For the Rapids and their
second year Boss Pablo Mastroeni, it’s time to get serious and have his club play
a more ambitious football to prevent future debacles.
As all of a sudden this
squad started playing a one of a kind ball in last campaign, until its meltdown
before the All Star Break, which saw this squad its postseason intentions decimated
and sudden good start went nowhere.
Pablo Mastroeni during
his play days he won several honors to his CV, as Boss of the Colorado squad
his situation is not in a dire one, still being a Manager takes its skills as
well level a squad that suddenly sees its campaign shrinks.
Not this 2015 as he
is ready to front in what many see a very disputed and limited space for the Western
Conference postseason, with only six spots available and two new members in the
SKC and Houston Dynamo.
That will add some excitement
to this campaign and a lot of competitiveness in both conferences that its Eastern
counterpart will see the debut of NYFC and Orlando SC, bringing a lot of heat
to this campaign.
its why this Rocky Mountain
club front office took matters into their own hand, by reinforcing many of its
weak areas and form a contender coming into this 2015 edition of MLS.
The arrival of former
defensive greats from Portland Timbers Michael Harrington and Chivas USA Bobby
Burling well reinforcing their midfield with San Jose Quakes Sam Cronin and LA
Galaxy Marcelo Sarvas.
Who alongside
newcomer from Argentinian League Belgrano Lucas Pittinari will make these Coloradoans
a squad not to mess with as well make them an overall contender in this 2015.
Still the buck doesn’t
stop here, while this squad is currently doing their preseason at Las Vega Invitational
tournament, rumors put that they are looking for more players and possibly the name
of Uruguayan international Diego Forlan to become a Rapid.
With a successful draft
and hopefully their new additions can make the big squad, the rapids score a
ten with two defenders in Axel Sjöberg and Joe
Greenspan- the Rapids future in tis backfield is looking very promising.
Manager Mastroeni will have his hands full in deciding who will be his
next goalkeeper, with the arrival from Philadelphia Union Zac MacMath-Rapids
who will start a certain competition for the starting role with already Rapids keepers
Clint Irwin and substitute John Berner.
The essence of football is its multiple challenges that will offer in
its beginning and its end of every campaign and for its Manager Pablo Mastroeni
who has seen his request fulfilled by his club front office.
Now his biggest defiance will be of making a brethren or mystic of harmony
between his new and current players in order to give its supporters a dandy of
a campaign filled with a lot of enthusiasm and a rewarding one.
That at the end, this squad new hopes and squad can hopefully net many achievements
and overcome their challenges and don’t repeat their last campaign misfortunes
that cost them their ticket to the promised land of the postseason.
