Major League Soccer commissioner Don Garber says he and United States coach Jurgen Klinsmann have "a very different view" when it comes to young Americans choosing to play in MLS or Europe.
Garber said he believes that securing regular playing time in MLS is more valuable than struggling to get on the field for larger clubs abroad.
Asked on Thursday what he thought of Klinsmann encouraging players to join foreign clubs, Garber said, "I have a very different view than our national team coach does."
Garber told a meeting of the Associated Press Sports Editors that MLS gives "players an opportunity to play day in and day out and lead a team and get lots and lots of reps, as opposed to going overseas to test their courage and test their mettle and maybe not playing.
