Rapids Midfielder Cole Baset said that the club needed a “turnaround mentality” to move forward, and how they revealed a vision on how they revealed Wednesday’s game.
Baset said, “Going to a place like San Diego, where we know they are going to try to play from behind, it is going to give us a chance to suppress them and hopefully, give us opportunities.”
