There is always going to be hype when a 15-year old starts playing and succeeding in a professional sport. That is what is happening with Alfonso Davies for the Vancouver Whitecaps. Davies has logged 299 minutes for the Whitecaps with 2 full 90 minute games. It is incredible to think that at age 15, someone can be already playing for the Whitecaps and actually being a difference maker in a game, such as he was against Seattle on Sunday.
There is going to be a lot of hype around a kid like this, but head coach Carl Robinson wants to protect Davies from all the expectations surrounding him.
