Gabriel Heinze addressed the Atlanta United media on Monday for the first time and discussed an array of subjects. One of the more talked about points from his 30-minute introductory presser surrounded the topic of expectations. Despite Atlanta United’s tremendous early success, Heinze’s tenure with the Five Stripes should not be judged on how many pieces he adds to the club’s trophy cabinet.
When the subject of expectations for Atlanta United is broached lately I can’t help but think about two different seasons in the club’s short history. When thinking about what I truly want from this club I look back at the inaugural 2017 season compared to the 2019 season.
