The New England Revolution sit eight points outside a playoff spot with seven regular-season matches remaining. A 2-1 road win over the Columbus Crew has boosted team confidence and kept postseason hopes alive. The squad displays a winning mentality, fighting, grinding, clawing and scrapping while playing consistently and defending well. A home match against Charlotte FC represents an important opportunity to narrow the gap. Charlotte have won three straight 1-0 matches and occupy fourth in the Eastern Conference, sitting seven points behind Philadelphia Union. Adilson Malanda was signed by Middlesbrough and loaned back to Charlotte to finish the campaign and remains committed to contributing.
"Our group has a great mentality, a winning mentality. These guys are fighting, grinding, clawing, scrapping," said Porter. "We are playing consistently, we are defending really well. We just got a great result on the road. We are really focused on the next game. Right now I feel good about the group, and they feel good about themselves. This next game is the most important thing."
"We give everything to get results. It's another step, and we want to go forward, and keep it working well to achieve things," Malanda said. "I've spent three incredible years here, we've just kept improving. I've really enjoyed my time here, it is not done."
