Listen now
Description
This is the story of DeAndre Yedlin. DeAndre broke through at Seattle Sounders and impressed the world of football during the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, when he played a brilliant game versus Belgium. Eden Hazard, who already was a bonafide superstar back then, had a hard time dealing with Yedlin’s pace and energy. This spectacular breakthrough performance earned Yedlin a move to Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League. He later played for Sunderland and would spend the majority of his career in England at Newcastle United.  After a brief stint at Turkish giants Galatasaray, DeAndre Yedlin returned to the United States this year, to sign for David Beckham’s Inter Miami. It’s been almost eight years since he left home. So we hopped on a call with DeAndre, to reflect on his years in European football, and to find out what his life’s like in Miami. - See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
