Miazga has been described as an “unknown,” so in the hopes of educating fans and media alike, here are some facts about Miazga that need be to be spread far and wide.

-He is as tall as four and a half Lionel Messis.

-His parents are Polish and he has one cap for Poland’s U-18 team, but he decided to represent the U.S. because he didn’t want to play in front of Wojciech Szczesny.

-Thierry Henry retired just so he wouldn’t have to face Miazga in New York Red Bulls training sessions anymore.

-It has always been his dream to “see the world,” so he signed with Chelsea in the hopes of being loaned all over it.
