Maybe if all these club directives made the right moves on
the preseason in building a contender for manager Jim Curtin after this club last season in the playoffs was upset by the defending champions Atlanta United.
Somehow this club has been plagued by such bad fortunes
and their elimination in conference semifinals as well finishing as runners up
thee times in the US Open Cup tells you a lot of this club misfortunes.
Still is back to the drawing board and regroup to front
another contested edition of Major League Soccer looking like this season will
be one disputed one, especially in the Eastern Conference.
Considered as one difficult conference the Union will
have its hands full in the course of this 2020 f these are to aspire to another
consecutive trip to the league postseason and this time makes their effort
worthy of a run to the league finals.
With several important acquisitions in the preseason the
U is up and ready to put in the field one of its most competitive team to the front
in what seems to be another season full of challenges and many obstacles.
So far, the club has brought a lot of new blood to the
City of Brotherly Love with new signings in new players worthy of carrying this
team to the promised land of the league finals and seeking that elusive league
shield.
The club has embarked in getting the ideal players to
Talen Energy Stadium, the arrival of Norwegian defender Jakob Glesnes, the
return of Brazilian midfielder Ilsinho from Shaktar Donesk, Slovakian
midfielder Matej Oravec, Venezuelan midfielder Jose Andres Martinez.
Adding to this club arsenals are the likes of Aurelien
Collin and Mark McKenzie to new contracts along with Jamiro Monteiro to a permanent
deal, the U is ready to tackle another challenging season in the confines of
MLS.
As manager Curtin is looking ahead with his new acquisitions
to make an impact, he is looking from this team to finally break the malefic of
the postseason along with other competitions this club goes into and gets not so
positive results in the end.
For now, the man is looking forward to a 4-4-2 with a
diamond formation, with Brazilian Pedro Santos and Kacper Przybylko to headline
the Union offensive attack alongside Brenden Aaronson to headline the midfield
attack.
Somehow the absences of Marco Fabian, Haris Medunjanin
and Auton Trusty will these be missed dearly, maybe but that’s why the club
directives brought to Talen Energy Stadium a couple of players that will be a
natural fit in Jim Curtin’s game plan.
In the end, a sixth-place finish for the U can be the
ideal finish as well with tier new faces fitting in the starting lineup and generating
a scandalous game plan, the Philadelphia side for sure will make the postseason
but to see if these have the ambition.
