Sporting Kansas City veterans Matt Besler, Chance Myers Laud Peter Vermes' Winning Leadership

"The thing I care about is winning; I want to win championships." —Peter Vermes

That mindset didn't change even after becoming the winningest manager in club history as Sporting Kansas City took down rivals Real Salt Lake in the U.S. Open Cup semifinal Wednesday evening.

It's been a recording-breaking season thus far for Sporting KC: Vermes's side is in the midst of their longest home unbeaten streak, and they've set U.S. Open Cup attendance records in the 4th and 5th round, quarterfinals, and semifinals. But those achievements hardly cross manager Vermes's mind.
