Optimism runs high for a Sporting Kansas City squad seeking to bounce back in 2020 after expectations fell short last year. With Saturday's MLS regular season opener on tap against Vancouver Whitecaps FC, Manager Peter Vermes' men will view Week 1 as the first opportunity to make a strong statement of intent.
Ahead of this weekend's trip to Canada, Sporting Kansas City forward Daniel Salloi sat down with The Nutmeg Podcast host Josh Klingler of 610 Sports Radio to share his thoughts about the club's newcomers, a demanding preseason in Arizona and the many reasons for confidence going into the 2020 campaign.
Salloi was Sporting's Golden Boot winner in 2018 with 16 goals in all competitions and will look to replicate something similar this time around after a long, restful offseason.
