The Nine - Day Gauntlet

Real Salt Lake step into one of the toughest stretches of their season: three matches in nine days, a true test of depth, mentality, and identity. In this episode, we break down what this brutal run means for the Claret‑and‑Cobalt — and what it reveals about the squad Pablo Mastroeni has built.

We cover:

• The nine‑day schedule and why it matters
• Squad rotation: who steps up, who needs rest, and who can’t come off the field
• Tactical adjustments across a congested week
• Depth players who could define this stretch
