Toronto FC captain Michael Bradley leading by example in MLS playoffs
NEW YORK — Prior to the opening game of the MLS season, Toronto FC held a meeting to ensure everyone was on the same page.
“We wanted to clear the air from the past couple of years, understand that this is a new group going forward and we have certain responsibilities to each other, to hold each other accountable and to try to push each other to be the best,” said midfielder Will Johnson.
“Because if there’s no competition, if there’s no accountability, then you don’t have a whole lot. You just have a bunch of guys coming in and working. Most of the teams that are not still playing in November fall in the other end of the spectrum.”
Toronto is still playing, making franchise history with each post-season victory. While the team boasts a deep leadership group, captain Michael Bradley is front and centre.
