Minnesota United’s MLS game at San Diego pits separate approaches
“I think if you maybe talked to [San Diego coach] Mikey [Varas], he’d probably say that what he’s doing is fairly pragmatic, in the sense that they’ve built the squad around that style,” he said. “We’ve tried to build a style around getting the best out of the players’ strengths. … I think that’s why we’re a pragmatic team, not necessarily pragmatic in the way in which the word has been skewed to mean only risk aversion and direct play. We’ve tried to twist the team to make sure that we get the best out of the players.”
