Let’s take a look at Sporting Kansas City’s newest offensive focal piece, Alan Pulido. His stats from 2020 can be found here, as well as a high and low from the season. I echo the low being his missed time, as his full contribution to the offense doesn’t quantify as well as other players. Here we go.
Look, we all know Alan Pulido is good at soccer, but I was having trouble explaining why until I read Alan Shearer’s commentary in an article from The Athletic. Alan Shearer (lots of Alans, sorry) is the Premier League’s all-time leading goal scorer and knows a thing or two about forwards.
