Jovan Lukic: The Tempo Switch
Not every important touch is flashy, and he proves it.
A calm receive becomes a quick release, then the Union are playing forward with more clarity. When opponents try to speed the game up, he slows it in the right way, keeping the team connected and balanced. That control is vital in MLS, where momentum flips quickly and one rushed pass can start a counter. If the Union need a calmer rhythm, he’s often the reason it arrives.
