Real Salt Lake defenders Pablo Ruiz and Justen Glad took turns sending long balls from the side of the goal to a mini goal pushed off the field about 40 yards away, filling breaks in play with their own game at training Tuesday in Sandy.
Glad hit the netting, and Ruiz sent a curling left-footed strike … just off the mark. Glad threw up his hands in celebration and Ruiz shook his head, laughing.
“Even though we speak different languages, we work really well together when we’re on the field, and we get along really well,” Ruiz said of Glad through a translator.
