However, Dempsey’s previous move to get rid of Gerrard’s entangled defense was remarkable, although it was somewhat The unorthodox moves like the Marseille slalom are not very beautiful, but they are valuable if they can be effective. The long-range cannon shot was also powerful enough, causing Green to make a mistake that he will never forget.

Unlike many data-swiping machines, Dempsey’s goal statistics are not particularly exaggerated, but he can always show his ability in important games. His masterpiece is the 2013 Confederations Cup. Not only did he win three The goal was scored, and the European champion Spanish team was defeated in the semi-finals, which forced the "Matador" to stop its 35-game unbeaten record.
