Lights FC plan to play Freddy Adu against his former team

Former U.S. soccer prodigy Freddy Adu will likely make his Lights FC debut Saturday. The team plans to play Adu against his former team, D.C. United. I want to look at Freddy in the stadium, with the fans, with another important team (playing us). Adu was taken in the 2004 Major League Soccer SuperDraft by D.C. when he was 14-years-old. The attacking midfielder has played for 14 teams in eight countries since then. Now Adu is with the Lights to try to keep his career afloat.

The Las Vegas Lights FC are building their team differently than other USL clubs. Coach Jose Luis Sanchez Sola is the only Mexican coach in the USL. Sola is using his reputation and connections to sign Mexican players the Lights feel other clubs are overlooking. Lights signees Joel Huiqui and Gerardo Lugo both said Sola was the main reason they came to the team. Both have experience with the Mexican national team. The Lights are hoping to add more players like them for their inaugural season.
