Here's this week's “Coach’s Conversation with Mikey Varas”, recorded ahead of Saturday’s match against Real Salt Lake. These previews are part of the SDFC Kickoff Show on San Diego Sports 760 and the IHeartRadio App. Pregame coverage starts 30 minutes before kickoff for most matches.

Why is Mikey so confident things will turn around? How difficult has it been to analyze this team when it’s often playing a man down? We discussed that and more.

After San Diego plays Saturday’s game in Salt Lake, SDFC will travel straight to Houston for a midweek match against the Dynamo. Kickoff Show at 5PM with actual kickoff just after 5:30 on Wednesday.

Join Adrian Garcia Marquez and me on the radio for every MLS match and a reminder - you can listen to our radio broadcast on AppleTV for all home matches by locating the “Home Radio” option in the lower right corner of the broadcast.

You can also listen to our postgame show, SDFC Extra Time, at the conclusion of each match.
