After impressive Confederations and Gold cup showings, goal-and-assist-filled preseason performance, and record setting assist in the opening game of the season, Benny Feilhaber willed his team to victory with a 45th minute goal, his first Danish regular season goal, which allowed AGF Aarhus to climb to the top of the Danish Superliga.
After playing a full 90 minutes and earning a yellow card, the US international midfielder was subbed out in stoppage time. After helping secure the game winner, his coach congratulated him for his fine goal, but alluded to his defensive work and bite, as a reason for his fantastic performance while slotting in at left wing.
Benny Feilhaber alluded to his stretch of good performances due to his fitness and confidence stating that "well, I think that I am coming off a nice summer with the [US] national team (USMNT) which has undoubtedly helped me with my confidence and fitness.
He added that "I think the team (Aarhus) is playing really well right now. I think that it is easy to come into a team that when everyone has so much confidence on the ball. I know the things that I am good at, and I am just trying to help the team with those things. I feel comfortable with everybody and hope to keep things going."
With two Danish league games set with Odense BK and Koge before the Mexico/USA qualifier in Mexico's D.F., Feilhaber aspires to parlay his summer's performances into another potential break-out performance, reminiscent of 2-1 victory in the 2007 Gold Cup final that witnessed Feilhaber scoring a long distance one-touch volley.
What do you think of Feilhaber's reemergence? Did Benny cheer you up after such a bad beatdown of the USMNT? Will the US Men's National Team defy odds and defeat Mexico en Azteca? Share your thoughts.
