WASHINGTON — C.J. Sapong's current good form with the Union hasn't come just because of his move from striker to winger. Jim Curtin admitted after Wednesday's win at D.C. United that a few weeks ago, the manager told the player he was being demoted.
"The word I used was, it's time to 'reset,'" Curtin said. "I think it clicked with him."
"Getting that confirmation from your coach, that lets you know that he does see all the other little things that you do, [and] definitely gives you an extra confidence boost," he said.
Curtin first moved Sapong out wide as a second-half substitute in the U.
