Nice.  You've shown yourself.  So now everyone can discount your frustrated tirades.  We're exhausted by you, but now no one will confuse your posts with truth or valid opinion.[/quote]

Sal doesn't yell at refs and his players?
He isn't infamous for getting red cards and thrown out of tournaments?

Are you going to lie out of loyalty and say its not true, when the whole dmv soccer fraternity knows its true[/quote]

DMV soccer fraternity? Dude, you are the biggest crybaby about Achilles and Sal.

How many players has your son’s coach coached into the Bundesliga? And if he’s a screamer, why did the player stick around for years? Why aren’t people leaving in droves? Why did he win Coach of the Year in 2020?

He runs a boutique club and he delivers.  [/quote]

Wait, a player is leaving Achilles at 15 and signed with a Bundesliga club Senior Men's team?[/quote]

Definitely not.  Will likely play in the academy team, on age.  U16/u17.  All I will say is the level is WAY higher where he is going and he's going to a club that isn't known for having a great academy that produces players but rather buys talent at older ages which means there is less development incentive, it is a literal meat grinder and they ship many players out of the squad per season. No real pathway to first team.  They have zero academy players on first team. Not a good sign if you're an academy player or even on the second team.

Playing in high school level games for a while will be a massive change.  In work rate and defensive intensity alone.  Forget on the ball.  The realities of European football are that a u16 player has about two seasons before the club makes a determination on their pro status and prospects.  That's not a lot of development time for a player that has never played at the European level and isn't dominating at the highest level domestically in the US.  Playing time is hard to come by, extremely competitive and parents can't manipulate clubs like they can in the US.  Transferring if you're not happy at those older ages isn't that simple either so jumping ship is also harder because there is money involved.  The business of soccer is real at these ages.  It definitely isn't about the oranges at the end of the game. That is for sure

Hopefully he does well.  Clearly the club sees some potential or they wouldn't sign him.  Whether they help him realize that potential is a completely different story for the reasons above. As someone who has seen many US players come to Europe, would be very interested to see where this story ends.  [/quote]
