“I wish you live, man” Fafa Picault’s love is stronger than the hate

Below is a feature from the March 23rd edition of Inside the Net.

Enough is enough.

That was Fafa Picault's message on Sunday as he sat in the visiting locker room in Atlanta, fresh off a 1-1 draw with the defending champs.

Picault had run himself into the ground; the Union's aggressive gameplan asking strikers to direct opponent attacks as they developed, dashing side to side and chasing down center backs from behind. Then: Burst forward into attacks.

In the first half, Picault had sprung the Atlanta defense, dashing onto Brenden Aaronson's throughball and rounding Brad Guzan.
