Just saw him in Soldier field last weekend,he is an excellent passer of the ball but at the moment he isn't able to compete physically with the older players yet
it was premature for freddie to think he could compete at this physical level. I think he is a very skilled footballer, but I don't think he's physically ready to compete in the MLS. I mainly put blame on the MLS for whoring freddie to the public, and pressuring him into joining at such an early age.
thak you that link you send is only audio. What makes him so good.? i seeen players just as good when they are 15 or 16. He is still good tho
no no im not saying he is good. He is the best player for his age by far. But iam saying was every pro just as good as him when they where his age ? at what age did some pros get boticed? did they all get noticed early or no ? thanks
sorry!!!! i didnt mean that freddy adu is bad, hes a very skill full player. ok, was every profesional soccer player as good as ADU or anywhere near as good ? Do you guys no any pro soccer players that got noticed at a later age ??? did every pro player get noticed at a early age??? thanks
That's true. Both Eddie Gaven and and Bobby Convey started pro careers in MLS at 16. Peter Nowak started his pro career in Poland at the age of 15, the same for Pele' in Brazil, I believe -- also Maradona at Boca... Anyway, Freddy has now turned 15, and has yet to be sidelined with injury, in spite of the extra attention he gets from opposition defenders. Barring the unforseen, he can only grow stronger, and his physique will begin to match his skills. This will be fascinating to see; we can watch him develop before our eyes. Enjoy the show.
does anyone get noticed after like 17 or anything ??? what if you are really good but you dont live in a big soccer town ? how can i get noticed, i might be going back to germany on vacation and i might go for junior Alemania Aachen. Their senior team plays in the 2nd leagues and they are in 3rd place so they might go in the first league. Do players in the german 2nd league get paid ? how much? just curious...thanks
Obviously lots of players are "noticed" as young teens and begin their pro careers at that point in their lives. It is far more uncommon for players of 14, 15 or 16 to play for their club's first teams in their country's first, professional, division, which is what Freddy is doing. It is not a small distinction. I have no idea how his career will end up, but what he's managed to accomplish having just turned 15, while not amounting to a reinvention of the wheel, is nevertheless both unusual and remarkable.
Nobody has given Freddy a chance to settle in MLS. He may be good but he has a long way to go . Just look at some of the 19 and 20 year olds in the Euro 2004.Then look at the way they are playing and then compare Freddy its a long way off untill he can compete with them.
