“Phil is very knowledgeable about the game and as a coach, but he’s also a really good person. When someone is a really good person, it’s really easy to learn from them because you care about how they want to do things. It’s been really good so far and I think a lot of the guys have really taken to that. There’s a new kind of spirit within the group which is really exciting,” he added.

Chapman also went more into detail about what is expected from the midfield unit as the team seeks to turn possession into a key weapon for Inter Miami.

“Phil is putting a lot of good pressure on us. He’s holding us to a high standard because he knows that we’re capable of being those players that can really connect and play at a high level. He’s stressed that it's up to us to be that link between the back four and the forwards, he’s emphasized getting midfielders on the ball…We’ve been emphasizing how good we are with the ball and how we are going to do things, the sharpness in our movements and how we are going to set up tactically to break teams down.”
