Michael de Leeuw was officially introduced by the Fire Tuesday. The club would like you to know he is not our savior but they are pretty stoked his name means lion in Dutch.
Michael de Leeuw was officially introduced by the Chicago Fire Tuesday, joining general manager Nelson Rodriguez and coach Veljko Paunovic for a short press conference.
We already knew some things about the Fire's newest Dutch addition before Tuesday's press conference. We know he scored 46 goals in 117 matches for FC Groningen during Eredivisie play. We know he played with Fire center back Johan Kappelhof while at Groningen.
