Toronto FC captain Michael Bradley is likely not a huge fan of 1970s sitcoms, but he did happen to mention ‘One Day at Time’ a number of times on Friday…
Bradley was asked if TFC fans should perhaps temper their expectations somewhat heading into the final few games of the MLS season despite the fact that the three high-profile, big-money Italian international players – Lorenzo Insigne, Federico Bernardeschi and Domenico Criscito – are all now ready to play.
TFC sits second-last in the MLS Eastern Conference with 19 points in 21 games, eight points out of a playoff spot with 13 games remaining and six teams to leap-frog over. The Reds have taken just one point from its last five MLS matches following a 1-0 defeat to CF Montréal last Saturday. That shutout loss marked the seventh time TFC have failed to score in their last 12 MLS matches after having found the net in 13 consecutive games prior to this run.
Bradley said Insigne, who is getting over a calf injury, certainly won’t play a full 90 minutes on Saturday, but added that there is a growing sense of excitement around the training centre given that he and Bernardeschi will be stepping on to the BMO Field pitch.Article content “I think they have come in and established right away how excited they are to be here, what good people they are, what good professionals there are, how serious they are and how motivated they are about being here,” he said. “And, of course, when training starts, you can see the quality, the experience they have, the skill, the way that they, just in a few short days already, raise the level of what we’re doing. We’re really excited that they’re here.
