El Farolito's soccer team travels 2,300 miles to compete against Michigan Rangers FC in the NPSL national semifinal. The team is riding a successful 4-1 victory against Cruizers FC and remains focused and motivated. Coach Santiago López highlights the need to counter the Rangers' aggressive playing style, which features six players in offensive positions. The team prepares for humidity and rain that may affect play. Captain Jonathan Mosquera expresses confidence in the team’s spirit, despite nursing an ankle injury, while Edgard Kreye seeks to leverage the match for greater opportunities.
"The team is motivated. Everyone's focused," head coach Santiago López said from Michigan on Friday. "Emotionally, we're in a good place."
They're very offensive - two up top, two wide, two through the middle," López said. "We'll need to win the second balls, manage their direct play, and control the flanks. Especially if it rains, because the ball moves faster on synthetic turf."
