Bruce Arena’s Winning Philosophy
Paul-Michael Ochoa It’s certainly a platitude, but a strong work ethic is a vital element of any successful team.
Bruce Arena, the winner of five MLS championships, knows this. It’s a point he’s been stressing to his players in New England since day one, and he expects his roster to subscribe.
On Thursday, A.J. DeLaGarza and Emmanuel Boateng both appeared before local media for the first time. They are new additions to the roster, but both bring experience playing under Arena in Los Angeles. It was this time spent together in LA that gave DeLaGarza and Boateng a taste of what to expect in New England, allowing them to jump right into the preseason without any surprises.
