Liel Abada scores his first Charlotte FC goal 🎯

[Tom Bogert @tombogert]

Charlotte FC club-record signing Liel Abada is available for selection to debut this weekend.

Abada, 22, signed from Celtic this month for around $8m.

[Caleb Adams @itscalebadams]

An interesting Charlotte FC stat after the first four games under Dean Smith.

Charlotte FC currently rank 1st in lowest Expected Goals Allowed (xGA) in the Eastern Conference.

Statistically they have allowed the least amount of scoring opportunities in their conference.

From @CelticFC to Charlotte FC👑

Welcome, Liel Abada!

[Tom Bogert @tombogert]

Sources: Israeli int'l winger Liel Abada has completed his medical ahead of a big transfer to Charlotte FC from Celitc. Deal should be all done within next 24 hours.

Abada will hit Charlotte's roster as a young DP.

The 22 y/o winger a key reinforcement for Dean Smith's group.

[TopBin90 @Topbin90]

Charlotte FC will sign Israeli winger Liel Abada. Deal was finalized yesterday.✅

Big news to start the morning.

[Ashley Mahoney @m_a_h_o_n_e_y]

Charlotte FC leaves Vancouver with a point: 1-1.

2022: 0-2; 0pts
2023: 0-2; 0pts
2024: 1-0-1; 4pts

[CLT FC Insider @CLT_MLS]

Good point on the road. If you can steal 3 against either Toronto or Nashville, we'll be cooking!

[Caleb Adams @itscalebadams]

Dean Smith not happy with the result:

"I'm a bit dissapointed because I felt we could have won the game in the first half... we were by far the better team in the first half."

Also mentioned he was really unhappy with the goal the team conceded.

[TopBin90 @Topbin90]

"We're still in negotiations. We're hoping to have a player within the next 7 days."

Charlotte FC head coach Dean Smith on potential new signings.

[Tom Bogert @tombogert]

Sources: San Jose Earthquakes in advanced talks to sign star free agent Carlos Vela.

Deal not decided/done yet but could get there soon. Almost definitely would be DP deal.

Vela, 35, had 9g/7a in 34 regular season apps (2k mins) last year. LAFC legend. https://t.co/dPyF84zFg5

This isn't Munich or London or Buenos Aires or Rio or Zagreb or Casablanca or Madrid or Barcelona or Amsterdam or Brussels or Glasgow, etc (ALL respect to these mad footballing cities).

This is CHARLOTTE.
MLS.

[CLT FC Insider @CLT_MLS]

This is sweet, shows a ton about the new strategy. Kerwin has a rough patch but we also used him a ton to create on that side of the pitch. Also defensively you can see the identity. Compact in the middle and forcing everything out wide, nothing in behind.

Post-Match report

Charlotte 1-0 NYCFC

[CLT FC Insider @CLT_MLS]

Simple, Direct, and Solid. A welcomed change!

[CLT FC Insider @CLT_MLS]

Living this new style of play. Good with lower possession if it means chances like this!

[CLT FC Insider @CLT_MLS]

@SportsDespair During the whole preseason Urso was referred to as Trialist, happy to have him starting today though!

[CLT FC Insider @CLT_MLS]

Trialist gets the start! Excited to see Tavares and Vargas on the wings! Let's do it!
