Born in the United States and committed to the U.S. national team, Zendejas gives head coach <a href=\"\/us\/news\/mauricio-pochettino\/\">Mauricio Pochettino<\/a> width and goal threat off the bench at a home World Cup.<\/p>\n<h2>From FC Dallas to Club America<\/h2>\n<p>Zendejas came through FC Dallas in MLS before a move to Mexico, where he became a key attacker for Club America, one of the biggest clubs in the Americas. There his end product has turned him into a genuine international option. His Club America record in our database is below.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Club America<\/th><th>Total<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Apps<\/strong><\/td><td>28<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Goals<\/strong><\/td><td>12<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Assists<\/strong><\/td><td>7<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Chances created<\/strong><\/td><td>44<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\n<h2>What the numbers say<\/h2>\n<p>Zendejas brings real end product from wide. He scored 12 goals and added seven assists while creating 44 chances in his logged Club America spell, the output of a winger who both finishes and supplies. Two-footed and able to play either flank, he stretches defenses and arrives in the box, exactly the kind of attacking variety a squad wants in reserve.<\/p>\n<h2>Alex Zendejas and the USMNT<\/h2>\n<p>For the United States, Zendejas is attacking depth out wide, an option behind <a href=\"\/us\/news\/christian-pulisic\/\">Christian Pulisic<\/a> and <a href=\"\/us\/news\/tim-weah\/\">Tim Weah<\/a> who can change a game from the bench.

His 12 goals and seven assists came in 2,102 minutes, rates of 0.51 and 0.30 per 90, and he is the team&#8217;s set-piece taker, with 73 corners to his name and two assists laid on directly from them. He also has a dead-ball goal threat, scoring once from a direct free kick and converting four penalties.<\/p>\n<p>For all his two-footed reputation, his shooting is firmly left-side: 46 of his 60 shots and 10 of his 12 goals came off his left foot. He gets into the box and supplies it in equal measure, registering 164 passes into the penalty area and 93 touches inside it, the profile of a direct winger who tilts games from wide whenever he is called on.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-zen1\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Who is Alex Zendejas?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Alex Zendejas is an American winger for Club America in Mexico and a squad option for the USMNT.
