Few players begin their professional careers as oddly as Tiago Mendonca. After inking his first professional contract in January for the inaugural New England Revolution II team, a dream of playing professionally had a beginning in sight; on March 28, Revolution II would open their season at home against Orlando City B. That was, until, all hell broke loose.
“[The COVID-19 outbreak] was very tough,” Mendonca remarked. “We just want to play, right? We want our season back.”
Mendonca signed for Revolution II on January 28, the tenth addition to the inaugural club.
