SAN JOSE – Training camp always brings a sense of optimism and renewed hope — even here, where the Earthquakes are coming off the worst season in their history.
The four-win season and league-low 21 points in 34 games are in the rearview mirror. Ahead is a new season under a new coach, Matias Almeyda, with a reputation for turning teams around in a hurry.
“To a man, everyone is excited for the new culture, the new identity, the new mentality that all of us have, and just excited for the season,” captain Chris Wondolowski said Wednesday at the team’s media day.
