Hammarby U.S. striker Charlie Davies (left on picture) will participate in two games for U.S. U23 team versus China in December. He has been called to U.S. training camp held in Home Depot Center in Carson, California, where a total of 22 players will prepare for the away games. The U.S. Under 23’s are actually the U.S. Olympic team which will play next summer in China. Of 22 players, only 2 are currently positioned in Europe. Except for Charlie Davies, it’s Hannover 96’s Sal Zizzo that will join.
As Hammarby supporter, it’s only good news. Charlie Davies’ confidence should be at top, since he managed to score a hat trick in the final match of the season against GAIS at home. This is another opportunity for Charlie to gain precious experience. If Charlie Davies does a good job in China, it’s likely that he will be considered for the next World Cup, the finest tournament a footballer can participate in.
This will probably give Davies the boost well needed for the dreaded pre-season. Sweden has one of the world’s longest pre-seasons, four months.
