Currently Sporting Kansas City have left the warm desert of Tucson, Arizona to return to the bitter cold of Kansas City in February. They will head back to Tucson on February 14, 2016 as they prepare for the Desert Diamond Cup. We were fortunate enough to attend practice and both scrimmages. Here are six takeaways from those events.
1. Brad Davis and Justin Mapp Lined Up on the Right Wing
In 2015 Graham Zusi lined up almost exclusively on the right wing in Sporting KC’s 4-3-3 formation. The exception being when he was forced to play as a false nine when Dom Dwyer was hurt and Krisztian Nemeth was unavailable.
