Justin Meram isn’t too worried about his goal-scoring drought.
The mentality comes with years of MLS experience.
He’s taken 26 shots — five on target — and hasn’t found the back of the net. During Orlando City’s training sessions, he stays late to work on finishing. He’s not stressed about scoring his first goal, he’s in Orlando to win.
“I have many goals in my career and many assists, but I’ve never had six wins in a row, going for seven,” Meram said.
In that sense, Meram’s season has been a success, so far. He hasn’t scored, but he’s got three assists and likely would have had a fourth if Yoshi Yotún wasn’t brought down in the penalty area after Meram found the midfielder with a sensational backheel.
