Goal writes: "Jose Francisco Torres, one of the stars of the United States Men's National Team's comeback 2-1 victory against Turkey at Lincoln Financial Field on Saturday afternoon, credits midfield partner Michael Bradley with helping him become a better defender.
The creative Pachuca player has never struggled with his offensive game, but the American coaching staff prizes two-way midfielders. Torres, who played the second half against the Crescent Stars, demonstrated a new tenacity when challenging for the ball. (He also delivered some hard tackles in Tuesday night's fixture with the Czech Republic.)"
