Major League Soccer 2017 Campaign- Will Tata Martino make Atlanta United a total contender?



Welcome to the ranks of Major League Soccer Atlanta United, as Tata Martino has a major challenge ahead, as the Boss of the new expansion side in Americas top tier league.

Being in charge of a squad in its first year of activities, will be a new adventure in his CV.
Still for the Argentine new journey in American lands and under the helm of a new squad to make its debut on March 5 at home against the New York Red Bulls, it will not be an easy affair for the Southerners.

One thing for this squad front office they are confident ahead of their man at the helm, coming with an impressive CV and with an impressive managerial career in his native Argentina, Paraguay and Spain.

Very well, in his stints with both Paraguayan and Argentinian National teams, the United has its ideal man to build up a giant towards this club future in MLS.

The outlook of putting an exciting and one of a kind campaign for the debutante Atlanta United Boys will be one major one and filled with plenty of high expectations, deposited in seeing a total contender in the Eastern Conference and the 2017 campaign.

If someone deserves kudos, is this club front office, working on overdrive to build a one of a kind, competitive and spectacular squad for Tata Martino.

As the Andean is one man that his traits in football are a high press and attacking football, he calls the tiki- taka style adding his own tactics, using a midfield press along a dynamic and quick passing adding his own creative approach.

Another plus for Manager Martino is his vision of utilizing and promoting in each squad he manages its academies and being highly dependent on its youth systems, something many American Bosses can learn from this man.

So far, the arrival of a top of the line arsenal composed of experienced, rookies and homegrown players that will complement this squad on eye of a contested 2017.

With players in USMNT Greg Garza coming from Mexican, side Xolos, SKC Jacob Peterson, Galaxy Jeff Larentowicz, Cardiff Kenwyne Jones, Wigan Chris Cann, Velez Sarsfield Yamil Assad and Hector Villalba on loan to Tijuana Xolos.

Reinforcing its midfield but caring for areas in its defense and frontal attack, alongside a reliable keeper core, the Atlanta squad is molding its squad to make a decent run and front it with an all-around pride.

 In its midfield with a combination of Yamil Assad, Chris Cann, Tito Villalba, Miguel Almiron and Jeff Larentowicz, Kevin Kratz, Homegrown Andrew Carleton and Harrison Heath, the Atlanta main attacking area is already complete.

In its striker force with championship side Kenwyne Jones, Romario Williams, USMNT U-20 Brandon Vazquez, Jacob Peterson and Jeffrey Otoo, maybe the need of another experienced attacker will be in United’s agenda.

Its defensive backfield with experienced Greg Garza, Zach Lloyd and Michael Parkhurst experience will be vital in using it, to lead a young core in Mark Bloom and Mikey Ambrose and maybe a couple of more players to add this will complete its defensive side.

With a couple of keepers in Alec Kann and indisputable starter followed by USL Greek player from Charleston Battery, Alexandros Tabakis, by far this squad is looking good.

At the end, I see a fighting squad that can make honor to its motto with determination and a commitment to excellence, this campaign can be a marvelous and spectacular one with the current roster already established.

Excitement is something already generated by this squad and with an already established army of followers in the Terminus Legion, Atlanta United is ready to launch in what seems a new era in American soccer history.

If things go as envisioned by its man at the helm, we may have a challenger and a true winner in the newcomer Atlanta United Football Club, maybe a sixth spot if they make it into the league postseason and contesting to earn it.

Welcome aboard Atlanta United FC.
