Atlanta United's coach Ronny Deila has called for greater aggression and physicality from his team, which currently sits 13th in the Eastern Conference, falling behind in playoff contention. With poor recent form, including a goalless draw against D.C. United, Deila recognizes the need for a change in mindset and strategy. He believes that new signing Enea Mihaj can enhance the team's performance due to his leadership and defensive skills. Deila emphasized the importance of being more demanding of themselves to improve results swiftly as the season is nearing its end.
In an ideal world, we want a physical team. We want a team that has hard legs. We should be very pressing, very active in everything and drive up the tempo in the game.
Mihaj is a leader, a fighter, very good defensively and trustworthy. He's done really well in a good club in Portugal. He's in prime age, 26 years old.
