Breaking a dry spell, and breaking records
Center forward. Number nine. Striker. Whatever parlance you prefer, there is no position in team sports that is more closely tied to a single statistic.For other positions on the soccer pitch, the demands are more subjective, more abstract. Creativity. Physicality. Decision-making. These things are often in the eye of the beholder.
But on Saturday night, making an increasingly rare start due to first-choice striker Diego Rubio’s suspension for yellow card accumulation, Zardes erased 12 months of frustration in 25 minutes of game action. From a personality standpoint, it’s impossible not to like Zardes. If there’s a more approachable, more courteous, and more positive presence in the Verde locker room, this columnist has yet to meet him.
Much of it stems from what many American soccer fans would label an underwhelming national team career, in which Zardes spent much of 2015-22 as a starting striker for the United States . “It’s a great feeling,” Zardes said. “All the hard work over the years, all the teammates that have helped me.”
