Jake Rozhansky vividly remembers defending Carles Gil when Revs II scrimmaged the first team earlier this year.
It went something like this: Gil lured Rozhansky close to the ball, tempting him to bite––and the Revs II midfielder took the bait. In a flash, Gil took a deft, last-second touch away from Rozhansky that left him dead in his tracks.
“Next time [Gil] got the ball, I was like ‘alright, I’m just going to back up three steps and let him have it,’” Rozhansky laughed.
Rozhansky knows that the level of MLS is a step up from USL League One.
