The biggest question heading into Philadelphia Union’s 2020 season is a simple and straightforward one: How do you build on the best season in club history? The answer could come from two directions. First, the personnel could improve. Second, the system could become stronger and more refined.
Much of the offseason has suggested that Ernst Tanner is leaning heavily in the second direction. This year, the Union will succeed by playing an even more high tempo, frenetic, athletic and aggressive style of soccer that will value the ball less and value field position far more.
