Fagundez embracing role as playmaker: “I like creating chances for other players”

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Diego Fagundez wants to score a goal, he just doesn’t need to score a goal.

Nine games into the 2017 season the 22-year-old attacker is still in search of that elusive first tally, but a lack of goals has not prevented Fagundez from being one of the New England Revolution’s most dangerous players through the first two months of the campaign.

Playing primarily as a winger but also finding minutes in a withdrawn role behind the forwards, Fagundez has a team-leading three assists for the Revolution, and he’s created a total of six chances while passing at better than an 80 percent clip (tops amongst New England’s attackers).
