He's a rookie. In his first season on the eMLS scene - or in competitive FIFA overall - New York Red Bulls eMLS player George Adamou is a champion.
Adamou, just 20-years-old, is a Queens kid who finished out the eMLS season on top, competing virtually against the rest of the league and eventually raising the trophy with a victory over crosstown rivals NYCFC in the eMLS Cup Final.
"Winning eMLS Cup as a rookie is a feeling I can’t really put into words," Adamou said.
Adamou had made it to the final of League Series 1 in his first major tournament, eventually falling to two-time champ Fiddle from FC Cincinnati.
