The injury of Leo Campana will force the New England Revolution to rely on the depth to secure three points in the coming games.

Campana was replaced in the first half of the Nil-Nil ancestors in New England with the earthquakes in San Jose from the field. After the game, the head coach of Revolution Caleb Porter confirmed that it was a thigh injury, the same injury that forced the striker to miss part of the start of the season.

Outside of Carles Gil, Campana was probably the best attacking player. He is the only player next to Gil who has scored several goals.

Luis Diaz replaced the striker and stopped a quality layer. Instead of trying to attack defenders in one-V-one scenarios, Diaz decided to try to use its speed to break lines and create opportunities.

In 58 minutes, Diaz had 24 touches (three in the opponent's box) and won seven duels together with one chance. Especially for a player who is thrown into the match in the first half, it is difficult to arrange Diaz for his performance.

While Campana's future status remains unknown, the depth of New England is likely to be tested. Since Tomas Chalancalay plays less than 10 minutes, he still seems to have some time before starting again and Luca Langoni is on the sidelines with an injury for a week in his 2-4 weeks.

This means that Maxi Urruti and Diaz have to rise in their absence, since they probably have to enter the start -xi and Ignatius Ganago must be a more productive goal scorer.

After the game, Porter mentioned that the loss of so many players violated the ability to attack New England.

“So, with Leo [Campana] out, Tomas [Chancalay] and maxi [Urruti] Not able to play big minutes, and Luca Langoni is certainly not available that this is violated today our attack ” [Campana] And [Ignatius] Ganago to start or whoever we start, and then we have juice with Tomás [Chancalay] and maxi [Urruti] and Luca [Langoni]. They often know that the subs is those who unlock the game. So we didn't have that today. “

Thanks to its speed, Diaz is the perfect super -Sub and Urruti is more suitable to get from the bank at its age. It was not expected to start many games, but they have injuries and will now continue to receive a selection in the Start XI.

While New England currently has an undefeated series with six games, it is still 11 in the Eastern Conference. The speeds may be a point from the game positions with a game in hand, but a slump could see how the club returns to the low of the Eastern conference rating.
