New York City FC (NYCFC) is treating the Coachella Valley Invitational as a crucial proving ground as they prepare for the 2025 MLS season under new head coach Pascal Jansen. Through their initial matches against Sporting KC and San Diego FC, the team demonstrates a commitment to Jansen's strategies, with Maxi Moralez emerging as a key player taking on leadership in attacking movements and defensive presses. Meanwhile, the midfield faces adjustment challenges following the departure of James Sands, impacting team dynamics that require time to rebuild.
It's absolutely a learning curve, just because [James and I] built a connection over time and developed an understanding that will take time to recreate.
