Muuss' Take
"Alberto excels in the technical aspects of the game as a central defender and as a center midfielder. We are thrilled to add him to the class as an international player who brings experience starting at an extremely high level in Sweden. Alberto's soccer IQ and composure on the ball aren't common traits you see in many of today's central defenders we typically recruit. I'm excited to get him on campus and start working with him."
