It’s over for the Impact in Florida.
What to remember from this 1-0 defeat where the Montrealers forgot to get out of the blocks against Orlando?
South the car:
“The team that wins this tournament will be the one that makes the fewest mistakes. “
The Impact coach saw more than fair in his comments last week. In the end, it was not one of the magnificent constructions of Orlando that sank Henry’s men. It’s a stupid mistake in defense.
The numbers of 6/49 with that Thierry?
On my hunger:
Bojan remains homeless in the XI of the Impact.
At the time of his signing, the Spaniard was being sold as an opportunity the club could not pass up. A year later, it feels like no one has taken the time to wonder what role we wanted to offer him after his signing.
While Bojan’s struggles can be attributed to his position on the pitch, the same can’t be said for Orji Okwonkwo.
The recipient of the Giuseppe Saputo trophy for 2019, still plays on his favorite right side. However, he seems to be short of physical form.
The burst of speed that made it a dangerous weapon in the corridor flew away during confinement. Hopefully she will be back when the championship resumes early in late August. Without it, the Nigerian becomes a more than ordinary player.
On the key:
Thierry Henry’s starting lineup offered continuity with the previous match. Without changing the outcome, his changes still had a positive influence on the meeting.
He may not have avoided the elimination of his team, but the last two outings of his troops have offered observations that will be useful for the future.
Would greater stability at the start of the tournament have benefited the Impact in the round of 16? Quite possible.
It is still the players who must take responsibility for the setback on Saturday. As Samuel Piette said after the game, many of them have to look in the mirror to assess their commitment to the Impact jersey.
On the right track :
Clément Diop’s performances in Florida did not cement his place as No. 1.
Beyond the lack of communication with Rod Fanni which leads to the game-winning goal against Orlando, Diop seemed to run out of benchmarks during the tournament. Especially on the centers. An aspect of his game that was already causing some trouble before the pandemic.
I don’t know if Evan Bush is on his way to regaining his post, but more than ever he must hope to get back on the ground.
At present, would your choice stop on Bush or Diop?
