CARSON, Calif. – No one is subscribing to the saying ‘New Year, New Me” quite like Gyasi Zardes.
The 26-year-old endured a nightmare 2017 that saw the striker’s season decimated by injuries and ineffectiveness. In just 24 matches, Zardes tallied two goals and two assists as the Galaxy limped to the worst record in Major League Soccer.
The year left Zardes frustrated and eager to do whatever he could to leave it behind him and start anew in 2018.
"I paid attention to my body during the offseason. I had a lot of off time, so I utilized that time to make sure that every single injury that occurred in the past was taken care of," Zardes told reporters after January camp opened on Thursday.
