I'm at that age where I'm beginning to see a consistent number of successful athletes who are younger than I am make some pretty impressive showings. Usually this leaves me a little enamored and a little upset. Sacha Kljestan is no exception. The Chivas midfielder scored his third goal of the season this weekend in an amazing goal quite similar his second.
Near the edge of the 18, Kljestan attacks on the dribble with a simple fake--lean outside, cut inside-- and then strikes the ball in such a manner as to curve it from wide right into the far upper corner. Kljestan has done this twice now early in the season, proving outrightly this is a forte in his arsenal, not a rare (and awesome) effect.
The team lost miserably despite the Klejstan first-half goal that tied the match at 1-1---all besides the point. That strike, that goal, sealed the deal for me. The kid ought to be wearing colors similar to Chivas this summer in Beijing.
