Well, okay, the Impact is having great difficulty when it comes to scoring goals. When we manage to create chances, it's shambles at the net, misfires, posts, repeatedly missed the head, assumed a wedding party scorer ... In fact, things are going badly or very badly. That is so wrong that some see it.
By cons, can anyone claim that this is the main problem of the team? No. And the match on 7 August in Cary, is a striking example. While everyone continues today to talk about the "lack of offensive" Impact, we must recognize that this time, the gulls have created many opportunities and the lack of realism has played tricks on them. However, Montreal has lost this match because of a defense (let's not mince words) crappy. The central hinge, as would anyone want to acknowledge the efforts of Aaboubou, is gone. Pizzolitto misfire, and so goes the captain, so goes the ship, it seems. Right, Braz, not a game off the pace all evening, with its recent period of inactivity to injury, but also to its limited use before his injury in Rochester (one says he s else?). On the left, because De Roux, our mid-offensive-converted-to-left defender favorite, was not there, Billy, the only one of the defensive corps that has not appeared in the field too ...
Brief The defense, once the backbone of the Impact, no longer follows. It is average or bad. And most worrisome is it's like that since April. So what have we made as an adjustment to fix the problem? It turned Joqueviel (for personal reasons) and Pesoli (for a few handfuls of dollars), the two most promising central defenders in the history of the club, according to several ... If the addition of Charles Wesley is a good thing after all (which was made only in the urgency of the moment), obviously, no solution in the medium or long term were considered. And when you think Vincello (best Impact defender in his final season in 2007, remember) has still not been adequately replaced, this concern.
In sum, the real issue of Impact is perhaps not where everyone thinks. In fact, it may not even be on the field.
