TORONTO — Captain Michael Bradley, on the eve of his last game with Toronto FC, opened up Friday about his love for the city and the club, the debt to his family and his excitement at transitioning to the coaching ranks down the line.
Injured for much of a dismal MLS campaign that saw his father Bob Bradley fired in late June as head coach and sporting director, the 36-year-old midfielder spent much of the season under the radar.
"I said to people at the time that wasn't true. I said to people at the time that I was hell-bent on trying to come here and do everything I could to take what I thought could be such a special club and help turn it into something." Usually the first at the training ground, Bradley set the tone with his professionalism and high standards.
"Little by little, it started to feel like now there was going to be a real chance that this was the right time ," he said. But he managed to speak volumes without naming names when asked about the reported unrest in the Toronto locker-room this season.
