Ahead of tomorrow’s huge playoff game against the New York Red Bulls, Chicago Fire defender João Meira is trying to stay focused on the task at hand.
But with the regular season over and the playoffs being as unforgiving as they are, it’s hard not to try and take stock over the past year. Meira doesn’t know what the future holds for him— although soliciting offers on Twitter to buy his car certainly raised some eyebrows— but he’s trying to let that be a problem for tomorrow.
In an interview with Portuguese-language podcast “Linha Lateral,” Meira talked briefly about playing in MLS, prepping for the postseason, and being teammates with Bastian Schweinsteiger.
