    Lots of interesting stuff from Nowak.

    1. Freddy will play alot this year, probably in a free role. ("It doesn’t really matter what position he is going to play")

    2. My pet issue, that lifting is bad for Freddy, is seconded by Nowak. ("Lifting weights and all that stuff, we have to stop it and do the best thing for Freddy.") Pretty much indicting the Bradenton bunch.

    3. DOn't know if this is a typo, but Nowak thinks Freddy will be the teams goal scorer. : Nowak on who will score the goals for D.C. United without Hristo Stoitchkov and Marco Etcheverry:
    “From Freddy Adu.


    4. He seems to be against foreigners in MLS, stating that we have all the stars in the donovans, beasleys and conveys already.

    I thought it was strange that he said that Freddy would score their goals. He obviously thinks a lot of Freddy and his talents, but I didn't expect him to name any single person because of his team first attitude. I sure hope Freddy does what Nowak thinks he can.

    If you listen to the audio stream, you can tell he's kidding about Freddy scoring all the goals - it is nice to hear Peter joke, I have yet to even see him smile in person, or in any of Andy's pictures.

    Ah, OK. That makes more sense. I guess that's what you get with transcripts.

    Yeah, that would be some pressure.

    new found respect for nowak...

    love to see his belief in mls and the american players.

    we're actually fortunate to have people like him who see themselves as coaches and people who are responsible for growing the league and the players.

    in metro land, aside from donadoni, most of our foreigners have been here for one reason, themselves.
