The story in La Nacion in Costa Rica seemed to reveal a potentially key point about how Saprissa plans to play RSL in the first leg of their CONCACAF Champions League semifinal series at Rio Tinto Stadium on Tuesday.Except that coach Jason Kreis didn't understand it.The article quoted Saprissa's assistant technical director, Randall Row, as complimenting RSL's Alvaro Saborio and saying the "Purple Monster" planned to use a "zone" defense against its former star."I'm not the smartest coach in the world," Kreis said after practice today, "but I'm not quite sure I even know what that means, exactly. I don't think anybody goes and plays man-to-man against anybody, anymore. Those days are 20 years past, I think, where you put one guy on another guy and say, 'You have to run with him all over the field.' So that's a little bit of a confusing statement for me."He's probably not the only one."In the very first years" of Major League Soccer, Kreis said, "I was on teams that tried that, against someone like [midfielder] Carlos Valderrama. But never a forward. A forward doesn't typically make the plays. If you're going to do that, it's usually going to be against an attacking midfielder, to park somebody with all the time."So, a "zone" defense against Saborio next week?That's something Kreis pretty much expected, to begin with. And however Saprissa chooses to defend Saborio, it knows he's dangerous. Saborio scored 95 goals in five years for Saprissa, and Row said he has become even better since leaving the team and playing for FC Sion in Switzerland, Bristol City in England, and RSL."His time in Europe has made him a more complete player," said Row, a former Saprissa star and member of the Costa Rican national team, "and he has improve a lot because of his international experience."
