Guillermo Barros Schelotto’s squad battles MLS opposition for the first time when the blue white and gold take on TFC this Saturday (7:30 pm, Spectrum SportsNet) at the newly branded Dignity Health Sports Park.
A new era has kicked off. Yes, it’s merely a preseason tune-up. All the hard work the players have put into Javier Valdecantos’ grueling training regimen will likely take a few more weeks to bear fruit.
And yet there is genuine excitement from a fanbase eager to observe the ideas the Schelotto twins have imposed on the squad. Earlier this week Ola Kamara notched a brace as a LA Galaxy side deployed in a 4-4-2 formation dominated David Villa and Andres Iniesta’s Vissel Kobe.
