San Jose, CA - During the post-match press conference following the Vancouver Whitecaps 0-3 loss to the San Jose Earthquakes, Head Coach Marc Dos Santos responded to 16 separate questions by simply saying Alphonso Davies’ name.

Dos Santos, whose team is at the bottom of the Western Conference after their 4th straight defeat, showed up at the podium wearing Davies’ Bayern Munich #19 jersey and accompanying scarf. After 16 straight Alphonso Davies responses, Dos Santos was finally asked if he had any idea what he was doing. At that point, the coach proudly held up a Davies Canadian National Team kit and began singing “O’ Canada” at the top of his lungs.

Axel Schuster, Vancouver Sporting Director and CEO, stood in support of his coach repeating the name of their former player.

“Alphonso Davies. ALPHONSO DAVIES. AL. PHON. SO. DAVIES. He plays for Bayern, you know. BAYERN MUNICH, not Bayer Leverkusen. Alphonso Davies career is the pinnacle and greatest achievement of our franchise in Major League Soccer,” Schuster Explained. “We are strongly considering a rebrand to the name Alphonso Davies FC.”

A member of the Whitecaps media team immediately reminded Schuster that the club won the 2015 Canadian Championship which then caused the entire room to erupt into uncontrollable laughter.

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as Dos Santos asks the players to channel the spirit of Alphonso Davies before their next game.
