[@victorwhy]

obviously this is a highlight video, but it looks like he has everything. athleticism, passing, tackling, and most importantly technical and good on the ball

[@SFMEDITS]

yeah no doubt. would love for him to be a bit more adventurous with the ball but he's certainly capable.

[@richposports7030]

Looks combative. Not got electric pace

[@richposports7030]

Watching these ahead of USA 🇺🇸 v Jamaica 🇯🇲

[@Brazil520]

Tears in my eyes its taken 247 years, but USA finally has a technical central midfielder.

[@alfredoayala4443]

😂😂😂

[@Darvineb86]

Shame that clueless belhalter won’t play him

[@Brazil520]

lol Berhalter seems to want to play a 4-3-3 possession heavy game, I think he'll play him. @@Darvineb86

[@xLuxors]

LDLT is a very high technical ability midfielder

So nasceu nos EUA, foi aqui no Brasil que se criou, aqui é futebol raiz meu amigo

[@vitorfae9478]

Im brazilian and I support Internacional (club where Jhonny Cardoso was formed). Imo he should be sold for more than 8mi euros to Betis, he is very good, attacking and defending wise, a great cdm/cm... Hopefully he continues to do well and a big club in europe buy him

[@kairihd3521]

Cardoso can be another top top players for us , i can see it its very clear

[@dh5363]

Betis is a great club with beautiful footballing culture, I hope he learns as much as he can there and keeps improving for awhile before trying to move up to a higher profile club.

[@SFMEDITS]

it's a great spot for him to develop

[@drjoaozinho]

He was playing for SC Internacional from Brazil before Betis. Inter is very traditional and bigger than Bétis

[@patriciasousadasilva9077]

There's a difference between "development" and "improvement": The club where he learned how to play soccer until he could be a professional player is actually the club that developed him. He was DEVELOPED by Internacional de Porto Alegre, what Real Betis is doing is helping him with his IMPROVEMENT. He dindn't leave Brazil just to be "developed" by Real Betis.

[@nicolasleon5555]

I’ve been really impressed watching him at Betis! He’s been phenomenal! He’s gonna make earning a starting spot that much difficult for the US which is a great thing.

[@RoniSilveir4]

Jhonny brilhou aqui no inter agora começando a brilhar no Betis. Muitos anos na base do inter merece muitas coisas grandes.

[@rafaelperez4281]

Just a few games but he's been massive for us. Already 2 MVPs and he seems to be loving the club and the city. In 2 years we'll get 60M for him

[@SFMEDITS]

glad you guys are happy with him. he could be a top player!

[@donatom5080]

No me vayas vendiendo al nuevo y buscale sitio a Guido que tenía muchas dudas😂😂😂 MUSHO BETI🇳🇬

[@Eli-213]

This was exciting. Glad he made the move.

[@SFMEDITS]

i agree!

[@celebrim1]

I was worried about the move initially because he hadn't previously shown anything to me that made me think he'd succeed in La Liga, and I was worried he'd ride the bench and not see play, but I am entirely pleasantly surprised by what I'm seeing of him and indeed I am glad he made the move because without it I don't think he'd get a whole lot of attention from management and there were a number of players who would automatically rate higher on the depth chart. But now, I think you can legitimately rate him as potentially a starting midfielder especially if Berhalter goes back to his preferred 4-2-3-1 now that he's got the pieces for it (potentially, if people stay healthy, looking at you Weston).

[@kennethespinoza388]

I've watched his games at Betis and he's been cooking. I think he has a higher ceiling as a 6 than Tyler Adams but Tyler is really good at destroying. Definitely good to have the option of a destroyer and a 6 who is good on the ball and in the air

[@SouthEndSoccer6]

It provides us some flexibility in style depending on our opponent. Something we have never really had the luxury to do

[@SFMEDITS]

having depth at the 6 feels so nice especially with tyler's injuries

[@nickvincent8760]

Love to see it. Its great to have options at the 6. USMNT have viable options in almost every position. Would love to have better LB and winger options. But really happy to see Johnny soccer begin to put himself in the conversation as a starter for USMNT even with a healthy Adams. Hes earned the look

[@carloscolindres9772]

Jedi robbinson isn’t good enough??? Bro is one of the best lb in the pl

[@sanjayrajagopal7416]

wingers we have plenty of. LB are our issue. Jedi and Lund are good, but third string is de juan jones, who I rate to go to europe tbf.

[@nickvincent8760]

@@carloscolindres9772 Jedi is the man. Yeah maybe wasn't clear, I was meaning more depth options at LB. We are lucky to have a quality LB in Jedi.

[@steez54321]

He's like a blend of Adams and Dest. Technical on the ball but solid on defense.

[@astergabe]

hes has brazilian parents, just borned in us

[@richposports7030]

​@@astergabeaaaaaah 😊

[@Nextwillbebetter]

Didn't realize he had these dribbling skills, great with the disguised pass as well. Hope he stays healthy can be a great player!

[@drjoaozinho]

He is brazilian. Formed by SC Inter. Brazilian school has much dribbling

[@rvdafavela2379]

Sou Brasileiro e torço pro Inter 🇲🇨 cuidem bem do nosso guri Johnny

[@sanjayrajagopal7416]

He's so press resistant.

[@SFMEDITS]

yep one thing i noticed. he's never really flustered when pressured. keeps his composure and gets out

[@AndrewLaReal]

Basically reincarnation of Prime Bradley at Roma

[@christophergoodwin4154]

I disagree Johny’s ceiling is much higher I’d take Johny right now at 22 over prime Bradley. Dude was a legend for us but there’s levels

[@AndrewLaReal]

I meant in playing style though @@christophergoodwin4154

[@celebrim1]

Bradley was much better with stopped balls, set pieces, and long range passes/shots. He probably had more motor. But on the other hand, I think Cardosa is more press resistant and has a better first touch. But yeah, regardless, I would definitely take a player of Bradley's caliber.

[@davidmilko6065]

We won't see it until this summer when Adams returns to full fitness, but it will be interesting to see how the USMNT staff make use of all the talent we have at the CM positions. Adams, Cardoso & Maloney @ the 6, McKennie, Musah & De La Torre @ the 8, Reyna & Tillman @ the 10. At least 2 of these guys are going to miss the Copa America....and it should be an interesting competition to see who is in the starting XI. CF competition also seems to be heating up with Balogun, Pepe, Sargent all doing well with others lurking to challenge if any of these 3 slip up. If we could only get some competition and depth at CB and Keeper I think we could make some noise.

[@celebrim1]

This just goes to show how little importance it is how good a player is at 18 compared to how good they are at 23. The best players at age 17 are rarely the best players at 23 or 26. He's balling out for exactly the sort of reasons you'd expect - he's added a ton of muscle to his frame and he's gotten over his boyish clumsiness he exhibited earlier. There is also a fierceness and edge to his play that was missing earlier. The best thing is that this is not a player who is being held back by anything right now. He's only going to get better over the next four years. Plus he's a big physical player whose game will very much translate to the rough and tumble of CONCACAF. Tim Ream was probably the breakthrough player of 2022 after everyone had written him off as too old and too mistake prone. Cardosa is definitely the breakout player of 2024. I can't see anyone else showing this much upside.

[@alessandrobaseggio6016]

O motivo do aprimoramento do Jhonny foi que o Inter nunca tratou ele como estrela até ele ficar totalmente maduro! Muitos garotos.da base do Jhonny hoje estão muito abaixo dele, quando os mesmos na base eram considerados promessas! O Jhonny foi de pouco em pouco cavando espaço, e quando viram no último semestre dele no Internacional era praticamente indispensável no meio campo, o nosso homen de confiança! Agora na Europa ele já chegou maduro, formado jogador, com a capacidade física aprimorada pelos treinamentos europeus, a técnica que ele tem, o jeito brasileiro que vem de berço, e a vontade de sempre querer chegar além dos americanos, tenho certeza que sua seleção ganhou um ótimo, se não um dos melhores meio campo que vocês já viram jogar!

He should be ahead of Adams. Just so much more quality.

[@celebrim1]

He's got a physicality that we're short of on the team, that's for sure.
