auf Schalke" !!!!
Love that he's playing for us. In my dreams he'll be our De Rossi, playing for us forever :) Certainly does sound like he loves Schalke as much as we, the fans, do.
Benvenuto alla Juventus ⚪ ⚫ 💪 🇮🇹
I’m from Los Angeles, parent’s are from Mexico, so I’ve always rooted for the Mexican National team and it’s soccer league, but seeing all these new rising stars and the MLS expanding more and more has got me rooting for the US and being an #LAFC fan. Keep going going US Soccer! It can only keep getting better and better.
From Gelsenkirchen to Turin. Quite a raise.
Football(soccer) is the best sport in the world no cap
I hope this is me one day
M Parfait man I hope so too, and look forward to you repping USMNT someday
Stay humble and hungry like these kids and there’s no ceiling
M Parfait 👌🏽👌🏽
Hope so too man!! Keep at it!!!
hopefully you can make your Dream come true :)
now this kid is playing with the greatest footballer of all time Cristiano Ronaldo
wym? he's not playing with messi
@@venomax no Ronaldo is the best
💙
So glad that you are playing at Schalke! Great mentality, positive vibe and so much fun top Watch! Keep it up ! Glück Auf!
Amazing how much mentality plays into an athlete's ability to become professional. After watching a few of these breakout videos, it's astounding how many of these players had never even kicked a ball until they were around 5 or 6, but once they got on the pitch they immediately screamed talent.
Great Lifestory. He´s is a good lad!
7:12 That shot tho
Amazing Naldo 😎 the king
Weston is a kind player that play through tough times no matter what, for 90 minutes , dude is bouncing around the pitch. U could barely see or feel him tired
by far my favorite rising video
One of the talented defensive midfielders in the Bundesliga. Great perspective for US Soccer. Congrats!
Who’s here after he scored against Barca
What good kid!!!! Level headed and will continue to rise!
The look on his dad's face when watching his debut match is everything ❤️
That coaches English is pretty damn good
next generation of soccer right here!💪🏻
Weston McKennie ❤
As a Schalke Fan who just watched "Schalke 04 - Werder Bremen", despite losing Weston is and was one of the best players the last weeks. Great boy!
This dude is preety great ball handle with proper ball control n he's never gona quit until he finishes with u.
I see you little bro. I'm so proud of you! Keep it up. I'll see you soon. 😘
Respect!
Weston is the soccer man of the year all over the world
What a guy 😭
Weston is skilful n very high concentrated with winning.
I’m keeping my eye on this Kid. Weston the skies the limit
HIs mom though! 3:19
ikr
Our boy💪
I wonder how proud his dad must have been watching his debut. Must have been nerve wracking :-)
He needs to fight for his spot
Great kid. Also, Sergino Dest is an up-in-comer we need.
Let’s gooo
with goretzka and meyer gone now is his moment. needs to step up into that midfield and show he can hold a regular spot
violetchevre With Mascarell, Serdar and Bentaleb it's not gotten much easier for him, but I still think he's gonna make his games and will soon play more regularly.
Gelsenkirchen 💙
The fact that I played with him and he’s in Germany and I’m on the toilet at my moms house taking a shit really gets to me but damn good shit west proud of you brotha
Great story
congrats to the homie!
Mckinnie is a superstar without a doubt
This Weston is powerful
Real good player
Schalke ist der geilste Club der Welt ! Glück Auf !
❤️❤️❤️
2026 hype train.
John Pablo 2022
I know I can’t wait for 2026. I want to go to a game. I’m from New York so maybe there or Canada for the World Cup
It's awesome. I went as a kid to two games in 94. Can't wait to go again.
bulky spud it’s being speculated that you guys will have the finals. Im live in LA and apparently we have the opening match
Mexico and Canada only have a few group games ... it'S mosty an US World Cup.
Very high confident in the pitch anytime u see him.
I wouldn't have thought he was mixed, he doesn't look light enough, wow
schalke: best club weston:best player love them :D
I hope he scores soon for FC SCHALKE 04⭕⚪♥️
Imagine his ball control n touches, very accurate
Glück auf Weston! 🔵⚪
and now he plays for the best team in italy 🤟🏽
Welcome to Juve⚪ ⚫
Let’s go USA 🇺🇸 🔥🔥
Pulisic, McKennie, Weah, Sargent . .. the future is bright.
LL Cool Ray America’s golden soccer generation. Their the great American hope.
I will be a center back for them one day 😤💪
Sad to see Schalke relegated. Hopefully a new American can bring them back to the first division.
A lot of great American players are learning the game in the Bundesliga. We really got to thank germany for developing our players.
Guter Junge der Weston
Great. Now all we need is a coach.
welcome to juventus
United States is really owning this game n league nowadays, guys r stepping up for real, they be what is not happening. They can do it..
Can anyone please tell me the name of the song in the intro?
He was at fort lee? Hell yea man rep Petersburg man
He is fun to watch, is a lot of both white n black players coming out nowadays with a lot of heart n skill just to dominate nowadays mostly in 2026..
con razon la esencia de dos razas humanas I love it
I’m really happy that they’re phasing out the guys that isn’t qualify and making. After two coaches being fired in starting to think that it was really the locker room that was the problem
The way Weston is being worship outside America is never seen before
It’s crazy how many young talents the US have. Best thing to do with those talents is get them as far away from the mls as possible
Wes has the potential to be a really good player. Probably won't have the status of Donovan in the USA. Even though he was pretty bad everywhere in Europe
Now he’s gonna play with CR7
that off white shirt is sick
This year I bet u he's Gona go one of the highest paid player all over the world
Welcome bro 🔴⚪️🔴⚪️
Bro u need to take ur spot in this 2026 world cup n show the world that ur world class
That was my coach
So close to beating Man city in the First UEFA League game
As for me all my American friends with African history that goes as close as their parents, or all my latino/ Hispanic or white American friends with European décents know or play soccer if you weren’t aware there are many Africans and Latinos and Europeans here we have enough people playing stop being ignorant saying we need more kids we don’t we need better coaches
post kante?
