BRIDGEVIEW, Ill. – The Chicago Fire have focused on staying compact lately, especially in tough road environments like that of Kansas City, Houston and New York.
“Obviously, you’re playing away, being compact getting behind the ball and being good in possession, all that stuff is essential,” head coach Frank Klopas said after his team’s 1-0 loss to New York on Wednesday. “And playing very direct, we’re trying to not get stretched and it’s an up-and-down game because it’s very difficult to sustain that rhythm.”
