Something feels different about the 2021 New England Revolution. After making it to the Eastern Conference Finals in 2020, expectations are sky high.
The Revolution are bringing back the majority of their roster and have made some quality moves in the offseason. The acquisitions of Wilfrid Kaptoum and Christian Mafla particularly stand out as players who can make an impact right away.
Then when you combine the fact that they have the legendary Bruce Arena as head coach, it only makes sense for fans to think so highly of their favorite team.
It seems as though the players also realize that fans will be expecting a lot from them in 2021.
