Real Salt Lake’s innate need for dramatic happenings is unparalleled.
The last few weeks at the club have shown this need twice: first, when Danny Musovski refused to train and play for the team owing to a contract dispute, the specifics of which are not known; second, when Jefferson Savarino publicly disputed that he was out of the team for “personal reasons.”
It’s not especially a look you like to see from a team. Combine this with a collapse over the last six weeks (with, yes, a couple wins in there, but it’s indisputably worse from how the team had previously performed) and things feel pretty bad. And then we’ve got … this.
See, we don’t actually know what this one means, but a player tagging an agency with a highlight reel seems, well, off. It’s nothing I’ve seen from an active player in all my time paying far too much attention to this team.
It’s clear that something’s been amiss with Savarino for an extended period of time, given his not traveling for some away matches without a reported injury. Those have often been attributed to “personal reasons” without dispute from Savarino, which makes this one even more interesting.
