Going back a few years back in time, Impact was a dominant force, as evidenced by the many regular season championships won in the mid-2000s, which was recently hoisted the flags at the stadium. Then, with the opening of the Saputo Stadium came a period of instability for the team in USL. It could earn more in the regular season. If the amazing journey of the Champions League has to live great moments in 2008, knew the impact of failures in the league, do not forget. In 2009, the coronation in the playoffs after a season to forget the disaster that lasted several months, USL first, but especially in championship. And it seems left for a ride. After losing 2-0 at Austin lifted the curtain of the 2010 season of the USSF D2, where the blue and white showed nothing, and a draw in bittersweet against Portland for the first home game Impact, all dressed in pink, went crashing to Toronto, 2-0, when it was possible to do better, not to mention the need to do better.
Some argue that after the peaks of the Champions League, players are struggling to motivate himself to face clubs like Austin on a football field in front of 1000 U.S. plastics and other clipped peeled in a crappy stadium to middle of an anonymous American suburb. It is true that the picture is not very sexy. For cons, the concept does not apply at home, where the results were, however, means just as in 2009. Except at home, we must do better, that's key. The "Maestro" Dos Santos is well aware and openly said after the game against Portland: "It loser to be happy with a draw at home. But we'll take it anyway. "
Yes, that loser to be happy with a draw, if you will. But it also illustrates particularly a problem of mentality. The Impact is struggling to snatch the points because it shows up not on the field as a conqueror. It does not leave the locker room with an attitude that says "we are masters in the field", as was previously the case (and when, obviously, the following results). No, these days, our players will point to the field, at home or on the road, with a superiority complex. "Austin? Pff, what is this shit?" We played against Atlante and Bordeaux us. "Yeah, and then? In the meantime, you Austin plant goals and you're ridiculous in the field, guys ...
But where it becomes infinitely ironic is that if one side, Dos Santos explains that loser is to be happy with a draw at home, and on the other, the Impact is clearly the top teams less "glamorous" world of football in North America, when we advanced to Toronto, we sit there and we suffer, much like clay pigeons, and we start to play when it's already bad beginning. In sum, the paradox and is almost perfect, you go to Toronto with an inferiority complex as big as a house.
superiority complex on the one hand, complex of inferiority of the other. Will you have to plug guys, because there is no step between D2 and the MLS. All this shows that there a lot of work to do on the group mentality. We'll have to get the message: if you wear the emblem of the Montreal Impact, gentlemen, you can not play as if you were just there to cash your paycheck, you MUST give their all every time. That is to say they're pleased and proud to play for the Montreal Impact when you sign a contract Sparkle. Must still prove it on the ground before, during and after the match.
