CONCACAF Champions League: Real Salt Lake Seems To Handling Pressure Just Fine - RSL Soapbox
The hopes and dreams of MLS and U.S. Soccer seem to be resting on the shoulders of Real Salt Lake as they prepare to take on Monterrey in the final leg of the CONCACAF Champions League final on Wednesday. They'll be playing in front of a packed stadium on national TV and will be facing a team that is much more accustomed to this kind of pressure. Despite all this, RSL Soapbox, SB Nation's Real Salt Lake blog, says the players and coaches seem relatively relaxed:
This is a mighty load that has been put on their shoulders, yet watching them practice on Tuesday you would never know, yet talking to them you would never know. Oh they acknowledge the importance of the match and the relevance of what they have and could accomplish, I think all of them have adopted the attitude that head coach Jason Kreis mentioned on Saturday, that this is “ a chance to pay back the fans for all their support, a way to say thank you for all they have given us”.
