Less than a year ago, the Richardson, Texas native was looking forward to making his pro debut for FCD affiliate North Texas SC in USL League One—the third tier of American soccer. Fast forward 10 months and Che is journeying from his home at the FC Bayern campus in Munich to join up with the senior U.S. Men’s National Team in Switzerland. Oh, and he’s still just 17. Glad to have you with us, @MatthewHoppe9 and @JustinChe6! ������ “The last few months have been a blessing for me,” Che told FCDallas.com. “It’s been a time when I can really push my football career forward. I knew the sacrifices I would need to make starting from a young age. Seeing my dad play professionally and him telling me all the stories and what he had to go through, moving away from his family. So, I was up to the challenge from a young age. I never expected to move this fast just at 17. But life has its own course and you just have to push with it.”
