After over a decade with Kyle Beckerman as the undisputed team captain, Albert Rusnak was tasked to fill some big shoes in 2021. It wouldn’t be the first time the Slovakian attacker took on replacing an RSL legend, having been signed to take Javier Morales’ spot in 2017.
The start of the season did not go well for Rusnak. He struggled on the field and did not provide a goal or an assist until June. The fanbase was unhappy with him, and not without reason.
Then he was not included in the Slovakia National Team’s Euros squad.
