Real Salt Lake's coach Pablo Mastroeni emphasizes the need to enhance the team's attacking strategy after a mixed record this season. Currently positioned 11th in the Western Conference, RSL has struggled recently, winning just one of their last six matches and remaining winless in three. While their defense has shown improvement, Mastroeni is focused on refining their offense to better unlock opponents' defenses. In contrast, the Colorado Rapids, struggling with a five-match winless streak, seek a turnaround as they prepare for the Rocky Mountain Cup clash.
"Defense is a collective mentality, and when you've got 11 guys committed, it's hard to score goals. What you need to score goals is to be able to unlock defenses."
"It's just that polish on the tip of the spear that we need to get right. We're always talking about it, and I think it might take a little more time, but if we can hold onto that sturdy defense, we have a chance."
"Saturday is our focus, all of our energy now spent on recovery. It's a big match for the players, our club, and our fans."
"Want to put it behind us quickly, as we have another important one coming up."
