Heading into Wednesday night’s matchup against Minnesota United, fans may think back to the last time these two teams played, when two late goals sunk a 10-man Atlanta United at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. But for midfielder Julian Gressel, revenge will have to wait.
“I think we’re waiting more for the regular season matchup than this one,” Gressel said after training Tuesday. “I think this one is more focusing on us progressing through preseason and getting ready for Houston.”
That’s not to say the team is looking past their Wednesday game, another vital piece of the preseason puzzle.
