The team's longtime coach, Sasho Cirovski, is happy that the two young men decided to play for him.
"They're just really special people. And not only do they bring a great amount of soccer talent, but they bring in the locker room, and in the experience, a sense of gratitude and humility. They're just so grateful for the opportunity and really grab every ounce of energy."
