It has often been said that the 2017 version of the Real Salt Lake roster may contain the best depth the team has had in its 13-year existence. That depth was put to the test immediately against Toronto FC this past Saturday, as Jeff Cassar used David Horst and Chris Wingert in the defense in place of the injured Aaron Maund and Demar Phillips.
Wingert is playing his tenth season for RSL this year and will turn 35 in June this year. He’s never been the fastest player on the field, having said himself in past interviews that he relies on his tactical knowledge of the attacking opponents to position himself correctly and keep the ball in front of him as much as possible.
