The New England Revolution are undefeated in four straight, which is their best run since the summer of 2015 when they went eight games without a loss. This success can largely be attributed to players settling into Brad Friedel’s system.
When Friedel became the seventh coach in Revs history, he promised to bring high-energy soccer to New England. This style would require a lot of fitness since players had to be ready to press the ball. It also required sharpness in all areas of the field. More than anything, it required the players to buy in.
