SPORTING KC PLAYERS TO WATCH IN 2019 – KRISZTIAN NEMETH

Krisztian Nemeth was sensational in his first year with SKC back in 2015, but has regressed ever since. That storyline seems to be changing this year, though, as the forward is on pace to be the consistently starting striker and an offensive powerhouse for the club.

Nemeth is a technical scorer who fits like a glove in the team’s up-tempo style of play as has been seen so far. His coolness under pressure and ability to find the best scoring opportunities will be of high value to the team this season as long as he can stay healthy.

Of the 12 goals that SKC has earned thus far this season, Nemeth has scored five of them. He is about to have a career-high season, and SKC fans should sit back, grab the popcorn, and enjoy the show.
