A Cdn club hiring a European coach, having a more significant number of European or European-bred players, a la Martins, Rivas or Bernier; these things tend to irritate you and yesterday’s miscommunication conc. Arnaud as captain or not by the head coach indicates – for you – a spiraling problem for the Impact.
I believe that 1) perhaps you should learn French and understand better what is REALLY going on in Montreal and 2) like your cohort Twelman, get over Marsch’s release in December.
JS, NDS and the whole coaching and technical staff have chosen to return to where the Impact come from, i.e. a blended European and N.A. approach in all that is soccer.
Because the Impact are going against the grain w their MLS choices doesn’t mean they are right nor does it mean, should they have some bumps in their quest, that they have failed and the N.A. approach is the only one that works.
Bull….t! For over 15 the Impact have won season championships and league titles, quite a few btw, w this blended approach of home-bred, European style players w an Italian connection, people such as yourself should pay attention w a dose of respect and much less cynicism.
