With the Gold Cup as well as other international competitions swirling in the background, the Vancouver Whitecaps were back at training on Thursday morning at the National Development Centre in what was, admittedly, a very light session.
“They looked like guys coming back after five days off” Marc Dos Santos said following the training session. “You know everything is slow, there are things that take a little bit of time, but i’m used to it.”
Although the session may not have been long, or terribly high in intensity, two things were quite clear from the players’ side of things: they were thankful for the days off after an incredibly frenetic month of May, but they were also happy to be back amongst their teammates and eager to prepare for the challenge of the second half of the season which lies ahead.
