First impressions can be powerful, and Robles recalled the first day he met Adams, who\u2019s now the captain of the U.S. team.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI remember his very first training session when he was 16 years old, his parents dropped him off and he ends up having a below-average training session,\u2019\u2019 Robles recalled. \u201cBut the thing that stuck out \u2014 and all the veterans in the locker room took notice \u2014 was he was just relentless and he was fearless. This is why he\u2019s the captain of the U.S. national team. A lot of it has to do with his mentality. I think it transcends our entire generation.\u2019\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Robles, who grew up in North Jersey, is 38.

They don\u2019t care who they\u2019re playing. They\u2019re fearless, and I think that\u2019s what makes this generation so special.\u2019\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While watching the U.S. matches, whenever there\u2019s a crucial defensive play to be made or a player\u2019s out of position and needs support, Adams always seems to track back with his remarkable recovery speed to save the moment.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe mileage and the range that he covers is incredible, it\u2019s off the charts,\u2019\u2019 Robles said. \u201cHis first few steps to close down ground is elite. If he was a defensive back in the NFL, he\u2019d be elite the way that he\u2019s able to close down space so quickly.\u2019\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/><strong>Follow all the 2022 World Cup action with more from the New York Post<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>Mike Grella, another former Red Bulls teammate of Adams, like Robles didn\u2019t see this coming back when the 16-year-old would be dropped off at training by his parents.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou look at him, he\u2019s not the fastest guy, he\u2019s not really strong, he\u2019s not tall, and you\u2019re kind of just like very unimpressed with him as a 16-year-old,\u2019\u2019 Grella told MLSsoccer.com. \u201cYou\u2019re looking at him thinking, \u2018Is this kid nuts or what?\u2019 And then watch him train, and you see him fly into tackles, and you see him win head balls, and you see him compete, and you go, \u2018Oh, wow, this kid is fearless.\u2019 He\u2019s got this little smile on his face, you know, this little hidden confidence.\u2019\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Robles recalled having \u201cheard a lot about\u2019\u2019 Adams, before he came into the Red Bulls system, through his college roommate, who was an administrator for the U.S. U-17 national team at the time.
