For midfielder Matt Polster, the key to New England’s success is the intensity the team brings to training each and every day. All that work behind the scenes, with veteran players and newcomers alike pushing each other to perform at a high level, has given the team an identity.

 

“I think this year, you’re looking at the roster and if you take away the injuries, it’s an extremely tough roster to make just the 20-man team, let alone the starting XI,” Polster told DJ Bean on The Soccer Show, airing every Saturday morning at 6:00 a.m. on 98.5 The Sports Hub.
