MLS: Preview of Vancouver Whitecaps – Lee Nguyen, Long Tan, Young-Pyo Lee, Jun Marques Davidson

New coach Martin Rennie has a wealth of options on the attacking end, with Sébastien Le Toux, Eric Hassli, Camilo, Davide Chiumiento, 2012 #2 pick overall Darren Mattocks,2011 #1 pick overal Omar Salgado, Atiba Harris, Long Tan and Lee Nguyen, among others in a crowded field. “It isn’t possible to get them all on the field at the same time,” Rennie says, “but I don’t necessarily see Sébastien as a wide player. I think he can play wide, but he can also play through the middle. What you’re going to need over the course of the season is a few different guys who can pop up with goals. We’ve got that firepower and competition for places, which is good, and a number of our attacking players can play in different positions.”

Vancouver also signed long-time Korean National Team player Lee Young-pyo. And then there’s Japanese-born Jun Marques Davidson. That makes 4 asians on a professional North American team. Vancouver starts the season in the MLS season opener on March 10th.
