Whitecaps FC head coach Marc Dos Santos sees where the game is going, and the ‘Caps are building a roster stacked with players who can withstand the style of play - with Lucas Cavallini personifying the new identity.
“The speed of transition in the game is going to change, it’s becoming faster. Players are better equipped physically,” said Dos Santos on TSN Radio 1040’s Halford and Brough on Monday morning. “The level of intensity of the game and how it’s going to play, it’s just going to be higher and higher. There’s going to be little space for those players that just rely on their technical ability but don’t have the capability and the intensity for where the game is going.
