When you’re fighting at the top of the table, every match is important. But combine a league road trip with a Cup final coming up in just a few days time, it’s another big few days in Atlanta United’s season. But Head Coach Frank de Boer won’t be thinking about Tuesday when he picks his roster for Friday night’s match against Orlando.
“A short turnaround is when you have two days,” he told reporters this week. “Three days gives us a breath of air. So we are going to have a strong team.”
So while Tuesday’s Cup final is a huge point in Atlanta United’s season, the focus this week was squarely on Orlando.
