Toronto FC's home-opening 1-0 win Saturday over Charlotte FC was filled with milestones for captain Jonathan Osorio.
The Charlotte win, TFC's third straight clean sheet, moved Toronto into sixth place overall in Major League Soccer. Quite the turnaround for the league's worst team last season . But Herdman, who coached Osorio with Canada, says the midfielder was key to his decision to leaving the national team to take over TFC on Oct. 1.
"And that's his mentality," Herdman added."He's always on. Next step, next step, next step. He's never thinking about the last step and he's never willing to stand and wait to be pushed. He's pushing everyone." "Nothing fazes him. Not even bad moments in games," Nelsen said in August 2013."He always tries to do things positively. Instead of going into his shell, he tries to keep doing stuff. And I love that because the game and life in general rewards those people."
