After a Modest Campaign Left Behind, will RSL Rally

That is the idea for second year Manager Jeff Cassar, who after his promotion at the helm of the Royal Army, last campaign debut was not a very memorable for him and the fans of the RSL.

With a record of 11 wins, 15 losses and 8 draws, the Claret &Cobalt saw a modest campaign and finishing a rare ninth place in the Western Division.

Leaving them out of their division playoff spot and for many in MLS circles was seen as a rarity from a squad known for its hardened stance and always participating in the grand fete of the postseason.

That was then and now is time to focus on a new campaign and make this entity one competitive group of individuals as well display in every match that touch of class and all around spectacle, that the RSL known for.

For the RSL Boss his stance and direct goals are to make this squad a force not to be mess with,  playing as a home team , very well making such important improvements in their away record, if they want to become a contender.

It is where the think tanks at the Royals front office really went in the task of netting important players to make a stand to what many are seeing ahead a much-competed Major League Soccer.

Here come the new faces recently acquired in the league draft, very well a new attacker in Yuve Movsisyan from Spartak Moscow, who will add a new depth to the new offensive attack of Manager Cassar.

That for sure will adapt quickly to the talents of Plata, Morales and Martinez in what many foresee a 4-3-3 formation it used by the newcomer in his Old Russian squad and for sure will deliver lots of fear to its opponents.

 

Alongside many of the followers of the Salt Lake squad who are seeing a positive outcome of this squad recent draft and deposited their trust in these new prospects to shine in an immediate future for the Royals.

Another bright and hopeful outlook seen in their preseason, it is the ability to show off many good results and some not so great, still the imminent success seen in this group is one bright one at the end.

Nobody told Manager Cassar that this was going to be a walk in the park or the level of easiness was going to there, not at all, because the challenges for this RSL squad will be all campaign long and to deliver to that loyal fans base.

That last campaign saw its disappointment in its Claret & Cobalt, who played above mediocrity and many of what many saw a lot of indifference from its initial eleven, in what many expect a better performance and much greater game.

At the end, this Real Salt Lake squad is poised to make a good stand, compete for position, and return its almighty reputation and position as all around contender lost in last campaign fiasco, will this squad return.

There will be one way to find out, for now the RSL is up and ready for a much-disputed 2016!
