You can already guess who made the above statement. Brenden Aaronson, now a force to be reckoned with in the MLS, started his football journey when he was ten years old. And from his days at Union Juniors, CONCACAF, and the Premier League, he has had no other ambition than to be a better version of himself with the next game.
Considering the fact that he came from a family of footballers, one can even conclude that he probably had the round leather game in his blood.
His outstanding performance on the field earned him the nickname ‘Medford Messi,’ which was the fans’ attempt to describe how his terrific skills resemble those of the legendary soccer star, Lionel Messi. Medford was his hometown, and Messi the personality that he mirrored. Hence, the name.
