Ruídiaz coach denies Reynoso: “We never put him to cover the first post” | VIDEO

Brian Schmetzer, technical director of the Seattle Sounders, countered Juan Reynoso by explaining how he uses Raúl Ruidíaz when defending a corner kick. After Brazil’s goal against Peru in the Qualifiers, the coach of the Peruvian team argued that the ‘Flea’ had been covering the first post in the corners in the MLS. The national attacker’s own strategist in the United States spoke about this and his response gave something to talk about.

“We never have Raúl cover the space at the near post to defend any set piece play. That will be my only comment”said Brian Schmetzer, coach of the Sounders, in dialogue with Pulso Sports.

However, the American coach clarified that Reynoso can use Ruidíaz in more than one facet. “Raúl has many qualities and the Peruvian coach has the right to put him wherever he wants”, he added when asked about the subject.
