Cherundolo acknowledged that it was a challenge to bring a number of new players to the club, but also something essential to the project to meet its expectations. He points to a five-day retreat to Palm Springs, just before the start of the season, as a key to helping the roster gel as it has been so far.
“Our five days in Palm Springs in the preseason were super important for this group and for us as a staff as well, which is something I will repeat especially in the future,” he noted, “and this group needed it and wanted it in us. give them that. Their answers were amazing. They found ways as a group to win. We did not always start with 100 miles per hour, which I would have preferred … but the reaction as a group has been good. I think “Our ideas in the offseason were to inject more leadership, more character and MLS experience. That was exactly what this team needed, and I think we’ll see that in the first four weeks.”
