Atlanta United star Aleksei Miranchuk joined GOAL Convo to talk beating Miami, his goals going forward, and his new home's music
Aleksei Miranchuk is a hometown hero. The Atlanta United midfielder returned to Sloviansk-on-Kuban - a town of 50,000 in the southwest of Russia this winter. And just a month removed from his side beating Inter Miami in the MLS Playoffs -- an event that occurred multiple time zones and 6,000 miles away -- his friends and family treated him like footballing royalty.
"Everyone was asking 'how?' How it was there, how it was amazing, and all of those things. The whole world was following the game," Miranchuk toldIt's a question that has been on most people's lips for months. Atlanta, remember, didn't have a full-time coach at the time. They were led by a 40-year-old goalkeeper in Brad Guzan and a marquee signing, Miranchuk, who had spent less than three months in the United States."From day one I felt a really warm welcome.
