Raúl Ruidíaz is just a few practices into his Seattle Sounders career. A few things stick out immediately when you are able to watch a couple of them.
First impressions:
The first thing you notice about Raul Ruidiaz is that he’s faster than everyone on the field when he wants to be. His first step and acceleration are really special. His directional change of pace is also elite, creating separation from defenders within two steps, showing fantastic agility. His “pass and move” is impressive, and as soon as the ball leaves his foot he is three steps toward where he wants to be.
