Giuseppe Rossi breaks 850 days of waiting in Real Salt Lake

“Two years and two months since the last time I played 45 minutes. It felt good. I got in a couple preseason games where I played a little bit more, but it’s always different when you’re playing for something more important", said Rossi after the game. It was not easy for ex Fiorentina to get through this process.

"It Felt good to be on the pitch, felt good to fight, felt good to feel as If I’m part of the team", he added. Now, Rossi's new aim is to recover 100% his physical condition in order to be again available for coach Freddy Juarez.

The striker also talked about how he felt in pitch:"It was good. I wish I got on the ball more. I felt like there were some spaces, there were some times where I could’ve been a little more decisive. There are a lot of things that happen in the game”.
