And Richards said from the USA's Copa America camp: “Our lockers are right beside each other, so we chat pretty often! He’s a quiet guy, but I try to get some words out of him.

“He’s definitely wise beyond his years, so I pick his brain. We call him ‘Uncle Marc’.”

“I knew that, once I was able to get into the team, I would eventually be able to show why I might deserve to stay there. Playing with guys like Joa (Joachim Andersen) and Marc in training really taught me a lot. It helped me elevate my game much further.

“I think that’s why I was so successful at the back end of the season.”
