Now the 26-year-old striker from Uruguay may be destined to become equally popular at CF Montreal after joining in the off-season from Argentine club CA Huracan.
"There’s a responsibility I had with the fans," Coccaro said in Spanish, speaking through an interpreter at CF Montreal’s training complex."Fans can travel a long distance, like 1,000 kilometres, to watch a football game. "We think every direct centre back that he's facing is scared of him," first-year Montreal head coach Laurent Courtois said."He's an animal, in a good way."
"If you gave it all and you wet the shirt, at the end of the day that's all the fans can ask. That's something he does every day so I think that's why they're going to like him pretty quickly."
