VANCOUVER, BC – As Axel Schuster and the Vancouver Whitecaps FC brass embarked on their search for new talent this offseason, they all agreed it was important not only to unearth hidden gems – so to speak – but to find players who were already established in their teams.
Players who are used to, well, playing. Not once in a while, but week in, week out.
Players who are used to contributing.
To winning.
“If you want to have a competitive team, you should have some players who are absolutely used to competing every week,” Schuster said.
