Impact can’t take slumping Union lightly in quest for first away victory
MONTREAL — The message to the Montreal Impact from coach Mauro Biello this week was about overconfidence.
Just because they are coming off their first win of the Major League Soccer season and have the foundering Philadelphia Union next up on the schedule, that doesn’t mean an automatic three points.
“That was number one on the agenda,” said Biello, whose club visits the Union on Saturday afternoon. “We need to go with an urgency and a playoff mentality.”
It’s not as if the 10th-place Impact (1-2-3) are leagues ahead of the 11th-place Union (0-4-2), even if their spirits are up after a 2-1 victory at home over 10-man Atlanta.
