Successful dribbles: 32. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Norwich City come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and FC Cincinnati did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

David Douděra signs a new deal
“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” David Douděra commits to FC Cincinnati for another 5 years.

A row about effort at FC Cincinnati
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Evander was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
