After seven uninterrupted years in the postseason, 2019
was a bit scarce for SKC and seeing their run come to a stop after the team had
its struggles but for manager Peter Vermes he is up and ready to front another
contested season.
So far, the club directives being hard at work in getting
the ideal players to come to Children’s Mercy Park to try to make some noise
and maybe reach that desired spot in the league finals denied many times in the
past.
The arrival of several players important to the blueprint
project put in by manager Peter Vermes and looking forward to making an impact
and not see this team display a sorry season is among one of his goals in this
2020.
However, Vermes is aware of the competition in both
conferences and the way many clubs have armed their arsenal’s come kickoff this
first weekend of March when Major League Soccer is celebrating its 25 years
since its inception.
Still, one thing this squad one urgent sense of
competition and they are not easy prey to its foes, but in this 2020 with
new franchises being welcomed in MLS, the competition is good as manager Vermes
sees it but they need to step and be better!
As the team prepares for its 25th season, for
the league pioneers, Sporting Kansas City somehow is looking forward to a return
to its old glories and they would like to wrap it up with their third MLS
Shield.
The club as mentioned before being hard at work to build
an armada for Peter Vermes entering into his eleventh season at the helm of
SKC, the man is pumped up to deliver mayhem to all of its league foes from day
one.
Among one of the most impacting arrivals to the Midwest
side was of Mexican international striker Alan Pulido as the former player for Levadiakos
and Olympiakos of the Greek league and later Tigres and Chivas from Liga MX.
Considered as one of the most mentioned signings in this
edition, SKC also added new players in defender Winston Reid on loan from
English side West Ham United, defender Amadou Dia from Phoenix Rising, defender
Roberto Puncec from Rijeka, Gady Kinsa and goalkeeper Ricardo Sanchez.
Adding the likes of promises in goalkeeper John
Poulskamp, plus a couple of draftees in the recent SuperDraft in midfielders
Jaret Townsend from Washington and James Kasak from Virginia Tech plus assuring
the services of goalkeeper Tim Melia to a new contract.
For SKC reinforcing their backfield and adding an upgrade
in its attack, the former Wizards are looking forward to a productive season
and a run to the postseason if everything falls according to manager Peter
Vermes plans.
In the end, Sporting Kansas City can finish in the top
four spots in the Western Conference and a third-place maybe in the works, in
the end Pulido’s adaptation to MLS as well the newcomer defenders will be the
highlight for this team's success in 2020.
