http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/DC-United-c38901 are keen to give their new signing, Dwayne de Rosario, a chance to impress at the earliest. Provided his fitness allows, chances are strong that the Canadian veteran will challenge Philadelphia Union come Saturday.
The Union are scheduled to visit Washington DC on July 2 to face DCU at RFK Stadium. While the U, in their sophomore MLS year, are sitting atop the Eastern Conference, the 5th placed United plan to enter the field with full strength.
The eagerness was evident in the practice session on Thursday when the full roster hit the training ground with eleven-a-side full-field training. DeRo was placed in the attacking midfield between playmaker http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Charlie-Davies-c8841 and
Josh Wolff.
Just three days into his new environment, the player was already gelling with the players on the pitch.
Excited to see de Rosario in action, head coach Ben Olsen had a simple statement to make.
“We've got him to use him,” he said. “It’s great. He’s saying all the right things and doing all the right things right now. He’s integrated with the group right now. It’s a great addition for us.”
This is DCU’s third outing against Philly and second one at home. The two sides remain evenly matched as both won their respective home games last season.
Owing to the sublime performances shown by the Union, topped by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Los-Angeles-Galaxy-c39818. Olsen does not want DCU to fall victim to it, and de Rosario
provides the perfect solution to the problem.
The United have been lacking the killer instinct of late, owing to the lack of consistency in the attacking third. The five-time MLS All-Star offers exactly that.
Charlie Davies, who will be missing the company of his close friend http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dax-McCarty-c10719, admitted to the deficiencies in the forward line and welcomed the new signing.
“He’s a piece that we were lacking to really make our team that much more dangerous, that much more dynamic,” Davies said. “For guys like Wolff and I, it’s a dream for a player like that to come to our team, because we’re strikers that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Love-c22466 to make runs
in behind, keep defenses honest.”
For the Canadian international, the transfer came out of the blue, but induction to a storied club like the Black and Red would remain a welcome change.
“I came here to make an immediate impact and hopefully I can do that come Saturday, whether that’s to start or come off the bench,” De Rosario said.
He will be looking forward to address the dire need of creativity in the field when his outfit lock horns with the Union.
