As the year goes on, RSL might need the new presence to be more often. For now, it's about adjustment. It's knocking off the rust day-by-day to find the rhythm that first attracted RSL to the former FC Groningen midfielder. It's been less than two weeks since he packed up life in the Netherlands and set out for Tucson, Ariz., to join his new club.
He had to jog off the jet lag. Had to find the adequate sleep schedule. New RSL forward Chad Barrett said Rusnák "was running in water" the first few days during RSL's preseason stop in Arizona, but since has started to show his quality in each training session and each preseason outing.
