... that he won it multiple times.

I didn't realize Preki's the only other person to have won it twice.

So maybe it's the Lionel Messi, Landon Donovan MLS MVP award presented by Preki and Continental Tire.

[laughs]

We good with that?

Uh, I, I love to hear all that.

Uh, I have to imagine it helps that, uh, Preki is here.

Preki is apparently a player that he, uh, idolized as a, as a youth, or he was certainly familiar with at least.

I guess one of the, the things that was notable when he went to Kansas City is he talked about Preki's time with the Kansas City Wizards, and how he was this legend, and how he sort of maintained a relationship with him.

Uh, Preki is, of course, the Sounders assistant currently.

And, uh, and I have to imagine that that helps in all of this.

The Sounders also have another Serbian player, Niko Lapetic.

Happy belated birthday.

Could you talk a little bit more about who you are outside of soccer? We know that you're a chess master, that you're very good with the Rubik's Cube, and also that like if there was that Serbian connection, if it made any easier for you to come here having Preki and Nikola.

So kind of just getting to know you more.

I mean, yeah, besides soccer, I like to play chess.

Uh, I can't imagine it hurts that there's already a Serbian on the team and Nikola Petkovic.

I would imagine that it helps that Preki is a kind of like a Serbian hero.

So I don't know.

I like this move a lot.
