Marsch has maintained a tactical framework focused on high-intensity pressing, which helped guide the team to nine clean sheets in 13 matches prior to their upcoming pre-tournament friendlies.
"Some teams press to win the ball back, we press to punish and think about scoring immediately when we recover the ball," said Marsch.
The defensive structure was established early in Marsch's tenure during matches against France and the Netherlands, building a system that functioned even during the international absences of Bombito and Davies.
"In my first year in charge we developed the playing style and it's clear we are more of a complete team with Moïse and Alphonso," Marsch says.
"The last year has been about developing the overall mentality to make sure when the lights are the brightest we will be ready to host World Cup games and I think this team is special and can handle that."
The American coach adjusted to international management by traveling globally to visit Canadian players and working at the provincial level to help unify the governance and development of Canadian soccer.
"From the moment I worked with this group of players in the first camp, I knew I was going to fall in love with these guys," he says.
