MONTREAL — CF Montreal centre back Joel Waterman is always motivated when Canadian rival Toronto FC comes to town.
But Saturday’s MLS derby match at Saputo Stadium has “a little extra something special” after TFC thrashed Montreal last time the two sides met.
Meanwhile, Montreal is unbeaten in its last three games after striker Josef Martinez scored twice Wednesday in a 2-2 draw against the New York Red Bulls. TFC head coach John Herdman said his team needs to recognize that they’ll be facing a different side than the one they hardly broke a sweat to defeat two months ago.
Wednesday’s draw against Red Bulls was Montreal’s first match close to full strength in months as Waterman, captain Samuel Piette and midfielder Mathieu Choinière returned from international duty with Canada at Copa America. Piette said the adrenalin associated with playing Toronto should help counteract the loss of sleep Montreal had this week due to travel plans going awry following the match at New York.
