Cornelius savouring European adventure in Greece
His journey took him to clubs in Russia, Germany and Serbia before signing with the Vancouver Whitecaps in January 2019. Then Whitecaps coach Marc Dos Santos called the left-footed centre back “one of the top young players in a new generation of Canadian talent.”
“The team has gone through ups and downs,” said Cornelius. “We started off decently well. We got hit by a lot of injuries over the last few weeks or so, so we’re trying to make it work with a lot of new faces in the team, a lot of change of formation – a lot of just different stuff from what we prepared during the pre-season. But that’s the game.”
“I’m just going to focus on where I am now, focus on each game at a time because you can’t get too far ahead of yourself.” He spent a pre-season with PFC CSKA Moscow in Spain before ultimately starting his European soccer journey first in Germany and then Serbia before returning to Canada with the Whitecaps.
