  • Gelandang 22 tahun tersebut dipinjam dari Schalke dengan kewajiban tebus 18 juta euro.
  • Berikut lima hal menarik tentang Weston McKennie yang dirangkum Skor.id.

SKOR.id - Weston McKennie telah tiba di Turin dan siap melakukan tes medis di JMedical, Jumat (28/8/2020).

Gelandang muda Schalke itu dianggap pantas untuk memenuhi keinginan pelatih Juventus, Andrea Pirlo, yang fokus memperkuat lini tengah.

Pemain 22 tahun itu memiliki kemampuan luar biasa dalam adaptasi dengan beragam posisi di sektor tengah.

Juventus meminjamnya dengan biaya sewa 3,5 juta euro (sekitar Rp60,6 miliar) dan kewajiban tebus 18 juta euro.

 

Berikut lima hal menarik tentang pemain keturunan Amerika Serikat tersebut.

1. Anak tentara

Weston McKennie, lahir di Little Elm, Texas, pada 28 Agustus 1998. Pada usia 6 tahun, ia pindah ke Jerman mengikuti sang ayah yang bertugas di markas militer Amerika Serikat Ramstein. 

Selama tiga tahun, ia belajar sepak bola di FC Phoenix Otterbach. Ketika keluarganya kembali ke Negeri Paman Sam, bocah sembilan tahun tersebut melanjutkan ke akademi FC Dallas.

2. Gelandang Serbabisa

Weston McKennie memiliki fisik tangguh dan dinamis, serta mampu mengisi beragam peran di lini tengah. Kualitas ini membuatnya direkrut FC Schalke pada 2016.

“Ia dapat bermain di depan pertahanan atau belakang penyerang, di pusat lini tengah dengan tiga atau empat pemain,” ujar mantan pelatihnya, Domenico Tedesco.

Praktis ini akan memudahkan Andrea Pirlo ketika ada gelandang lain yang cedera.

Bersama Die Knappen, McKennie sudah bermain di 100 laga dan mencetak lima gol. Ia membela tim nasional Amerika Serikat di 19 pertandingan dan enam gol.

3. Penggemar Harry Potter

Weston McKennie merupakan penggemar berat Harry Potter. Ketika akan bertemu Borussia Dortmund di Signal Iduna Park, ia pernah berkata, “Dortmund itu seperti Dia yang Namanya Tak Boleh Disebut!”.

Ya, pesepak bola tersebut mengibaratkan musuh bebuyutan Schalke itu seperti Voldermort, tokoh jahat di novel Harry Potter.

4. Sahabat Christian Pulisic

Dalam wawancara dengan Sport Illustrated, Weston McKennie mengaku kalau ia berteman akrab dengan winger Chelsea, Christian Pulisic.

Perkenalan pertama mereka terjadi di usia 13 tahun ketika bermain untuk timnas AS junior. Sejak itu, mereka berkomunikasi intens meski membela tim yang berbeda, termasuk saat keduanya merumput di Liga Jerman.

McKennie harus menyingkirkan rasa persahabatan dengan Pulisic ketika Schalke bertarung lawan Dortmund.

5. Pita untuk George Floyd

Kasus terbunuhnya George Floyd oleh polisi Minneapolis membetot perhatian dunia.

Weston McKennie turut menyuarakan protesnya lewat pita di lengan yang dikenakan saat laga kandang versus Werder Bremen. Ia menulis ‘Keadilan untuk George Floyd’.

Sontak ia menjadi sensasi di Twitter ketika ada yang mengunggah fotonya di platform media sosial itu.
