Carlos "Chile" Farias

After the first three I’ve talked about some of you might be wondering why I haven’t introduced Carlos “Chile” Farias.  It isn’t because I assumed you all knew enough about him, being the Wings big name signing.  It was only because I was waiting to see what he was capable of outside of a training session.  The Black and Orange Scrimmage, which was held on Wednesday the 26^th, provided me and the other 3,000 spectators a chance to view his immense ability.  Before I give you a taste of ‘Chile’, (Weird) here is the story from the BLACK AND ORANGE SCRIMMAGE.

Carlos “Chile” Farias is somewhat of a household name when it comes to indoor soccer in the United States.  He did have two appearances in the MLS for the San Jose Clash, now the San Jose Earthquakes, but his mark has been made on the soccer world from his years of success in the indoor game.  He has played in the CISL, USISL, NPSL,WISL, and MISL.  These are all past or present professional indoor leagues that you can do your own research on.  Chile is a prominent goal scorer.  As the Wings top signing he will be expected to produce and from I see he will always create a spark when needed and finishes his opportunities well.  He has a beautifully weighted touch on the ball.  Every touch he has seems crisper than anyone else’s.  His passes are fluid on the carpet and arrive at their intended target’s feet rolling, not bouncing.  His experience is ever-present; he makes it all look so easy.  He’s one of those players who do more by doing less.  I know it’s a confusing phrase but when you see Chile play you will understand.  He doesn’t force the play when he gets into trouble, he doesn’t leave the defense frantically tracking back after he failed a fancy trick in the corner.  When he does choose to display his foot skills and get a little crafty he usually succeeds and glides by the prospective defender.

Season Prediction:  For the Wings comeback campaign Chile is definitely the favorite to be the team’s top point man.  The strikers for the Wings all have different skills they use to find the back of the net, Jamar Beasely leaks into open space beautifully, and Freddy Moojen puts his back to goal and creates for himself and others.  Chile kind of does it all, he poaches but likes to match up against a defender.  He likes to lead the attack but will definitely expect a return pass if he makes the correct run.  Chile will most likely lead the team in goals, but for total points, my vote goes to Freddy Moojen.
