When you watch former Fire goalie Gabriel Slonina walk onto a soccer field, it’s easy to forget he’s just 19. Standing 6-foot-4 and around 200 pounds, Slonina carries himself like somebody at least 10 years older.
But Slonina is still a kid, albeit one of the best goalkeeping prospects on the planet trying to make his way with English Premier League mega-club Chelsea. With a place just outside London, Slonina is by himself for the first time after living with his family while he played for the Fire.
