“It all happened so fast” | Freddy Adu Opens Up About His Rise And Fall And Discusses What’s Next

[@rcgray]

It says a lot that Freddy can talk about his career. I am glad he found some peace and has matured. His story is not over yet! I hope he coaches and passes on his experience to the next generation.

[@JayRuf3438]

Good point. His story is not done yet. Here's hoping to more good things for freddy.

[@khatriyashayk9492]

Freddy speaks the same way he did when he was 14. He is still on that 'bro' zone. If he truly wants to have a solid career he needs to prepare himself but I feel he thinks it will be given to him. Maybe he is financially set for life hence the lack of interest in additional education or crafting anything else.

[@rcgray]

@@khatriyashayk9492 I can see that for sure. I think this is the first step of many. Hopefully, he can figure it out.

[@sponish0]

i love how honest he is, he never tried to blame anyone else for his failures he always takes responsibly and admits it was his fault

[@Flippityflap]

i remember being 10 years old in Amsterdam and this dude made his debut at 15 and all of Europe was talking about him, he was in the news almost daily of football websites and stuff. When he went to Benfica it was kind of a big deal. Sad he didnt make it, seems like a nice guy.

[@andh2627]

Freddy Adu may not have had the career we thought he would have but in those early years, he helped grow and bring eyes to this game. He will always be a part of bringing the game attention in the 2000s. And its not over for Freddy in this game either! There are other ways to stay involved not just as a player. Who knows maybe he will pursue a coaching career?

[@cvelasco7786]

I remember growing up playing soccer in DC (DMV AREA) and he would play on the same fields as my team growing up. Crowds of people would hangout and come to the fields just see him play at like 12/13 years old. He was in Sports Illustrated at like 15, he was all over, and literally exploded onto the soccer scene in US. I would always watch DC UNITED matches when he was involved. He did would he could given his natural talents. ITS NOT EASY TO MAKE IT AS A PROPER PROFESSIONAL. I WAS ALWAYS PROUD TO SEE THE LOCAL BOYS MAKE IT TO THE HIGHEST LEVEL 👏 👏 👏.

[@tokhmi2006]

My heart breaks every time I see him because it reminds me of how there are so many talented people who never realized their potential because of a lack of a mentor, guide, or advisor who truly cared for them. It’s clear Freddie didn’t have that. It’s not his fault - when you’re young, you are prone to errors of judgment, so unless you have a parent or uncle or mentor who cares about your development, you won’t really learn from those errors until it’s too late.

[@davidjean-marie6302]

Freddy didn’t get the protection he needed. The American media made him bigger than life and when he went to Europe, he realized that he wasn’t as exceptional as everyone had told him he was. I grew up in the banlieue of Paris, talents like Adu are pretty common.

[@aeyjay9550]

He got exploited in some ways, but he should have went to a big club in Europe by 15 and developed and trained, he had speed, ball control, but he never truly reached his potential, he relied mostly on natural talent, he was a kid just having fun, unfortunate he didn't have the right people around him, it was also the US culture of soccer at that time, he should of been putting 2, 3 hours extra training daily, proper rehab, healthy diet, preparation, big clubs wanted to sign him early on but they were tryingnto build up MLS, so he kind of got pulled into that lifestyle too early and didn't feel the need to put in the work, sad tale, bottom line is he never truly put in the work, this happens to a lot of players though, he didn't learn the tactical game, watching him play, and I think he just got lazy so it is what it is.

[@IknowMoreThanYou]

@@aeyjay9550 exactly; he stood even amongst the European elite for his age-- he just needed to be in a real program of development instead of in the States

I'm glad to see that Freddy is humble enough to admit he made mistakes with this mentality with his rise to fame. Poor kid at 14 was being compared to the greatest player of all time, I can only imagine how that would blow up his ego. Always wondered how good he could have become if he didn't let the fame get to his head and kept that hunger to keep getting better. He should still be proud of what he accomplished but I see regret on his face.

Here's my take on Adu, the media pushed him up, made him bigger than what he was. He really should not have been playing in Europe considering the talent European players had. Adu was hyped up. He was a casualty of American soccer looking for a star and Adu became a victim of all that unfortunately. Was a good player, yeah, but no way was he a super star. I'm glad he shared his story and i hope the best for him. Great show, we need more of this. Can you talk about the former NASL and what happened that it failed.

[@urbanstocks4628]

No actually he was miles better than any kid his age at the time. He was the best player at the youth world cups BY FAR. Usa just didn’t let him grow. He played good at the man united trials it just wasn’t good enough for him to be treated like a star(he was only 15) but even then he probably would’ve been the best player on Manchester United’s u18 team.

[@MaverickLee11]

I was the biggest advocate and supporter of this guy prior becoming a wonderkid world sensation, after hearing these confessions he deserves everything he got in his professional career. He was literally given everything on a golden plate and chance after chance, including trials at MANCHESTER UNITED, never understood why Man United released him.. now after hearing all these confessions of unprofessionalism, can clearly see why they released him early now. Imagine being a teenager getting trials at Man United and you never stayed behind, never tried to improve, never came to training early etc, just did the minimum needed and think he deserved a contract at Man United. Just looked up his pro record, no wonder its beyond dreadful.. he is the epitome of how the media can make or break you. Never deserved the recognition he got, even the opponents he was performing against were the lowest calibre/age/class/group or players in the world, of course he was going to look better considering everybody else in the US football scene at the time basically had two left feet and 0 pace.

[@urbanstocks4628]

He was actually ahead of kids all over the world at the time not just the USA. He dominated at international tournaments for the USA youth national teams just had the wrong people behind him. This isn’t basketball where if a kid is super athletic, tall, and skillful at 15 we can pretty much predict he will be one of the goats lol but that’s how the us media treated him and it messed him up

Freddy had smoke blown up his ass from the start, he was never physically strong enough and didn’t possess the footballing brain to play at the top level consistently and thats why the top managers never picked him. Rooney played in the premier league at 16, went out partying, drunk and ate like crap and still got it done, reason is because Rooney really was that good and not a hype job. Freddy seems like a lovely guy, people should be honest with him because doing interview acting like he was Ronaldo but didn’t win a World Cup ain’t helping him.

[@aeyjay9550]

But Rooney had more discipline and had top players around him to hold him accountable so he had to prove himself on the pitch, he had a top manager and needed to train hard, work hard. Freddy never did that he was playing in much lower level league and never took it seriously enough, no one there to truly hold him accountable, just underdeveloped talent and when he went to Europe he didn't have the discipline, think about a guy only training twice a week and slacking off in practice that was Freddy Adu, he was never forced to develop.

Freddy Adu was Kenan Thomson all along.

[@paolylo]

The problem from the start was the media hype. Sure he was great at U17 because no 14-year old was as physical as he was at that level and looked amazing against teens way older than him, but fast forward to age 19... he wasn't dominating the MLS like Alphonso Davies did at age 16 or had a more meticulous development stage like Pulisic at 17. He was actually an average young player that played 4 seasons at an inferior league and maybe that wasn't enough to prepare him for the reality of high-level European football. At least someone like Altidore (same age) had a breakout season in the MLS, didn't let disappointing seasons in Europe ruin his entire career (he had 3 full seasons as a regular), and he was still good enough for three World Cup campaigns playing in two.

[@khatriyashayk9492]

Freddy didn't have a professional mindset as he was only 14 and poorly guided. His talent and knowledge of the game didn't develop. He can't blame choosing a move to Monaco as a reason for his journey man career. He was too entitled before moving to Europe, he was his own worst enemy. I always wonder what would have happened if the USMNT would have given him a chance as he brought something raw and special, he could have been our Gio dos Santos, not solid at club level but a beast with the National team.
