"I want to set these guys up in a way that they know their roles and responsibilities, but I want them to take risks," says Valentino. "That's the exciting, attack-minded soccer we want to play at Atlanta United. They have the freedom to go and express themselves, be open and free, and take risks. If we can manage the moments at the right time, we can get the crowd behind us, the boys will enjoy it, and I'm not going to get in the way and interfere."
