FC Dallas of Frisco, TX identifies Richard Sanchez as a great goalkeeper with excellent talent!

FC Dallas has signed Richard Sanchez, 16-year-old goalkeeper, a standout on the under-17 Mexican national team. Friday, the deal was announced & will move the California native & Texas resident from the FC Dallas developmental program he joined, when he left Spain's Atletico Madrid under-16 squad in 2009.  Sanchez will still have two more years of eligibility left in the Development Academy to give him extra game experience while behind the logjam of goalkeepers in Frisco, TX.  He was recently selected the top goalkeeper at the Universidad Catolica tournament in Chile while playing for the Mexican national youth team.

This week, Sanchez will join Dallas in Orlando, Fla. then will return to the Mexican team on March 6th as part of the preparations for this year's FIFA Under-17 World Cup.  Richard Sanchez is the sixth FC Dallas player signed from its youth program.

"FC Dallas is excited to add Richard Sanchez as our next Home Grown player," FC Dallas head coach Schellas Hyndman said. "I think he is by far the best goalkeeper I have ever seen at this age level, and he’s shown that during his time as a goalkeeper for Mexico’s Under-17 National Team. Being in first team training with Drew Keeshan and absorbing everything he can from a veteran like Kevin Hartman is going to be the best thing that could happen for Richard’s career."

FC Dallas will return home this Sunday to host Toronto for the back end of their series. FC Dallas started off winless in their first three games but managed toget the 1-1 draw against Toronto last Saturday, a game in which they scored their first point of the season. Dallas has never lost to Toronto at Pizza Hut Park, and they don’t plan on giving them the chance.  FC Dallas will also be without goal keeper Daria Sala for 4-6 weeks, due to surgery to repair his ailing left knee.  He had 3 saves in the opening loss to Chicago, and remains second place in club history for career shut outs behind Matt Jordan.   Ray Burse is the back up goalie in place of Sala and has been doing a great job in his absence, only allowing 4 goals, but the main issue is the offense needs to step up to give Burse support.  They have only scored 3 goals this season.  Pablo Richetti scored the goal in the game against Toronto and gave them their first point of the season, and his first MLS career goal.  Look for him to get the motivation he needs, and look for players like Eric Avila to have a strong home opener.   David Ferreira and Kenny Cooper will initiate the attack, and Dax Mccary will be in the midfield.   FC Dallas is resting in 8th place 9 points behind Chivas USA.  This is their worst start in club History, but scoring a point last week is opening the gate, so expect FC Dallas to come home to Pizza Hut Park and turn this season around.

FC Dallas return home bruised but not broken

Richard Davis

 

The FC Dallas squad limps back to Frisco with a mixed bag of results from their South American trip.

The good news: The offensive attack was cohesive, and they managed to score three goals a game.

The bad:  Well, the bad is they gave up four goals a game. To compound their defenses problems, Defender Marcelo Saragosa will have to undergo another surgery on his right knee. It’s doubtful that he has even fully recovered from his last to surgery to repair his medial meniscus.

 

As Steve Hunt /  reported earlier in the week, Andre Rocha showed up to camp in less than stellar shape. Head coach Schellas Hyndman is none too pleased but offered optimism about Rocha’s ability to get into shape fast.

 

The competition they faced in Brazil is a tick above, or at least on par, with what they’ll be facing in the United States, and it is very encouraging for Dallas that they could stay in the games with the international squads.

 

David Ferreira is due to join his teammates in Frisco Friday, if all goes well with his Visa. Anyone who’s counted on a visa will know that problems and holdups occur often.

 

FC Dallas has one more tune up before the season opener.  They take on Club Atletico Paranaense Saturday 03/14 -    7:30 p.m
