Bornstein Surprised By Rookie Load
(Soccer365.com) - Chivas USA sensation Jonathan Bornstein admits to being taken back a bit by the amount of playing time he was given during his rookie campaign.
The youngster will take his left back position when the team open the MLS playoffs against Houston.
“I really didn’t expect to get this much playing time coming in to my first year as a professional,” Bornstein told the New York Times. “I thought that maybe I would get a break at midseason.”
“It was really surprising that I got a chance to come in and make an impact right away.”
“Bob (Bradley) gave me the opportunity to start at left back, a position I had never played,” added Bornstein.
“The fact that I was able to adapt quickly was a huge, huge step for me.”
