Vancouver striker did everything but score in his team\u0027s early games, but now he\u0027s finding the back of the net as well. Find out more.
But Vancouver Whitecaps CEO Axel Schuster stepped up before the team took on Minnesota three weeks ago and gave a full-throated endorsement of his striker: “I was very, very happy with the performance of Brian White. I think he had a challenging year last year. We all know how good he is as a striker. He has proven that the year before, and without Brian White, we would never have made the playoffs. So he is finally without any injury issues and fully ready to go.
Going into Saturday’s game with the Portland Timbers, White was second in MLS in non-penalty expected goals per 90 minutes to Seattle’s Jordan Morris . No other player had more touches in the opposition’s box that White.Article contentLAFC fans went through a similar crisis of confidence with Denis Bounga last season, and all he’s done is go out and jump into the Golden Boot race. He had a hat trick on Saturday, four days after putting two past the Whitecaps at B.C. Place.
“Yeah, I think through the year so far, the performances have been good. It’s been focusing more on doing what I can to help the team, hold the ball, defend, make runs and behind create space for other players,” said White. “I’ve been focusing on that, and hopefully we get results and hopefully I find myself in good spots. Fortunately, I was able to do that tonight.
“Obviously, you want to keep scoring every game. But for me, it’s about focusing on the performance focusing on what I can do to help the team win. If it’s goals, great. I’m happy to score goals for the team. It’s what I want to do. But more importantly to put my best foot out there.”
