Surging New York City FC will look to set a club record when it travels to Vancouver on Wednesday to take on the angry Whitecaps, who are coming off their most lopsided loss of the season.
NYCFC (10-5-3) is red hot, having won four consecutive matches. A win over the Whitecaps would set the franchise mark for the longest MLS win streak at five.
NYCFC coach Patrick Vieira isn’t overly concerned about the streak and instead is trying to keep his squad focused on what he expects to be a motivated Vancouver squad.
“Before thinking about trying to win the game, we need to perform, to play with the right attitude — we need to have the same concentration and focus we’ve had in the last few games, and that will allow us to have a chance to win the game,” Vieira told the team’s website.
