Fire and brimstone don’t always snap sports teams out of losing skids. Indeed, such tactics sometimes backfire.
But it was clear to everyone who watched the Union’s 2-0 home loss to Orlando City on Friday that a lot of things didn’t work right. Veteran midfielder Haris Medunjanin wasn’t afraid to say so, taking up most of his postgame press conference with criticism of his team’s performance.
Medunjanin isn’t known as a shouter, or even a verbal rallier of the troops. The philosophical approach that guides his pinpoint passing extends to his manner off the field as well.
