SAN JOSE, Costa Rica -- Jurgen Klinsmann has grown impatient with the whining American prospects who fail to earn playing time on their clubs.For every player like teen sensation Christian Pulisic, who broke into Borussia Dortmunds lineup at just 17, there are multiple examples of others who flopped in Europe. The U.S. coach identified members of the under-23 team that failed to qualify for the 2012 London Olympics, citing winger Brek Shea, who made just three Premier League appearances for Stoke during two years in England, and forward Juan Agudelo, who failed to get a work permit and never got into a game for the Potters.Everyone, he knows, must be far better. They must want it more -- like he did when he was a star forward in the 1980s and `90s.We hoped. And we hoped, Klinsmann said. And then they called: The coach doesnt play me. Well, you have to make the coach play you.Sitting on the patio of a hotel restaurant the day before a 4-0 loss to Costa Rica in a World Cup qualifier this past week -- which hugely increased his own job pressure- Klinsmann addressed the topic of player development during a 50-minute sit-down with American reporters. He looked to the future of forwards Bobby Wood and Jordan Morris, calling them potential difference makers.You see a lot of talent not having that inner drive. You see a lot of talents not going to the highest level possible, and you feel for them, Klinsmann said. You feel for them because, well, you put in years of talking, guiding, explaining, videoing, and it hasnt clicked. It hasnt made that difference. And you can go through a palette of players that weve had coming through the last five years that unfortunately were not able to intellectually take that message or messages and make it into a huge career.A World Cup champion with West Germany in 1990, a European champion with Germany six years later and coach of the 2006 German team that reached the World Cup semifinals, Klinsmann was hired five years ago to help impart to Americans the routines of high-level soccer -- what it takes to succeed at the highest level, the daily demands of being the best. He has an American wife and has lived in California since retiring as a player in 1998, giving him perspective on how U.S. soccer is unique.Klinsmann said academics and the desire of parents to have American prospects attend college has hurt player development, frustrating both him and U.S. under-20 coach Tab Ramos. Klinsmann understands the motivation -- his son Jonathan is a goalkeeper at the University of California at Berkeley. He is impatient with those who are distracted by their non-soccer lives.Theyre not going to the next level because they want to go partying, he said. And Tab and I, we go crazy, and said `Why are you settling now? Well, because the parents are happy.When he asks something of a player, and gets the response, Oh, let me call my agent, Klinsmann said his reaction is then: You know what? Conversation over.And with that, Klinsmann clapped his hands twice.But some players do break through.Pulisic, from Hershey, Pennsylvania, and already among the Americans most technically skilled players, was noticed by Dortmund scouts three years ago in Florida. He signed as a 16-year-old, made his debut in January and scored twice in nine league games last season. He has two more Bundesliga goals this season, and he made his Champions League debut.Lynden Gooch, a 20-year-old midfielder from Santa Cruz, California, got noticed by Sunderland when he was with the Santa Cruz Breakers Academy team, traveled to England during time off from school and joined Sunderlands youth system at age 16. He made his first-team debut for the Black Cats in this years Premier League opener and has eight league appearances.I called David Moyes: What is it about the kid? Klinsmann said of his phone call to the Sunderland manager. He remembered how Moyes told him: `Oh my gosh, Jurgen, this kid is hungry. I dont even know how to keep him on the bench.Cameron Carter-Vickers, the 18-year-old son of former NBA guard Howard Carter, grew up in Southend, England, and joined Tottenhams academy system when he was 11. He made his first-team debut this season in the League Cup.Hes pushing. Hes getting there. Hes the future. Hes with the A team there all the time now, Klinsmann said.The best group of American youth players arguably was the team that finished fourth at the 1999 FIFA Under-17 World Championship, a group that included Landon Donovan, DaMarcus Beasley, Kyle Beckerman, Oguchi Onyewu and Bobby Convey.Klinsmann thinks a coach like Moyes or Thomas Tuchel at Dortmund impacts the level these young men reach quickly.You cannot copy-paste it into their environment, because you need a coach that believes in young players, Klinsmann said. You need a coach that says, `We play him maybe 20 games in the second team but them I see that talent, then I bring him up. Nike NBA Jerseys .

BUDAPEST, Hungary -- Nico Rosberg of Mercedes posted by far the fastest lap during the second practice session for the Hungarian Grand Prix on Friday.Teammate Lewis Hamilton was unhurt after crashing sideways into a barrier of rubber tires, Mercedes said. Hamilton was able to drive the car back to the pit lane and later returned to the team garage after a medical checkup.Mercedes said Hamiltons car would be fully stripped to be checked out, but jokingly noted it appears to bounce rather well.Hamilton, who set the pace in the morning practice, also had the fastest time before crashing at turn 11, about 13 minutes into the afternoon session. Rosberg quickly bettered Hamiltons mark with a time of 1 minute, 20.435 seconds, the only driver below 1:21.It was an impressive day for us, performance-wise, Rosberg said. That doesnt necessarily mean well be in such a strong position tomorrow but its very positive. The car is very quick, so a good start to the weekend.Rosbergs time was already 1.585 seconds faster than last years top qualifying time, achieved by Hamilton.Red Bulls Daniel Ricciardo was second, 0.595 behind the championship leader, with Ferraris Sebastian Vettel, the 2015 Hungaroring winner, finishing third.We are more or less where we expected to be, Ricciardo said. We knew it would be close with Ferrari, so if we can keep our nose in front that would be nice.Max Verstappen of Red Bull was fourth and Hamilton, despite completing only four laps before his accident, was fifth.Lewis was caught out by one of the new, unpainted kerbs ... resulting in quite a heavy impact with the barriers, said Paddy Lowe, the technical executive director for Mercedes. The most important thing is that Lewis was unharmed despite the impact. There has been some damage to suspension and a few bodywork elements -- but this will be easily fixed overnight.The Hungaroring is sporting a repaved track and pit lane while several kerbs have been added or upgraded, with track length remaining at 4.38 kilometers (2.72 miles).Veteran drivers like Hamilton and Vettel did not appear keen on the changes beffore the practice sessions.dddddddddddd By late Friday, however, most concerns seemed to have dissipated, Hamiltons mishap notwithstanding.The new track surface isnt massively different, said Ricciardo, who won here in 2014. I was a little bit worried it would lose some of its character, but I think its still much the same.Team officials were also taking the changes in stride and even attributed the faster times to the new setup.We were pleasantly surprised. The track is quite smooth, the kerbs are quite good, said Pat Symonds, chief technical officer with Williams. Were pretty happy with the work thats been done.Symonds added that while there had been talk of blistering in the tires during a European F3 race on the Hungaroring in April on the changed track, even the super-soft tires held up very well today.Ferrari senior engineer Jock Clear said his team had enjoyed reasonably comfortable practice sessions with the tires.We had some fears and theyve not really been founded today, Clear said. The kerbs are smoother ... certainly the kerbs are making a difference on lap time.At the same time, teams did complain about the longest-ever season of 21 races, including a globe-hopping stretch of six races in eight weeks at the end.Williams Symonds said 20 races had been considered the tipping point just a few years back and that employees were starting to prefer staying at team headquarters because of the race schedules toll on family life.I think were way past the tipping point, Symonds said. We cannot ask our personnel to maintain the level of activity. Therefore, were going to look at rotation.Clear agreed with Symonds, saying that people are just very tired and the sport did not have the luxury of using substitutes.Rosberg has 168 points halfway through the season, one point ahead of two-time defending world champion Hamilton. Mercedes has won nine of the first 10 races this season and 41 of the last 48.---Karel Janicek contributed to this report. ' ' '
