Vibes are high despite short week and another challenging Liga MX squad waiting.
Colorado Rapids head coach Chris Armas controls the ball after it went out of play during a 2-1 win over Sporting Kansas City at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City on Thursday, July 4, 2024. Friday at 7:30 p.m., they’ll take on Liga MX side FC Juárez at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in the Leagues Cup round of 32, their first go-around in the knockout stage of the competition.
“The vibes are good, the boys are feeling good,” Steffen said. “We’re healthy, confident and focused. We’re just excited for another game.”A close second for confidence levels is forward Rafael Navarro, who scored his first goal in eight games to send the Rapids to penalties against León, but Steffen had his best game of the season by far.
“It’s just another game, just another short week,” Steffen said. “So just getting recharged after the last game and having a good training today and getting your mind right for tomorrow. We’re just excited for another chance to play, especially at home in front of our fans against an opponent we don’t know.”Rapids coach Chris Armas can scout and analyze Juárez all he wants.
