For Sporting Kansas City, the 2021 MLS season presents a fresh opportunity as younger players emerge to cement themselves at the team's core. That's especially true for Gianluca Busio. The 18-year-old is marking a new phase in career by officially becoming the team's new No. 10, both on the roster and on the pitch.
"I think the first two years I've been playing, it was just more of me being a young guy and getting on the field and scoring a goal every once in a while," Busio told members of the media in a virtual press conference Tuesday.
