"When Most Won't, We Will" - The Mantra That Shapes RSL's Ladder

“When most won’t, we will.”

The mantra adopted by Real Salt Lake Head Coach Freddy Juarez gives shape to the team as it approaches the 2020 season – his first year in charge of the team from the start of the season after taking over as Interim Head Coach last August.

RSL brings back a large majority of the team that finished the season third in the Western Conference and advanced in the MLS Cup Playoffs for the second consecutive year. Within the 2019 season, much of Juarez’s newly-instituted mantra manifested itself on the field. RSL had the best defense in MLS after the June break for the CONCACAF Gold Cup and finished the season with the third-best defensive mark in the league despite a few lopsided results early in the season.
