After Mexico series win, Toronto FC turns attention to familiar rival in Montreal
TORONTO — Fresh from its Scotiabank CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinal win over Mexico’s Tigres, Toronto FC is pondering some injury question-marks and the prospect of playing on a “garbage” surface Saturday at Montreal’s Olympic’s Stadium
MLS champion Toronto has been preoccupied with the CONCACAF club championship to date this season, playing four games in the tournament to just one in the league. But with a little less than three weeks before having to face Mexico’s Club America in the CONCACAF semifinal, Toronto turns its attention to a more familiar foe in the Montreal Impact (0-2-0).
“It’ll be noisy, it will be loud,” said coach Greg Vanney. “It’s a very big field.
“All these little things, they’re a bonus because there’s just a little added extra intensity in the game and that’s good for us right now. And it’s good for the game.”
