Luis Felipe returned for his third season with the San Jose Earthquakes in 2020, the lanky midfielder now 24 years old and in a make-or-break spot with the club.
Unfortunately, his season was one where it looked he didn’t have a role on the team once and for all.
Luis Felipe is a shining diamond in MLS terms in one respect — born in New York, he’s an American citizen and counts as a domestic player, but he was trained as a soccer player in Brazil, at Cruzeiro’s academy, therefore having a more worldly upbringing in the sport.
