You don’t have to tell Robin Lod that he didn’t make the kind of impact that was expected last season. The Finnish midfielder is the first to admit it, and he does it with an even-keeled mix of regret and optimism for the future befitting his home country’s national character.
“There was definitely a lot of things going on at the same time,” he said of the time when he arrived in Minnesota last year. After wrapping up his season with Sporting Gijon in the second division of Spain’s La Liga on June 8, Lod was transferred to MNUFC on July 16.
