D.C. United is looking to start the Hernán Losada era off with a win today as they kick off the 2021 MLS season against NYCFC. After an offseason full of changes to the coaching staff, front office, and roster, United is hoping to prove that they’re a more formidable side than they’ve been in the last couple of seasons.
The first step on that path sees New York City FC come to the District. The Pigeons have been one of the most consistently successful teams in the Eastern Conference, and though there are signs that they may be in slight decline this year, they still have some elite MLS players and promising youngsters driving them forward.
“When you come to replace a coach after 10 years, you need some time, you know?” Losada said. “You can’t change everything in six, seven weeks. Rome wasn’t built in a couple of weeks, so it will take some time.”
Losada finds reason for optimism, though, in the same moments Canouse keyed in on. Despite drawing one and losing two matches against the MLS competition United faced in preseason, the process of getting players to understand Losada’s system was more important.
Canouse classifies Losada’s style as a “high-energy, pressing, attacking style of football.” They want to push the ball up the field with pace once the opponent gives away possession.

During a shortened preseason in which cancelled scrimmages and pandemic logistical restrictions have kept the New York Red Bulls almost entirely out of view as they enter a new era under manager Gerhard Struber, the heavily-overhauled squad has been stuck as a creature of fascinated gossip for fans and observers. In an era when social media and smartphones give fans access to practically any team in the world’s action whether they like it or not, New York fans have been able to relive what it was like in the past when you had no idea who was getting off the boat for the World Cup every four years.
