Real Salt Lake manager Jason Kreis has praised the forward line up in his team by saying that they have been largely responsible for the impressive start to the season for his club. Real Salt Lake have made a strong start to the new campaign and they are currently top of the table after having taken 34 points from their opening 19 matches. They already have a three-point advantage over second placed Dallas. Players like Robbie Findley, Joao Plata, and Devon Sandoval have been hugely impressive.

Olmes García was recently named as the MLS Player of the Week in recognition with his performances. After the recent 3-1 win over LA Galaxy, Kreis said that he has been extremely overjoyed with the performance of his forwards. They have not only been important to the team in terms of scoring goals, but they have also done their fair share of tracking back as well. This has allowed the team to win back possession and go on the offensive sooner than before.

All the four strikers in the team were involved in the match against LA Galaxy, but Kreis has said that tiredness will not be an issue for his team when they take on Charleston Battery in the US Open Cup game.

“It is so critical to the way that we play and the way that our forwards put in that type of effort to gain us ground. Even if they don’t win the ball, if they’re up there pressing defenders to knock the ball over their own end line, or over the sideline, now we’ve gained a ton of space. And as good as we can be in possession, that means a lot. If we can be in their half the field possessing it and creating chances, that means a lot,” said Kries.
