“He's the No. 10. He gets things ticking.”
That's how Zachary Herivaux describes his New England Revolution teammate Lee Nguyen, the skillful veteran at the heart of the Revs' midfield and the subject of the latest episode of MLS Insider.
Nguyen's unique adventure in the game has taken him literally around the world.

There he became perhaps the most beloved athlete in a small but soccer-obsessed nation.
