Rapids’ Robin Fraser has found his striker in Gyasi Zardes, despite Columbus coach Caleb Porter declaring “he’s not on the up”

“Gyasi is a guy who works so hard that you can’t help but get dragged along with it. His influence on us is going to be more than his ability to score goals. It’s just more professionalism and experience.'

In surprisingly frank comments to reporters, Porter questioned whether Zardes still has it, while also suggesting his play has begun to deteriorate.

“Gyasi is a guy who works so hard that you can’t help but get dragged along with it,” Fraser told reporters Thursday. “His influence on us is going to be more than his ability to score goals. It’s just more professionalism and experience. Younger players looking at older players and how they handle and conduct themselves, he’s a really good role model for that.”When Porter spoke to reporters this week, he explained why he felt Zardes, third all-time in goals scored for Columbus, had to move on.

Zardes, meanwhile, believes he’s got plenty left in the tank, with a track record of 101 goals and 31 assists in 276 total appearances across all competitions backing up that confidence. He is hoping to fight for his place to earn a call-up with the USMNT again.
