19-year-old RealSaltLake winger Diego Luna is coming off a two-goal performance in a win over New York.
It took the Real Salt Lake winger just two minutes into Saturday night’s game to find the bottom right corner of the net.As the 19-year-old danced over the ball in front of a helpless goalie, it felt to him like an eternity.
“The ceiling is high for Luna,” Mastroeni said. “He’s got a lot of tools that you can’t teach, that are innate in the way his brain works about soccer, the passes he that he makes, the way he sees the game.” There were disruptions in his schedule as he left RSL each month to train and play with the United States’ U-20 team. There was a pinch on playing time in Salt Lake. There were other things, too.
“It was just finding our DNA,” Luna said of RSL finding its form of late. “I think it’s it’s always been there, but … I think we’re getting on the right path. And I think we’re just gonna keep building that and making it stronger because I don’t think we’re, we’re close to where we can be.”The teen said he still feels most comfortable playing as an attacking midfielder but is acclimating to playing on the wing for RSL.
