Any matchweek at the Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta Training Ground has an air of intensity. But it’s always turned up a level leading up to MLS Cup Playoffs, and that was noticeable to the players and their manager.
“They look really good I have to admit,” Frank de Boer told reporters. “Everybody is really focused. They know it can be over in one game. You fought so hard to come to the playoffs, you want to continue for as long as possible. You can’t relax right now.”
“The group as a whole looks sharp,” added Jeff Larentowicz.
