1:36 Always Wanting More with Johan Gómez: The American Playing in the 2nd Bundesliga Footwork

Johan Gómez is a 22 year old professional soccer player from Texas, currently playing for Eintracht Braunschweig in the 2nd Bundesliga. Having known he wanted to test his abilities in Europe, Johan ventured to Porto after several trials around Europe, eventually joining their u19 setup and B team one year after the other. A testing time for the young striker, who reveals some of his lowest and most humbling moments struck there. But it certainly didn’t stop the dream, moving to east Germany to join FSV Zwickau (and American coach and former guest Joe Enochs) in the 3rd Bundesliga. Two seasons, 6 goals in each, helped Johan get the move to the blue and yellow Eintracht Braunschweig. At just 22 years of age, the only limit is the sky. We speak on his transformation as a player, the amazing and testing moments at Porto, how German football has improved his abilities, the pressures and demands of the 2nd Bundesliga, USMNT, tactical elements and where he fits in at Braunschweig, hoping to one day play with his brother Jonathan Gómez, relegation battles, overthinking vs analyzing, measuring himself as a player and so so much more.
