In May 2019, the name of one Erling Haaland was heard for the first time. An unknown 18-year-old striker, owned by Salzburg, scored nine goals in a U-20 World Cup meeting to become the second player with more so many in … An official match in the history of football, only behind the thirteen targets of the Australian Archie Thompson against Samoa in the biggest win of history between selections (31-0). What has achieved by the Norwegian since then is well known, but for a few weeks he will have to settle for the third drawer of the podium in the list of higher scoring actions. The culprit, CHASE ADAMS.
The 16 -year -old American, striker of the Columbus Crew subsidiary, He scored ten goals In the overwhelming beating of the U-17 American team on the Virgin Islands of the United States by 22-0, a classification meeting for the World Cup. Six with his right leg, three with the left -handed and one head, the vast majority at the first touch, all of them a few meters from the goal, in the natural habitat of 9. The collaboration of a much lower rival is necessary for a performance of these characteristics, but the precedent of Haaland invites you to think that only those chosen have at their disposal some records such as those achieved by Adams, whose football life has turned a 90 minutes.
Born in 2008, before yesterday as who says, in the city of Naperville, 50 kilometers from Chicago, his first great influence in the world of football was his father and coach at his school, Troy, and his first idols, the players instructed by his parent. He demonstrated an unusual talent for the goal early, which instead of assuming an advantage became a problem. At four years, his manifest superiority about the rest of the children caused their League expulsion. “The parents said: ‘We cannot have it there, it is too good and does not let our children play’, so we had to look for a more competitive league,” says Adams in ‘Goal’.
At that age he did not perceive the difference with his companions, but when he fulfilled the six springs he began to notice that his quality was well above the average. Moment in which Troy appeared to keep his feet on the floor and help him take another step. «My father did a great job controlling me, because I always wanted to mark and keep marking. Many times, and that is why I am who I am today, made me understand that you cannot dominate only physically. When you are older, everyone will reach you. He limited me. You can’t just suck the ball and run. You have to learn to play intelligence ».
Despite the proximity with the largest city of Illinois, Chicago Fire did not bet enough to get the Adams services, something that did Columbus Crew to transfer the young American talent to Ohio. After joining the lower categories of the set of gold and black in 2023, at age 15 he was not only in the dynamics of the subsidiary, but was appointed All-Star a few months after competing in the MLS Next Pro, the American Development League. A few weeks ago he was summoned for the first time with Columbus’s first team. Although his expected debut has not yet occurred, it was a sample of the confidence they have in the franchise in the player in which Chase Adams can be converted. A footballer who wants to be remembered beyond the man who beat Haaland’s record with a ten goals. «A party will not decide my future during, hopefully, the next 15 years. I hope it’s an opportunity to demonstrate what I can do in the future».
