FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Three games is an admittedly small sample size, but 270 minutes into his New England Revolution career, Carles Gil has been as advertised.
The diminutive Spaniard has scored all three of the Revolution’s goals this season, including the first brace of his career in last weekend’s loss in Toronto. In doing so, Gil became just the third player in club history – joining Taylor Twellman in 2007 and Zack Schilawski in 2010 – to score three goals through the first three games of a campaign.
Gil’s exploits have already earned the adulation of fans and the respect of national media, but there is perhaps no group more impressed with the 26-year-old’s abilities than his teammates.
