An orchestra master! Carles Gil shone on Wednesday night, when New England beat Thiago Almada’s Atlanta United 2-1 at home. The Spanish midfielder gave a magical goal assist and was one of the figures on the pitch. With this victory, the blue box does not lose track of the leader of the Eastern Conference, FC Cincinnati.
Gil confirmed again in this match what everyone already knew, that he has a talent like few other players in Major League Soccer. The Revolution captain not only serves as an assistant, but runs the length of the court looking for the ball to generate play, regain possession and, at times, defend.
The Bruce Arena team has several important figures that have been key to the team being in the top positions in the East: Gustavo Bou, Giacomo Vrioni, DeJuan Jones, goalkeeper Petrovic, among others. But the great figure is undoubtedly Carles Gil.
In fact, his level is so high at this point in the season that the midfielder was called up to be part of the All Star team that will face Arsenal on July 19, in Washington DC. It is the third time in a row that the Spaniard has been called up for the MLS all-star game.
The director of the New England orchestra accumulates 17 appearances in goals this season, seven goals and 10 assists. In fact, with the assist against Atlanta United this Tuesday night, Gil adds his fourth season with at least 10 assists, joining Nicolás Lodeiro (five) and Luciano Acosta (four) as the only active players on this list. with this record.
The Revolution was enough with 12 minutes
New England barely needed 12 minutes to defeat Atlanta in one of the most entertaining games of the 25th round of the MLS. At minute 4 the first goal of the locals fell thanks to
a superb shot low to the ground by Matt Polster after a defensive clearance from the visitors.
8 minutes later, Carles Gil began a masterful play: he threw a pipe and then gave Italian Giacomo Vrioni an exquisite assist so that he could get past the goalkeeper and define with all the peace of mind in the world.
The discount goal for the “5-stripes” fell in the epilogue of the match, at 93′, by Machop Chol.
