On Saturday July, 23, 2022, Ilie Sanchez will make his return to Children’s Mercy Park. Ilie spent five years at Sporting KC becoming a fan favorite with his incredible passing range and his sincere kindness off the pitch. So in preparation for his return, he went to training. He watched some film. He did some stretching. And he sat down to chat with the Shades of Blue.
In an interview that was only supposed to last for 10-15 minutes, we chatted for almost 30. Tears may or may not have been shed.
We talked about everything with Ilie.
