When Alejandro Pozuelo arrived in the spring of 2019, he was an unknown. I remember a few days after he arrived in Toronto, he was walking by himself in the Scotiabank Arena concourse amongst a busy and bustling hockey crowd. He was attending the Maple Leafs game that evening, and I spotted him as he was walking past me. I pointed at him and said, “Alejandro? Welcome to Toronto!” He responded in a hushed tone, “Thank you, gracias.” The Spaniard then offered a handshake, and continued on his way. Little did I know I’d be shaking the hand of a future MLS MVP Award winner.
