U.S. Soccer named tyler_adams14 its Male Player of the Year. BrianStraus on a landmark 2022 for the USMNT’s captain
Tyler Adams began 2022 confronting concerns about his role and future with RB Leipzig. The 23-year-old ended it as a midfield anchor for Leeds United, anAdams, who also lifted the DFB-Pokal before leaving Leipzig, was given the news Thursday during a Leeds team meeting via a video message from retired goalkeeper Tim Howard, a two-time winner of the award. U.S. Soccer then announced the honor on Friday as Leeds took the field at Aston Villa.
U.S. Soccer’s most prestigious annual award for male athletes was launched in 1984 and is voted on by current national team coaches and players, USSF directors, MLS and USL head coaches, media members, former players and administrators and fans. Adams was the runaway 2022 winner, polling at 71.6%. The prior year’s honoree, Chelsea’s Christian Pulisic, earned 14.7% of the vote. Arsenal goalkeeper Matt Turner finished third with 8.2%.
The second sign that Adams’s fortunes were changing came from Yorkshire, England, where Leeds escaped Premier League relegation and set out to bolster its lineup. With former Red Bull New York, Salzburg and Leipzig manager Jesse Marsch in charge, a reunion with Adams seemed inevitable. The midfielder moved in July for $24 million and quickly proved himself worthy of the sport’s toughest circuit, starting 13 of 14 Premier League matches prior to the World Cup .
"From the whole group, you’ve seen this increased focus as we entered the World Cup and from Tyler in particular, he’s led not only off the field but on the field,” U.S. coach Gregg Berhalter said following the group stage.
