What more is there to say about Juan Manuel Martinez? The Argentine has dazzled us all with his technical skill and cheeky individual efforts. He’s schooled some of the best defenders in the league. He’s also shown us how true the expression is that the higher you fly, the farther you fall.
Perhaps there’s more to be said about Burrito than not. Let’s start with the numbers…
In 32 games (29 starts), Martinez led Real Salt Lake in minutes played (2519), was third in goals (7) behind Joao Plata and Yura Movsisyan, and scored on 14.9% of his shots which was good for third on the team as well (as an aside: I’d argue this last point is good for first on the team as only Jordan Allen and Justen Glad were ahead of him as potential outliers).
