PSP reporter Eli Pearlman-Storch and photographer/videographer Daniel Gajdamowicz caught up with Chandler Hoffman, Danny Mwanga, Gabriel Farfan, Raymon Gaddis, Amobi Okugo, and Jimmy McLaughlin after the Philadelphia Union’s 2-1 win over Schalke 04. Here’s a look at what they had to say:
Eli, you mentioned to Okugo that you’d talked to him after last year’s Everton friendly. Is there video of those interviews? If so, I couldn’t find it.
Unfortunately there is no video of that conversation. Both he and Danny Mwanga were quite taken with the size and strength of players like Jack Rodwell and Sylvain Distin. They both came to the conclusion that they needed to hit the gym and fast. It was mostly in jest, but clearly their eyes were opened by players who had skill and quickness while also being ENORMOUS
Ah yes. Distin is huge and fast. Truthfully, should have been a defensive end! Seems like a good guy too. http://twitter.com/sylvaind15tin
