For San Jose Earthquakes head coach Matias Almeyda, there is limitless potential in his players and the team collectively. Growth and development are two constants that come up when the Argentine discusses his project in San Jose.
“The players are not looking to excel individually. They want to excel as a team and that is fundamental,” Almeyda said after Saturday’s match against FC Dallas. “I always tell players not to be afraid to make mistakes and have the desire to make the same play because that is the only way in which we can grow.”
A collective team effort, highlighted by grit and determination, resulted in San Jose’s first win of the 2021 season.
