FC Cincinnati’s Game Plan
Since there’s a chance Acosta might leave, FC Cincinnati is already making moves to get better players. They’re looking at Kevin Denkey from Cercle Brugge who’s really good at scoring and won the Belgian League Golden Boot. They’re willing to spend like 15 million dollars on him which shows how serious they are about getting better at scoring goals.
But the team’s been dealing with some really sad stuff too, like when Marco Angulo who was on loan and his old teammate Roberto Cabezas died in a car crash. It’s been really hard on everyone in the team. If you wanna know more about what happened, you can read about it here Tragic Loss: Marco Angulo and Roberto Cabezas.
