2017 Player Reviews: Shkëlzen Gashi
Shkëlzen Gashi’s first full season in MLS was, by most accounts, a rousing success. Gashi scored 9 goals and bagged 4 assists in 26 regular season games, plus nabbed the equalizer against the LA Galaxy at home in playoffs to force the game to PKs and eventually push the team through to the MLS Semi-Finals. Gash also won Goal of the Year for a picture-perfect free kick. This is how you DP.
... this team also defends front to back, as is the mandate of boss Pablo Mastroeni. Players like Marlon Hairston and Shkelzen Gashi were tremendous at harassing teams into high turnovers in 2016, and I imagine we’ll see more of that this year.
