The same day the MLS is Back Tournament schedule is released, Max and Vince get a writer and reporter that's been breaking all kinds of stories surrounding the tournament on the podcast. The Athletic's Sam Stejskal joins the podcast for the first time. As already mentioned, Sam has been all over the return of MLS. He's been ahead of too many stories to count these past few months. Max and Vince dive right into the schedule with Sam. What was the first game he looked for when he got his hands on it - hint, it's the biggest rivalry in MLS in less than three years since the first match. The guys also get Sam's take on the safety protocols and the rising cases of COVID-19 in Florida just as teams are about to embark and enter the "bubble" there. And we put Sam on the spot, asking him for a winner, a dark horse candidate, and who he thinks will win the tournament's Golden Boot. After chatting with Sam, Max and Vince do a little schedule breakdown of their own. Did things come together favorably for LAFC? You'll have to listen to find out what the guys think and they also share some of the things LAFC has planned to keep fans informed as the tournament kicks off.

Now, let's talk some football. In Part 1, Bob Bradley and Jesse Marsch talked about building a team, ideas, and some of the intangibles. Part 2 is all about the football on the pitch. Bob and Jesse delve into the finer details of LAFC and Red Bull Salzburg's approach to pressing and counterpressing. How do teams work against the ball to create opportunities in the attack? What are some of the concepts and language the two coaches use with their players when trying to express their philosophy? How can a team balance being dynamic and quick with being disciplined positionally? Both coaches go into their thinking on the topics and how they've evolved over time from experiences they shared at the Chicago Fire, the US Men's National Team, and all the way back to Princeton University.
