John Herdman gives his frank assessment of the state of Canada Soccer in the wake of ongoing delays and cancellations to the international fixture list, as well as the mental strain on players and coaching staff alike. He takes us behind the scenes on his conversation with Ayo Akinola, with the young striker still to make his big decision on which national team jersey to wear. Herdman also gives his assessment of rising star ‘hybrid player’ Richie Laryea, and talks about the shift in mentality that’s changing team Canada into a group of ‘winners.’ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
