Colorado Rapids defender Sebastian Anderson, front, beats out Inter Miami midfielder Diego Gomez, top, for a header during the second half of an MLS soccer match, Saturday, April 6, 2024, in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. A wild 2-2 draw in the Colorado Rapids’ first matchup against Inter Miami, which included 45 minutes of Lionel Messi, was full of minute details that affected not only the match, but also some of the outlooks on the team for the near future.
In training on Tuesday, he participated in all drills and looked quick and comfortable in his movements. Armas said Löffelsend is “where he’s supposed to be” in his recovery progression and “could be an option” against San Jose. Despite the thrill of playing against legends like Messi and the pressure of replacing the team’s captain and starting right back, Armas and left back Sam Vines were both impressed with Anderson. He made a couple of early mistakes that can be attributed to nerves, but Armas was most impressed with the way he grew into the game.
The right back position wasn’t the only role left vacant by an injured Rosenberry. In his absence, someone needed to wear the captain’s armband, too.Last season, when William Yarbrough was out, it was typically either Cole Bassett or Andreas Maxsø who sported the armband. For the most part, having a group of players from which to designate that responsibility isn’t a bad thing, but Armas said he’s not laboring over the decision to give it to Steffen.
