Final Exams: Yamil Asad

Related Topics: Yamil Asad

Yamil Asad opened the season with the first goal in club history and continued to be fantastic the rest of the season, establishing a reputation as an one of the team’s (and league’s) most underrated players, and inspiring a burgeoning #SignAsad movement as he nears the completion of his loan spell from Argentine-side Velez-Sarsfield. Normally, as a player develops a reputation as “underrated”, the constant referencing of his underrated status leads to the player becoming overrated by the sheer brute force of word of mouth. In Asad’s case, he might have been better than any of us realized.
