Ted Lasso Season 3: AFC Richmond is back to winning ways
1) Glory days are back for AFC Richmond
The released trailer radiated positivity and optimism. It looks like AFC Richmond will be one of the most successful clubs in England. At the end of the previous season, we learned that Lasso had propelled the team into the top flight of English football after months of blood, sweat, and tears.
AFC Richmond is oozing with confidence and is here to take the Premier League by storm. They might register several wins at the highest level and might even compete for trophies.
2) Nate's dilemma
Nate was made the new manager of West Ham United FC at the end of season 2. Nate has worked in AFC Richmond for a long time and has always put the team before his priorities. He and Lasso built a close relationship and were almost inseparable. But their bond gradually began deteriorating and one fine day, Nate decided to quit.
West Ham owner Rupert Mannion hired Nate to get back at Lasso. It's a dream come true for Nate since he is finally able to manage a huge soccer club, but in the back of his mind, he is recalling the wonderful time he had with Lasso and his team back in AFC Richmond.
3) Ted Lasso and his family cheer for Nate
Being the optimist and person Lasso is, in the trailer, is seen cheering for Nate's West Ham from the stands. He and his family are even to don West Ham jerseys during a match.
Despite West Ham and AFC Richmond being bitter rivals, Lasso supports his friend. The way Nate looks at Lasso makes us believe that he misses his old team and wants to return. Nate and Lasso have always shared mutual respect. It's to be seen if Nate can handle a job this big and bring glory to his new team.
