Squadra: San José Earthquakes Conference: Western Stelle: Chris Wondolowski, Jackson Yueill, Christian Espinoza (DP) Obiettivo: playoff Dopo diverse stagioni passate a galleggiare nei bassifondi della classifica di Western Conference, nel 2020, al secondo anno con Maas Almeyda in panchina, i San José Earthquakes sono riusci a qualificarsi per i playoff. Lo hanno fao nel loro sle: alternando plateali goleade subite a viorie entusiasman. UN’ALTRA STAGIONE DI TRANSIZIONE PER SAN JOSÉ EARTHQUAKES? Sarà finalmente il momento di fare il salto di qualità e provare ad affondare il colpo in oca playoff? I San Josè Earthquakes ce la meeranno tua per far sognare ancora i loro fosi dopo annate da dimencare: il leader carismaco storico, e capocannoniere all me MLS, Cris Wondolowski, è ancora il pilastro su cui puntare il roster, anche se l’età avanza e si fa senre. Remedi è un colpo interessante, proveniente da Atlanta United, apporta esperienza e qualità al gioco di Almeyda che, alla seconda stagione in MLS, dovrà confermare quelle piccole cose fae vedere all’esordio nella Major. L’UNICA guida italiana sulla nuova stagione MLS edizione 2021 A I L A T MAGAZINE I il grande spettacolo della MLS SAN JOSÉ E. ROSTER Per semplificare, però, si può immaginare lo schieramento di San José come un 4-2-3-1 (con Fierro, il neo-acquisto Chofis Lopez e Espinoza sulla trequar), o al massimo un 4-4-2 molto offensivo, con due ali/trequars come esterni di centrocampo.
