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.

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

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.

It’s so rare to get into the position this kid is in…0.00001 percent probability

This kid's father has 10X more to do with his current state than Sal
He has taken the kid any and everywhere to get training. Here and abroad.

He just happened to spend some time at Achilles.

Phillip Gyau and other coaches in the area have a much more exceptional track record than Sal for developing kids to Pro levels.
This kid is a lightening strike for Sal and he's milking it.

Let's stop the BS

I don’t know anything about that.

But it’s still very rare to be in the position that he is in.

Anyhow you kind of are contradicting yourself. You’re giving credit to the father BUT the father in the end didn’t choose Phillip Gyau or other coaches.

He entrusted Sal to take it home. Sal probably used his connections to even get this kid on the radar in Germany.

Oh please.
The kid was at Achilles club. Not developed at Achilles.

He spent a lot more time doing private and group trainings away from Achilles team trainings.

What Sal know about high level European soccer especially compared to Phillip Gyau?
Sal can't carry Phillip's clipboard in that regards.

This quality kid just by chance and coincidence did some time at Achilles.
He would have ended up getting this opportunity if he was at Bethesda or PPA or SYC, because of his parents efforts.

Why waste so much time coming on here to straight up lie about this? Put the axe down. It's ground.

Word is Sal brought him over to Germany personally.

If my kid ends up with that kind of potential I’m taking him to Achilles just for the European connection only 😂

First. How is he milking it? specific example please.

Second, and again, you must be thinking about someone else. He's been at Achilles forever and hasn't played anywhere else except DC United, and Bethesda for half a season. Each time he came back to Achilles. Yes his dad was involved. Of course. And he and the player chose to develop at Achilles.

Why would they give them more teams/age groups if they can't win a match with the ones they have now?

Probably Because Sal can coach:

A 15-year-old midfielder is joining Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt from Achilles FC next month.

Yeah a Brazilian kid..his golden boy

What does that even mean? He grew up here and apparently has an Italian passport.

Brazilian heritage but not sure if born here or not.

It’s easy for Brazilians and Argentines to play in Europe using an Italian passport because all you have to do is find literally a great grandfather that came over (tons of those) and then voila!!

I’ll get my son his Italian passport soon just in case

Sure but what relevance does Brazilian heritage have to do with the fact that he was developed at Achilles? He’s been there since U littles

Look I don’t know if he has been there since he was little or not.

I apologize if I hurt your feelings about highlighting his ethnicity.

No feelings hurt, just completely irrelevant detail to development. And yes, he’s been at Achilles since he was little. That’s a fact whether you believe it or not.

Like I said I’m sorry that he has Brazilian parents. I hope you feel better now.

I actually have no idea he has Brazilian parents, I was assuming based on his name that he likely has at Brazilian heritage. But I don’t know that for a fact like I know that his being at Achilles since he was little is a fact. Hope you feel better knowing that too.

And don’t be sorry if someone has Brazilian parents, that would just be weird and racist.

Brazilian isn't a race. In fact, Brazilians come in all colors you can imagine. You are weird and a racialist for saying what you did.

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

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.

He’s not clueless. He knows what he’s doing.

Why did that make you uncomfortable that he is of Brazilian heritage? Why dismiss it? You don’t see the relevance of it? Are you that clueless?

According to you I am apparently.
