Charlotte FC's Daniel Ríos named Week 33 Continental Player of the Week

CHARLOTTE, NC (Monday, October 3, 2022) – Charlotte FC striker Daniel Rios was voted MLS Player of the Week after scoring all four goals in a 4-0 thrashing of Eastern Conference leading Philadelphia Union to keep the Crown's playoff hopes alive. Per league policy, the game will recommence with the same players on the field and substitutes available as when the match was initially postponed. But it was Charlotte who struck again nine minutes into the second half. Jozwiak was a Union buster all night for the Crown, on the dribble, finding space, feeding lethal passes to the hot foot of Rios, and he did it again in the 54th minute. With roar of the Charlotte supporters on top of them in the East End, the pair harassed the Philly defense into several turnovers on the left side of the goal with Jozwiak deftly putting the ball on the striker’s foot. Rios danced to his right around defender Leon Flach and nutmegged Blake to put Charlotte up 2-0.

We feel more confident knowing we have a goalkeeper like him in the back. The saves he made against Atlanta, Galaxy, and D.C were amazing. “As an expansion team it is difficult in the first season, mostly because most of the guys are new, everything on the team is new. It’s about adapting and knowing each other on the field, the final goal is to win games and win the championship.

Rather than follow that pattern, most of Sisniega’s distribution was more direct, sometimes long balls that had to be won or with mid-range targeted throws and kicks that found his teammates on the flanks. If the Union had planned on victimizing Charlotte with a high press, they never really got the chance. “The game plan wasn’t changed when Kristijan was (ruled) out because we are blessed to have a good set of goalkeepers, really good,” Lattanzio said.

Daniel Ríos: "I will do anything to help the team win games and earn points"

CHARLOTTE – Interim head coach Christian Lattanzio put his trust in Daniel Ríos once again as the Mexican striker made his fourth straight start. Ríos’s paid back his coach’s trust in him with a remarkable four-goal performance which extended Charlotte FC’s winning streak to three in a row. After three losses to start the season, the Crown had won their last two, their first two, at home before the 0-2 reality check in Pennsylvania.

Learning how your teammates like to move and the way they play. CHARLOTTE – This isn’t Charlotte FC striker, Daniel Ríos’s first rodeo when it comes to playing for an expansion side. Ríos was a part of Nashville SC’s expansion year and even scored their first-ever goal in MLS. He knows better than most the challenges involved in starting a team from scratch. The Mexican is the second Charlotte FC player to earn Player of the Week honors in as many weeks after fellow attacker Karol Swiderski was named POTW following a 3-2 win over Chicago Fire FC. Charlotte FC is the first expansion team to accomplish this feat since 2005 when Seattle Sounders FC did so.

Club

The Union have already secured a postseason spot, but this wasn't the type of performance it was looking for in the final road game of the regular season. It was the second game in a row in which Philadelphia failed to score, though the previous such situation resulted in a 0-0 draw with Atlanta. Rios, a 27-year-old midfielder, had a total of just two goals in 13 previous starts this season for Charlotte FC. A product of Chivas Guadalajara's youth academy, Rios made his name in USL on loan with North Carolina FC before Nashville acquired him. He was stellar at that level, with 40 goals in 62 appearances between Nashville and North Carolina. UPDATE (Feb. 25) – Charlotte FC have acquired forward Daniel Rios from Nashville SC for up to $500,000 in General Allocation Money, the clubs announced Friday.

The energy they bring even before the match begins to the very last whistle is contagious, and Ríos says that the players feed off of it. Ríos ranked this match as one of the top three best games of his career and went as far as to say that it probably tops the list. However, it hasn’t been all rainbows and sunshine for the Club but the team is still believing and fighting until the very end.

Charlotte interim coach Christian Lattanzio said he didn’t change the game plan due to the switch but did give Sisniega the freedom to play the ball under his possession – after a save or on a goal kick – as he felt comfortable. No one in the crowd of 43,860 or watching at home would have dared suggest that Charlotte would paste Philadelphia with their worst loss – only their fifth of the season – 4-0. Or that Daniel Rios, with two goals and one assist in 24 appearances this season, would achieve the Crown’s first-ever hat trick and whatever you call a 4-goal game. The center forward joins Charlotte as the expansion side looks to reinforce their attack.

Player movement

He gives head coach Miguel Angel Ramirez another option through the center, alongside Designated Player Karol Swiderski and U22 Initiative signing Vinicius Mello. The funds break down as $350,000 in 2022 GAM with an additional $150,000 in 2023 GAM if certain incentives are met. That means Lattanzio will have to sort out who will partner with Anton Walkes in central defense as Guzman Corujo, who started that game is out for the season due to injury and Christian Makoun is no longer with the team. Defenders Adilson Malanda and Nathan Byrne were not on the roster then, nor was midfielder Nuno Santos. It was a comprehensive and complete victory for the Crown who will face the Columbus Crew on Oct. 5 in continuance of the home match that was abandoned due to persistent lightning storms on July 30.

With their win over Philadelphia, Charlotte become the third expansion team since 2005 to win double-digit games at home in their first season (Atlanta United in 2017 and CF Montréal in 2012). The Crown are just the third expansion team, excluding the shootout era, to win at least 13 games in their inaugural season (Atlanta United and LAFC). Additionally, Charlotte’s 41 points are the most by an expansion team since LAFC’s 57 in 2018. CHARLOTTE, NC (Friday, February 25, 2022) – Charlotte FC today announced the Club has acquired forward Daniel Ríos from Nashville SC in exchange for $350,000 in 2022 GAM with an additional $150,000 in 2023 GAM if certain incentives are met. “He’s a guy that I’ve been really impressed with, the last three matches he has played fantastic...

Rios is the 14th Dynamo Academy alumnus to sign a Homegrown Player contract, and the second-youngest to sign after Juan Castilla signed on June 15. The Houston native and US youth international joined the academy in 2013 as a 10-year-old and was one of four academy players chosen by Tab Ramos to join the first team in preseason a year ago. “I want to score goals, that’s what I want, I really want to score goals. I’m the type of player that if I have to do defensive duties, or maybe make runs in behind and cross and not be the guy to score goals, I will do it. Rios, 27, was the first player Nashville ever signed to an MLS contract. Injuries have limited the Mexico native's opportunities over the club's first two seasons, with five goals and one assist in 30 appearances (13 starts).
