Clavijo Speaks
After missing both scheduled appearances to talk with fans, Rapids Coach Clavijo finally let's the fans out of the doghouse with a fantastic article written by every Rapid Fan's friend, Brian Jennings.
Read the Soccer365 article here.
Brian puts Clavijo through his paces, and forces the coach to acknowledge his original promise to the fans to whip this team into shape in 3 years.
There are many insights from Clavijo on how he sees the team coming together, but here are the two most important quotes:
“I’ve been saying all along it would take 3 years to put a group of players together and this is 3 years, so no excuses. Everything is falling into place and you have to believe that this is our time.”
“One other thing is sometimes personal goals influence team goals and have in the past... We cannot blame anybody else. I think we have an opportunity with the new stadium and the whole thing going on, we cannot just be happy getting into the playoffs but to make a good run for it.”
