It’s an honour to work with Kevin Hartman, says new FC Dallas goalkeeper Richard Sanchez – MLS News
Newly acquired http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Kevin-Hartman-c20728. Hartman has been
Sanchez’s ideal since his days with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Los-Angeles-Galaxy-c39818.
Sanchez grew up in San http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fernando-c13609 Valley in Los Angeles and being a football enthusiast, his favourite MLS club was LA Galaxy. The player never missed a Galaxy match especially his idol’s performance in front of the net.
Hartman, especially during his day with Los Galacticos, ruled the hearts of the football followers in the US and Sanchez feels special working with him.
“It was mind-blowing being that when I was younger I would look up to the guy and now being able to train with him, it’s really an honor,” admitted Sanchez. “He’s a really good goalkeeper and he really does give me lots of tips and hints. It’s an honor to
be close to him and learn from him.”
Sanchez led the U-17 Mexican national team to the World Cup title this year, a major reason being the acquisition made by the Toros. However, it is Sanchez who feels special playing alongside his childhood idol.
Hartman saw the youngster protecting the net in training sessions and was impressed with his athletic, though he believes there is room for improvement.
“I’m certainly not a coach, but I feel like if I can mentor him in any way and try to provide a picture of what a professional is, then it will help him in the long term in terms of how he deals with the day-to-day and stuff that he does for the club,” the
former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Kansas-City-Wizards-c39666 custodian said.
Sanchez is an example that Hartman has ruled the football fans with his acrobatic skills in front of the net, and it is about time that the US veteran makes way for the younger generation.
