A letter from captain Matt Besler to Sporting Kansas City fans

We’re at what most people would consider the halfway point of the season (even though we’ve only played 15 games and have 19 left) and I feel it’s important for every Sporting fan to hear this. One thing I’ve learned in this profession is if you want to be successful, everyone needs to be on the same page. That means having real, honest and sometimes difficult conversations. And since I’ve always viewed you as a vital part of our team, it’s important you’re a part of this conversation.

I believe we started the year well. Every player voluntarily came in two weeks early, and we accelerated our preseason faster than ever before in order to give ourselves a chance at making a run in the Concacaf Champions League.
