As Toronto FC's Titanic-like 2023 season nears an end, the talk is of professionalism.
Languishing in 15th and last place in the Eastern Conference and escaping the MLS basement only on goal difference from Colorado , Toronto is playing for pride and — in some cases — jobs."I think it's a fine balance," he added."When it's difficult, it's important to try to remain positive and show some of our best practices. But also to not hide from some of the permissiveness when things do become difficult. So we're trying to find that sweet spot.
"That doesn't mean that you're smiling every day and acting like things aren't the way they are. Acting professional is just being there for your teammates and doing what's asked of you on the pitch. And doing things off the pitch that you need to do to be ready. It's not giving up on the team. Those things are what, I think, Terry is talking about. And for me those little things should not be hard.
Coming off a 4-0 midweek loss at Inter Miami, Toronto has won just one of its last 16 games in all competitions. TFC is the only team in the league yet to win on the road this season with an 0-10-4 record away from home. "Yeah, OK, they're bottom of our league and they haven't won many football games. But this team beat Philadelphia games ago, who are consistently a team that wins," said New York coach Nick Cushing."So this team can win football games … They have good players, and the opportunity to win when you have good players is always there."
"I expect some rotation in the team. Not so much but I think there's some opportunity for some guys who maybe haven't seen the field lately," said Cushing, citing Brazilian forward Talles Magno as a possible starter.
