Jürgen Klinsmann likes what he sees so far from Jozy Altidore in Major League Soccer.


Klinsmann answered a number of questions In a wide ranging interview with USSoccer.com.


Altidore’s strong performance against the Whitecaps in Vancouver caught Klinsmann’s eye.


“It’s been very exciting to go from game to game and seeing our players in action, whether it was Jozy Altidore scoring two goals or Clint Dempsey scoring two goals in Seattle, Nick Rimando playing well, and then new teams in the league,” said Klinsmann.


The U.S. manager believes confidence is the key to Altidore’s game.


“Seeing Jozy getting on the scoring side of it right away was very important,” continued Klinsmann.


“He had a tough time the last 18 months in the Premier League, and for him it’s an awesome feeling to start right away with two goals. We all know what Jozy can do when he’s healthy and fit. Hopefully he’s off to a fantastic season.”
