FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – It’s the day before the U.S. Open Cup final and New England Revolution goalkeeper Brad Knighton is giving an interview on the side of a training field in Frisco, Texas.
Knighton is trying to maintain his composure and answer the questions as seriously as possible, but Revolution newcomer Xavier Kouassi isn’t having any of it. He’s made it his mission to throw Knighton off his game, making faces and doing anything he can to distract his teammate from the task at hand.
Knighton perseveres, though, and Kouassi is left playfully frustrated that his tactics are unsuccessful.
