Brighton striker Locadia hails Cincinnati fans: More judgmental in Europe

Cincinnati FC striker Jurgen Locadia has spoken of the differences between MLS crowds and those in Europe.

Locadia joined Cincinnati FC in January on-loan from Brighton.

He said, "Stadiums are much bigger than in Europe, and I think the fans' approach is different too. Here in the United States, fans enjoy the matches more, and in Europe I feel that people are more judgmental about the game.

"In the US, they come and enjoy the match, watch the players and drink a beer. In Europe it is more 'we are forced to win', and then we are judged.

"They do not like it when playing the ball back to the goalkeeper."
