Real Salt Lake head coach Pablo Mastroeni speaks with the media following training on July 10. Mastroeni discusses Juanma Sanabria’s return to the group after representing Uruguay at the World Cup, praising the midfielder for the way he prepared, remained fit and represented both himself and Real Salt Lake on the international stage. “He’s just a true professional.” The RSL head coach also explains how Sanabria’s World Cup performance generated greater attention around the player and the club. Mastroeni describes that exposure as both a blessing and a curse, acknowledging that strong performances can create new opportunities and outside interest. He also discusses the club’s responsibility to do right by its players when those opportunities arise, while balancing each player’s ambitions with the business side of professional soccer. Mastroeni says the attention is ultimately a positive reflection of Sanabria’s performances and of the work being done at Real Salt Lake.
