There is no bigger story to FC Dallas’ transfer signings than… Christian Cappis.
No, Lucho Acosta, as heralded as his arrival was, did not have the same impact as Cappis this season.
In fact, Acosta is gone, and Cappis is now anchoring a resurgent midfield.
But Christian Cappis, who at one point in his young career wanted to sign for FC Dallas but was slotted somehow into Houston Dynamo’s territory (bizarre, I know), returned to Frisco at the right time after a solid number of years with various Scandinavian teams. That experience abroad no doubt seasoned him and helped him grow as a professional.
His leadership was needed.
I asked head coach Eric Quill after FC Dallas’ win over Austin FC about the midfielder and the qualities he possesses that has helped turn this ship around. Quill was more than happy to oblige, speaking especially about the leadership of the midfielder. Cappis has helped some of the younger guys, including Kaick, organize the midfield, find space, and develop. In fact, as we have mentioned on the pod, when Cappis is subbed off, FC Dallas suffers.
Listen to Quill and his glowing report on what Christian has brought to the Burn.
