OneGoal.us Interview with Sebastian Saucedo of Pumas U.N.A.M (Liga MX)

The OneGoal guys interview Sebastian Saucedo for the website a few weeks back.

In 2019, Sebastian Saucedo (23) surprised many US fans when he left Real Salt Lake, his hometown club, for Liga MX side Club Universidad Nacional, more commonly known as Pumas. Following his move south of the border, Saucedo started scoring goals for his new team as early as January thanks to the scheduling of his new league. Come March, Saucedo was named to the yet-to-be-postponed USMNT Olympic Qualifying roster. 

With no games coming back in the immediate future, we took some time to catch up with the former RSL Academy stand out turned Liga MX winger. 

In nearly an hour of complete honesty, Saucedo talks about his early days playing soccer, his success at Pumas so far, why leaving RSL was the right decision, a call from USMNT head coach Gregg Berhalter in January and why more American talents out of the ‘97 age group could have made it in Europe.
