Daily News | Union analysis: Jim Curtin promises he’ll rotate the lineup more, but will he actually do it this time?
, Curtin made one after Cherundolo’s first, by force because of Olivier Mbaizo’s red card. But the series’ aggregate score was 2-1 to LAFC at that point, meaning just one Union goal would have swung everything in their favor.
Cherundolo made two more subs before Curtin made his next move. One of the arrivals, Kwadwo Opoku, went on to score the goal that upped the aggregate to 3-1. The other, José Cifuentes, assisted on LAFC’s final tally of the night.Teams are allowed five substitutions per game. The Union have played 15 games across all competitions this year, the most of any MLS team, and Curtin has made five substitutions in just three of them. He has made four subs in a game on only four other occasions.
Then, finally, there will be a 17-day break for Concacaf’s Nations League semifinals and the start of the Gold Cup. “To put the amount of mileage on your body, physically and mentally, it’s tough,” Union midfielder and captain Alejandro Bedoya said. “How do you avoid burnout? It’s just trying to stay mentally strong, and physically doing the right things: watching what you’re eating, making sure you get enough sleep — which is tough on these long flights — and then also just making sure you’re getting treatment.
“I’m a competitor, you know, so I’m ready to play whenever,” he said. “That type of stuff is not my decision, but of course, we will probably talk about it. You look at the numbers and data, I’m still the guy that covers the most ground every game and puts the work in.”
