Victor Souza Embracing Leadership Role
“I’m one of the more experienced guys, so I just try to embrace that responsibility and do my best.”
2025 has seen Victor Souza take a monumental leap as he’s truly grown into a leadership role for this Revolution II side.
While 2024 saw Souza dawn the captain’s armband several times throughout the season, 2025 has seen Souza become one of the club’s more tenured players. Before the 2025 season started, Souza told The Blazing Musket he likes to “lead by experience” and how he looks to use his experiences to help give advice and tips to younger players on the roster.
Three games into the 2024 season, Souza has dawned the captain’s armband in all three games. Following Friday’s win, Souza told The Blazing Musket that getting to wear the armband means a lot as it shows Richie Willams and the coaching staff trust him.
“I’m one of the more experienced guys, so I just try to embrace that responsibility and do my best,” the center back said.
Souza’s leadership is one of the many factors in Revolution II’s early success in 2025, which has seen them go 2-0-1 while notching three consecutive clean sheets.
“Collectively, we’re defending well with more intention and more committed to it,” he said.
Revolution II will look to build upon their early success on April 9 when they travel to Osceola Heritage Park in Kissimmee, Florida, as they face Orlando City B at 7 PM ET.
