Visibly relaxed Clark started in on practice with Eintracht on Tuesday. The Midfield fighter had three weeks of vacation to get over his mistakes at the WC.
As a reminder: He started in the first game against England. Then he was on the bench. In the round of 16 against Ghana, the mistake climax: Before Ghana's first goal, Clark lost the ball. The result: Bradley took him out after 30 minutes...
Clark: "I am happy to be in Frankfurt. I am comfortable with the team and am ready to go."
And he has to be. At his position in defensive midfield, there is a lot of competition. Pirim Schwegler and Alexander Meier are more than likely the starters. It will be difficult to surpass them. But those who know the US-Rambo, knows that he will give it his all.
Clark: "We have a very good and balanced roster. I came to Eintracht to help the team."
And how hard Clark is going to work for his chance is evident: On August 10 the new stadium in New York will be opened in front of 90,000 fans when the USA takes on Brazil. However, Clark has already turned down the opportunity to play in order to take part in training camp in Kärnten (Austria). "For me, every training session is critical."
He is contract is for three years. Clark has rented a house in Niderrad for him and his family.
He promises: "I will learn a lot here. Frankfurt hasn't seen the real Clark yet."
