Sport nationMateusz Klich Enjoying Life in MLS: “Weather is Better” in Washington DC
Former Leeds United midfielder Mateusz Klich has expressed his delight with his decision to join DC United in the MLS. In an interview with The Athletic, Klich revealed that he’s enjoying life in Washington DC, citing the better weather as one of the advantages.
Klich spent six years at Elland Road, becoming a cult hero with his committed displays. He was part of the Leeds side that won promotion to the Premier League and impressed in their first season back. However, his time at Leeds came to an end in January 2023, with many questioning the decision to let him go.
The Polish midfielder’s departure from Leeds was met with surprise, given his experience and influence on the team. Despite this, Klich has settled seamlessly into life in the MLS. His move to DC United has proven to be a shrewd decision, with the 34-year-old thriving in the American capital.
On his move to the MLS, Klich said: “I told my agent that if I ever went to the U.S., which was the plan from years ago, that I wanted to live in a good city and explore the country, so I could enjoy living here. Everything came together and it became a good plan.”
Klich’s comments highlight the appeal of the MLS for European players. With its growing reputation and attractive lifestyle, the league is becoming an increasingly popular destination. The opportunity to experience a new culture and way of life has clearly been a draw for Klich.
Now in his second year with DC United, Klich remains a key player despite his advancing years. His experience and leadership have been invaluable to the team. With 30 appearances this season, Klich continues to demonstrate his commitment and dedication to the sport.
The midfielder’s adaptability has been impressive, adjusting to the MLS’s unique style and demands. His vision and passing range have been particularly influential, controlling the tempo of games and creating scoring opportunities for his teammates.
