The Covid-19 has swept the Valencian dressing room at this end of the campaign, especially in the international ones. Neither Correia nor Maxi Gomez nor Cillessen have traveled with their national teams for their respective tournaments and Guedes remains isolated at his home until he overcomes the illness to be able to join Portugal. However, Yunus Musah has got rid of that 'sieve' and at 18 he will play his first international final.
The United States beat Honduras in the semifinals of the Concacaf Nations League and the first place will be played against Mexico. Yunus did not have minutes in that match, but he hopes to participate in the final given the continuity that Gregg Berhalter has always given him to date. The Valencian player said in The Athletic that he believes they are "a great team that aspires to do great things" and trusts that the achievement of the title is "the beginning of something great, of qualifying for the 2022 World Cup after not being in 2018."
Yunus's season has not been easy at all, because after a spectacular breakthrough with the first team settling as a starter, the second half of the year was practically unnoticed. The footballer knows that his level was not quite good, but now with the United States he takes this tournament as a way to renew energy. Without going any further, as soon as he has minutes in an official game he will be definitively linked to the United States.
That situation could occur against Mexico in the final next Sunday, which will also be played in the United States, the country where he was born. Yunus admits that returning home has been very emotional since he was not in the country of the dollar practically since he was born, for that reason he has admitted that as soon as he has some time he will want to discover 100% his origins: "I have not returned to New York since I was born, so I'll stay there, then I'll see where I was born and get to know the area. "
