MLS INSIDER, presented by adidas: “For Blood and Country”
On the field, Blas Perez is one of those players that opponents hate to play against. With his penchant for big goals, big challenges and big controversy, he has earned more than his fair share of enemies around the league.
Off the field, it’s a different story. The 34-year-old FC Dallas and Panama national team striker is a devoted family man, fiercely proud of his children, his club and his country.
The latest edition of MLS Insider takes a look at the softer side of Perez, offering a rare view of the hardnosed forward as a humble son who honors his father with every goal and a doting dad who supports his own child as he works his way through the FC Dallas Academy.
