Sporting Kansas City’s Graham Zusi is no stranger to the MLS Team of the Week. But as a defender? Now that’s a different story.
The four-time MLS All-Star may have been new to the right back position, but his dynamic performance in Sunday’s 1-1 draw against LA Galaxy suggested otherwise.
Typically deployed as a winger in Sporting KC’s 4-3-3 setup, Zusi settled into a fullback role as part of Manager Peter Vermes’ revamped lineup at Children’s Mercy Park. The end result for the U.S. international was a stuffed stat sheet and a spot on MLSsoccer.
