RSL’s Sam Johnson speaks out after 2-1 loss: “They have to trust me”

Real Salt Lake forward Sam Johnson, after a goalscoring performance on Saturday in the club’s 2-1 loss to LA Galaxy, described his unhappiness with the state of the club.

“I’m not really feeling happy,” he told a TV reporter following the conclusion of the match, according to RSL Communications. “I have to express myself now. I’m just doing a run around for the guys. Even when training it’s difficult for me to get the ball from them.”

It’s not a good look for the club when their second-leading goalscorer — first in goals from non-penalty situations — comes out following a difficult loss with statements about the inability of the team to get him the ball.
