Fabian Herbers was not happy.
On the first episode of “Zee Soccer Pod,” the new podcast the Chicago Fire midfielder hosts with fellow MLS German player Julian Gressel of D.C. United, Herbers unloaded on what he said were unfair negotiation tactics by MLS owners in the latest collective bargaining talks.
“In this negotiation I was even more emotionally involved than in my own contract negotiation that I had back in the summer,” Herbers said on Zee Soccer Pod. “I was emotionally more involved, and so really into it. It really drained all the energy out of me, because of the unfairness of the proposals.
