“It’s nice to talk about the big names but Jason and I need complementary players as much as you need the star players,” [said] Reyna. “I think that’s what we have learned from the likes of Beckham and Henry going over there. It is important to build a well-rounded team as well.”

Jolly: Claudio Reyna energized, focused on his work with NYC FC
