Soccer Stories: Joao Morelli the New Number 10 for the HFX Wanderers - a podcast by Andrew Murray

Here’s the deal, ever since the Wanderers signed Joao Morelli, I’ve been so excited to see him play.

When they first made the announcement, I did what I’m sure every other person did - I checked out his highlight reels.  After watching them, I couldn’t believe that he was coming to play for us, I was so happy.

So last week when we had the chance to sit down with him and talk about his soccer journey (his career in Brazil, England and Estonia before coming to Halifax) I thought this was just awesome!

Interestingly enough, Joao Morelli is also one of the first people I’ve interviewed who plays the same position as me, a CAM (when I’m not an inverted winger) and I couldn’t wait to talk to him more about being a number 10!  Joao has some great advice for other number 10's.

We also talked about how he thrives under pressure, what we can expect from him this year with the Wanderers and I think there is a lot to learn from his story about commitment, sacrifice, and what it takes to play professionally.

So grab a seat and have a listen to this interview.

Warning, we laugh a lot.
