Vermont Green opens training ahead of USL2 campaign
BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) - Following their US Open Cup run, Vermont Green FC is back at training this week, preparing for the start of the USL2 season this weekend. The boys in green had their first full session Tuesday morning, with a number of the guys still filtering over the next couple days ahead of their season opener this coming Sunday at Boston City. It’s a mix of newbies and familiar faces: some of the returners at training today included Dani Pacella and Zach Zengue. With less than a week turnaround between the first training session and the first game, that veteran presence will be key, but the guys say they’re spending a ton of time together and already bulding chemistry with their new teammates. “There’s a lot of old faces, a lot of new faces,” Pacella said. “So just getting familiar with each other and building relationships on the pitch and off the pitch is super important, especially in such a short season. It’s a sprint marathon, so getting to know each other and building relationships is key. So especially this first few days, just getting our legs under us, building some fitness and getting ready for this first game on Sunday.” “Off the field is really where that connection builds and how we get to know each other,” Zengue added. “But also on the field as well. I mean, it’s a first day of training and I feel like I know these guys already and I’m getting to know everybody. We’re together all day, because we we’re at the hotel and then we go to training together, We go out to eat together. So I think that really helps the team stay close together and, you know, really get to know each other in a short amount of time.
