After completed three parties, DC United might have nine points. The reason?, so much the first meeting as in the second one, the rojinegros rose with the advantage, before Los Angeles in the début for 2 to 0, and against Chicago for the minimal account.
Nevertheless, in both meetings the of the capital ones lost the initial advantage and had to be content to distribute points. Against Houston the script was similar, thanks to the goal of Luciano Emilio (who already takes three reveilles in three parties) DC opened the scoreboard, but in the last minutes tile us they attacked cruelly, not in minor measurement thanks to his advantage man after the expulsion of Jaime Moreno.
When everything was indicating that the United would note down a new tie, the team could support the concentration and remain with three points.
What indicates us all this?, that DC has found the way to the early goal in the period and that the defense, the big doubt at the beginning of 2009, is expiring with his roll.
One of the new players who have contributed positively the team is Rodney Wallace. Native to Costa Rica, Wallace had a very good period in 2008 with the Terrapines of the University of Maryland, quines they conquered the national title. This meant that the Costa Rican one was chosen in the university draft by the rojinegros. Hence to the titular team only it took a pair of months.
“ It has been a good experience. I am very happy in DC United. I am satisfied for my partners, with the staff, with the form in which I am playing and until now everything goes according to the planned”, he says who has taken possession of the band izquerda.
Wallace admits that the first two parties of the period were difficult (to him they marked the penalty for a hand in the area in the début with THE Galaxy, which at last Landon Donovan turned). “Very well, sometimes things happen and unfortunately the first two parties ended in tie when we might have ended with six points. But we had a good party against Houston, the noqueamos and our defense played an important roll in this. In spite of being with a man less, we play in intelligent form, burn minutes and remain with the victory”.
Wallace has impressed not only for his skill be already in the mark as in the attack, but also for his speed. “I feel comfortable with all the facets of my game. It does not matter in what position it plays, because I will always give the best thing of me. At a professional level one must feel comfortable in the whole court”.
This Saturday, DC United will travel to Utah to face Real Salt Lake, who until now have noted down a defeat in the début, before the new sensation of the MLS, Seattle Sounders, but that then surprised the current champion Columbus Crew, them humiliating for 4 1.
Nevertheless Wallace does not prove to be intimidated. “There are a good team. They move well the ball. But we should no have problems, we have a good team, I believe that we are ready to face them”.
