Gustavo Bou buying into being team player
Bob DeChiara-USA TODAY Sports Gustavo Bou was unable to find the back of the net on Saturday night, but that didn’t mean that he played poorly.
Playing 89 minutes, the 31-year-old had 58 touches, four chances created (most in the match), and one hell of an assist. It was a display of how much the striker had evolved as a player.
Of course there is one thing that you want your strikers to do, score goals, but there is a fine line between having a shoot-first mentality and being selfish and actually hurting the club. Especially early in his Revolution career Bou was taking a low percentage shot when he could have dished the ball to a teammate.
