Daily News | Malik Tillman speaks softly, but carries a big potential with the U.S. men’s soccer team
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — When Malik Tillman arrived in at the U.S. men’s soccer team’s summer gathering, it was the first time he had set foot in this country.Tillman is the latest member of a long lineage of soccer players born to American military members stationed abroad,. The 20-year-old’s father is from Detroit, and his mother is German. They separated when Malik was 4 years old, and the son grew up in Nuremberg with his brother and their mother.
“I would say that I have a chance to play in the World Cup this year,” Tillman said. “With Germany, I think I wouldn’t be with the team for the next two years. If I have a great career, the next two years, maybe I can have a chance with the German national team, but I don’t really see the chance with them like I see it here.”
“They told me it’s a great group of guys, the team has a lot of potential, and, yeah, they also convinced me,” he said. “With Chris, I have a good relationship, and I really trust him. I would say he’s a good friend of mine. So to hear something like that from him is very important for me.”
