5 reasons why Lynden Gooch will be a success at Sunderland

Confident

It is clear to see that the young American believes in his ability and feels he can go far in the game. For some, this type of confidence can burden them, for example the likes of Mario Balotelli and Dimitar Berbatov, who could have been world-beaters if they applied themselves in every single game.

However, it is clear to see that Gooch’s confidence has only helped his career.

In a recent interview with The Guardian, Gooch said, “I knew I was good enough” and has never doubted that he would succeed on the football pitch.

To be thrown in at the deep end on your Premier League debut at just 20-years-old and to put in a performance as good as he did, shows that the youngster has complete belief in himself.
