Felipe Gutierrez has been an integral part of Sporting Kansas City’s midfield since his arrival ahead of the 2018 season. Over the course of several months since then, the Chilean has become increasingly comfortable with his English, raising a family in Kansas City and the demands of Major League Soccer.
With that contentment comes a palpable relaxation and charisma, which Gutierrez demonstrated in abundance during a wide-ranging discussion on The Sporting KC Show Podcast with hosts Nate Bukaty and Carter Augustine.
Gutierrez was one of the stars in Saturday’s match, scoring two goals, but this particular interview centered on his upbringing in Chile and his fascinating life off the pitch.
