How a kid from Hungary became a Sporting KC ‘homegrown’ player ... and its top scorer

Throughout his childhood in Hungary, Daniel Salloi watched American comedy movies. So when he moved to the United States in 2014 as a high school exchange student, he started to relate to a few. He uses one in particular as an analogy.

17 Again.

It’s a teenage comedy with Zac Efron, who stars as a 37-year-old man trapped in a 17-year-old kid’s body. There’s a scene in the movie in which Efron arrives for his first day of school, unsure where to go as students whiz by him. Engulfed by the chaos, Efron is eventually smashed into a locker.
