Show Thursday, July 26, 2007 DAILY UTAH CHRONICLE 8 RSL LOOKS TO REINVIGORATE PLAYOFF HOPES WITH A HOME VICTORY continued from Page I Kreis has a clear idea of how his midfielders should play, and Beckerman has been up to the task thus far. "I'm asking (Beckerman) to play right center midfield," Kreis said. "It's a little different than people think typically, but that's the way I want it played." Since Beckerman filled this position, the offense has scored three goals and the defense has yielded only one. Beckerman is not the only player adjusting, or readjusting, to his RSL jersey. Freddy Adu returns to MLS play for the first time since Real's June vj match with the Los Angeles GalaxyWhile with the U.S. Under20 National Team, Adu set fire to the international stage with three goals and two assists. In his first game back with RSL on July 24, Adu scored the team's lone goal on a penalty kick to help RSL draw with South American super-squad Boca Juniors, 1-1. Adu's goal came after he displayed some of his heralded bail-handling skills before being fouled inside the goal box. After finding success with the U.S. U-20 team, the midfielder may have found his rhythm, which bodes well for RSL in the second half of the season. Although discussion of Adu playing in Europe has intensified, the young midfielder remains focused on the task. "Actually, I have no idea what's going on. I've been reading a lot of stuff in the papers, but at this point I just told my agent, 'Just handle everything,"1 Adu said after the draw with Boca Juniors. "I'm just pretty happy and focused right now, and when I'm happy I play my best...the most important thing is me being with Salt Lake and contributing with this team." Eddie Pope's services are once again at Kreis' disposal as the n-time All-Star returns from his final All-Star appearance. The MLS legend announced Midfielder Chris Lancos argues with members of the Boca Juniors during a 1-1 draw his retirement, on June 14, on Tuesday night. Lancos was quickly separated by referee Yader Reyes and play which is due to go into effect resumed without incident.
