“He’s lethal with his right foot in terms of a cross or a shot,” coach Luchi Gonzalez said.
“Cristian is a workhorse,” first-year coach Luchi Gonzalez said. “Every ball, every play, every second, every inch matters to him, and what a great leader in terms of intensity. Yes, he’s very talented obviously but he makes that talent count because of his mentality to work hard and work for his teammates.”
San Jose dominated possession on Saturday but through 77 minutes had only taken a total of three shots on goal. That’s when Espinoza saw five Colorado defenders in the box and thought he was better off shooting from outside the penalty area. He connected into the top right corner, just inside the crossbar.
If the Quakes end up making the playoffs this year, it will be because of games like this recent eight-day stretch, when they got the full six points at home against two inferior opponents. AfterThe Quakes had a 60-40 edge in possession against both Vancouver and Colorado, but Gonzalez said it wasn’t enough to have possession – the team needs to convert that into scoring opportunities. That’s where Espinoza came in on Saturday.
“He’s lethal with his right foot in terms of a cross or a shot,” Gonzalez said. “Any shot he takes and puts it on target, even if it’s right at the goalkeeper, is dangerous. It can be a rebound or knuckle and slip though, so we want to do that more often.”
