Having reached the halfway point of the 2020 preseason, Real Salt Lake entered Friday’s training session preparing for a closed-door scrimmage on Saturday before departing for Tucson, Arizona next week.
Coming off a double day on Thursday, an extended warm-up opened up Friday’s session and the energy on the field was evident as everyone joined together for a competitive opening to the session. While trying to complete a series of one-touch passes during the rondo warmup, the team took the time to joke with one another with each and every nutmeg celebrated much like a goal.
The morning was filled with small competitions that required fitness and footwork before breaking into 8v8 small-sided matches.
