Episode 394 – The AFTN Soccer Show (Something For The Weekend with guests Alan Koch, Ranko Veselinović, Axel Schuster, and Jake Reid)
The latest AFTN Soccer Show is out and it’s a bumper packed episode this time around.
Our feature interview this week is with Alan Koch, as we look back at his career from SFU Clan to Colorado Springs Switchbacks and the stops at Vancouver Whitecaps 2 and FC Cincinnati along the way. We look back at the highs and lows, the project currently ahead of him, and what the future could hold in store.
We also have a chat with the Whitecaps player we haven’t been able to see play yet, Serbian centre back Ranko Veselinović. We talk to Ranko about his move to MLS, suddenly finding himself in lockdown, his career so far, and his desire to make his current loan deal a permanent move.
Plus we hear from Whitecaps sporting director Axel Schuster about Yordy Reyna and Jasser Khmiri’s lockdown breach and when the ‘Caps players may be back on the pitch, and we jump on a call with Sporting KC President and CEO Jake Reid about getting MLS back to playing and what that might look like.
We also have the latest news from North America and around the world as football’s shutdown continues, but a couple of leagues return, bring you our latest FK Slutsk update, and chat about our newly discovered love of the Faroe Islands Premier League.
