Impact spirits up after first road win, Dzemaili arrival, for meeting with Crew
MONTREAL — With the arrival of designated player Blerim Dzemaili and a first away win in their pocket, the Montreal Impact should have plenty of positive energy going into their game against the visiting Columbus Crew on Saturday evening.
Coach Mauro Biello can use Dzemaili as a starter or off the bench if, as expected, he opts to give the Swiss international midfielder his first taste of Major League Soccer action only four days after landing in Montreal from Italian club Bologna FC.
“It doesn’t matter if he’s a DP, if he’s ready and willing to help us win games that’s all that matters,” forward Dominic Oduro said this week. “We’ve seen his abilities.
“He’s a great player. He’s going to push us forward now.”
