After years of learning everything he could on the European club level, United States international Benny Feilhaber believes now is the best time to show what he is capable of in Major League Soccer.<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old Brazilian-born midfielder joined the New England Revolution last night after both Chivas USA and the Philadelphia Union passed on him in the allocation draft.<\/p>\n

While abroad, Feilhaber played for Hamburg SV, Derby County and most recently at AGF Aarhus.<\/p>\n

Feilhaber explained in today\u2019s media conference call that his decision to initially play in Europe was to aid his development as a soccer player.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think Europe teaches you things that are tough to learn when you\u2019re playing close to home,\u201d said Feilhaber. \u201cIt\u2019s really all about football. That\u2019s the only reason why I\u2019m in Europe. There\u2019s nothing else. I think you really learn a lot of things.\u201d<\/p>\n

The attacking midfielder, who has scored two goals in 38 appearances for the United States Men\u2019s National Team, believes that MLS will provide stability and a new challenge for him.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think I\u2019m ready to come back,\u201d said Feilhaber. \u201cI think the MLS will do something for me that Europe hasn\u2019t been able to.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Revs were shocked when the team learned that both clubs ahead of them in the allocation draft declined the opportunity to sign Feilhaber. Team vice president of player personnel, Michael Burns, said in the conference call that the option of adding a player of Feilhaber\u2019s ability was too good to pass up on.<\/p>\n

\u201cSpeaking frankly, there\u2019s no way that we thought he was going to be available,\u201d said Burns.<\/p>\n

Head Steve Nicol told reporters after today\u2019s practice that he is excited about the level of experience and quality that Feilhaber brings to the Revs.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of the problems we had last year were a lack of experience and passing the ball,\u201d said Nicol. \u201cHe\u2019s a guy who, without a shadow of a doubt, brings loads and loads of both. It makes sense.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
