A soccer player could set high goals for his career, representing the national team would be one of them for sure. Others can imagine themselves stepping into the field with one of their relatives, for those who are lucky enough to embark on professional soccer alongside a sibling. Then you see the even more fortunate ones who become club teammates.
That’s the case of the Roldan brothers, who have the pleasure of sharing the daily drills, locker room, trips, and games with the Seattle Sounders in MLS. However, at the international stage, they took separate ways. Cristian, the older brother, represents the USMNT, while Alex plays for El Salvador.
The brothers sat down with Concacaf in an exclusive interview to discuss their sensations in the 2021 Gold Cup so far and have addressed the possibility of facing each other in the tournament, something they’d be looking forward to doing.
