Sources described Reyna walking throughout his playing time in the scrimmage and that \u201ccaused significant frustration\u201d within the squad.<\/p>\n<p>After not being subbed in during the 1-1 draw against Wales, Reyna was so frustrated he threw his shin guards and then displayed a lackadaisical effort during the ensuing training session, so much so that DeAndre Yedlin and Aaron Long pulled him aside for a talking-to.<\/p>\n<p>The situation escalated to the point where Reyna stood up during a video session and apologized to his teammates for his lack of intensity, The Athletic reported. That seemingly put an end to the drama, until Berhalter spoke on the matter.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/berhalter.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Gregg Berhalter after the US' knockout stage loss against Netherlands.\" class=\"wp-image-24980353\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/berhalter.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/berhalter.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/berhalter.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/berhalter.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Gregg Berhalter after the US\u2019 knockout stage loss against Netherlands.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">REUTERS<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The coach referenced the situation without explicitly naming Reyna at the HOW Institute for Society\u2019s Summit on Moral Leadership in New York last Tuesday, although a US Soccer spokesperson told The Athletic his comments were supposed to be \u201cexplicitly off the record.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn this last World Cup, we had a player that was clearly not meeting expectations on and off the field,\u201d Berhalter said in comments first published <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.charterworks.com\/leadership-tips-from-the-us-mens-soccer-head-coach\/\">by the Charter newsletter<\/a>. \u201cOne of 26 players, so it stood out. As a staff, we sat together for hours deliberating what we were going to do with this player. We were ready to book a plane ticket home, that\u2019s how extreme it was. And what it came down to was, we\u2019re going to have one more conversation with him, and part of the conversation was how we\u2019re going to behave from here out. There aren\u2019t going to be any more infractions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Berhalter added that he and the coaching staff knew the risks in potentially sending Reyna home, but said they were prepared to do it. Ultimately, Reyna remained with the team for its entire stay in Qatar.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/reyna.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Gio Reyna during the US' World Cup loss to the Netherlands\" class=\"wp-image-24980354\" width=\"618\" height=\"411\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/reyna.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1233 1236w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/reyna.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=924 927w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/reyna.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=616 618w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/reyna.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=308 309w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/reyna.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 618px) 100vw, 618px\"\/><figcaption>Gio Reyna during the US\u2019 World Cup loss to the Netherlands<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">AP<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/berhalter2.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Gregg Berhalter consoles Christian Pulisic after the US was eliminated from the World Cup.\" class=\"wp-image-24980352\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/berhalter2.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/berhalter2.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/berhalter2.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Gregg Berhalter consoles Christian Pulisic after the US was eliminated from the World Cup.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cGio obviously did not have the experience anyone hoped for at the World Cup.

At this point, our view is that nothing more is gained by those associated with the national team turning on each other, and we plan no further comment on this matter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There were reports that the team took a vote on whether or not Reyna should stay in Qatar with 13 votes in favor of him staying and 12 of him leaving. ESPN\u2019s Taylor Twellman, though, disputed that report.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"embed-wrapper twitter\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">To clarify the story going around re: Gio<\/p>\n<p>There was NO player vote taken regarding his status with the team.
