The Capitol Hill boys
are up in arms and ready to make an all-around statement in this upcoming 2015
campaign as well return to its old glory days.
For MLS Manager of
the Year Ben Olsen going into his fourth year as the DC United Boss, we can
credit his perseverance after returning the DCU to its rightful place- in the
Eastern Conference and winning it with style.
Their unfortunate
sidetrack in the postseason was with a determined and streaked New York Red
Bulls who eliminated them from semifinals and stop them cold in their quest to
play in the league final once again.
Being that in the
past and now focusing on a new campaign and new challenges ahead in the Eastern
Conference, DCU is up in arms and ready to front a new league and conference
format with its two new squads.
New faces and new
hopes are up ahead for the Black and Red that is seeing its last days of play
at RFK Stadium a place they called home since their inception.
Nothing better that
its own venue that will highlight this so called Pioneers of Major League
Soccer and considered one of the most successful for the number of league
shields won.
As Buzzard Point a
site were the DC United boys will call home in 2017 and with a beautiful
Stadium that will have a seating capacity of 20,000 plus fans.
DC United will kick
off this campaign on a higher note and new perspectives to deliver more shields
to its new venue halls alongside try to make a run in the always contested
CONCACHAMPIONS tournament this 2015!
I mean trophies and honor’s
galore for this squad and always being the first to make an all-around feat in
league circles, after being the only American squad to win the coveted CONCACAF
Champions League in 1998.
And with the majority
of its previous campaign squad returning and new faces in the roster in the likes
of Markus Halsti from Sweden top tier Malmo, Micheal Farfan of Mexican side
Cruz Azul, Andrew Driver from Houston Dynamo and former Crew Jairo Arrieta.
These four will indeed
contribute to the Capitol Hill gang in their quest of redemption and trying to contribute
as much as possible to make this squad one entity no to mess with!
So far with an excellent
campaign and a shield won in the ATX Pro Challenge, this squad and its Manager
Ben Olsen are ready to confront many challenges that a contested Major League
Soccer will send their way.
Twenty and counting
is what the Black and Red has earned its appellation of league pioneers and considered one of its
utmost representatives of American soccer in the club category, DCU is up and
ready.
