Obinna Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 What are your thoughts on MLS? Is it a competition you'd like to play in? What league do you want to play in the most? What do you see as your best position on the field? What are your thoughts on Zambrano? How would you describe his coaching / style of play / system? What player in camp impressed you the most / did you enjoy playing with the most? How would you describe your style of play?
