A day after being ranked 19th in MLS' annual 24 under 24 countdown, it was business as usual for Earthquakes midfielder Fatai Alashe.
After battling in a short-sided game in Tuesday’s training session, Alashe and his teammates migrated to the south end of the field for finishing. Whether he missed the frame or slotted his shot past the goalkeeper, the second-year midfielder continued to work on his craft, a drive that has ultimately rewarded the Michigan State alum with his first appearance on the 24 under 24 list.
“It’s pretty cool,” Alashe admitted.
