“So far, based on results, we know we are not the best,” said Laurent Guyot last Tuesday when discussing the rocky start to the 2018 USL season for Toronto FC II. “I’m confident in the potential of this team, but step by step we have to show better character, better personality to get more and better results.”
Eight matches into the campaign, Toronto has yet to win. Their only two points have come from a pair of scoreless draws; goals have been hard to come by as well, with three total thus far.
But such metrics are not what Guyot emphasizes to his players.
