The Fresno City men’s soccer are starving to have this season be one for the books and be the first FCC men’s soccer team to win state.

Head Coach Eric Solberg mentions that this is one of his youngest teams yet.

Although this is true, this concern does not bother the players on the team nor the coaches.

“I think the new players are good. As long as they’re having fun, but fun can only go so far,” head coach Eric Solberg said.

“I think that if we become a brotherhood and we stick to the system, we could come out on top,” returning player and captain Jonny Navarro said.

Even though the team is fairly new, the returning players seem to already have a bond with the incoming freshmen. Communication is key for the FCC men’s soccer team and they’ve already connected from having already traveled for their season.

“We don’t have a lot of guys returning but leadership is important,” Solberg said.

“I think the new players are adjusting but they’ll get used to it,” returning player Sergio Segre said.

The energy from the players and coaches are exciting. The team is hungry and motivated to take this season as far as they can. This year’s team has confidence on the upcoming season.

“We’re taking it all, we’re one of the talented teams in the state,” Navarro said.

“I think they’re motivated to play and they know as a group that we’re pretty good. I think we are pretty good,” Solberg said.

The main goal for this upcoming season is to win the state championship. For that to become a reality, work ethic and talking to one another is important. The men’s team are driven and desperately want to achieve that goal for this year.

“My only goal from a winning standpoint is to win it all,” Solberg said.
