After a difficult season marred by a brawl and losses, El Camino Real's captain Coto Bladdimir emphasized the need for a supportive team environment. He inspired his teammates to unite and cultivate a family-like atmosphere. During the City Section Open Division final, the Royals rallied from a deficit to a thrilling 2-1 overtime victory over Birmingham, marking their first title since 2020. Bladdimir's leadership and commitment to teamwork were crucial in this transformation, showcasing how emotional maturity and cohesive support can drive success in sports.
This year is gonna be different. It's gonna be a less toxic environment, and we're gonna be a family, not just a team.
I've tried my hardest for the past few years to build a family. These aren't just soccer players. These are my brothers.
Bladdimir was the last player to leave practice Thursday evening. He is the epitome of a leader and a second coach.
We turned our emotions inward for the rivalry matchup, focusing instead on what we could control in the match after last year's postgame incident.
