CHESTER, Pa. – Eager to speak his mind, unafraid to show his emotions, brash yet unpretentious, confident but quick to point out a slight, Alejandro Bedoya is a natural fit in Philadelphia. The Unioncaptain isn’t from Philly, but his honesty, heart and demanding style make him of the city in a way every club wishes for their leader.
His personality has always been a match here, and now, two years after he signed a Designated Player deal with the Union following almost eight years in Europe, the South Florida native feels at home in Southeastern Pennsylvania.
