Some might think that the match against Vancouver Whitecaps will be easy for New York City FC. An idea also due to the fact that Torrent's team is proving to be in great shape. The victory in the derby against Red Bulls brought even more enthusiasm to the team. But beware, woe to underestimate the Vancouver game. New York City FC must not make the mistake of underestimating a game that is fundamental for the standings.
New York City FC must maintain its own identity, way to play and humility. Now is not the time to lose the mind and do more than is possible. New York does not have to take the risk of burning the good done up to now. Torrent will have to pass on these fundamental concepts to the team, serving humility and work, not thinking about the standings and putting aside the enthusiasm for the derby won. There is also to consider the good performance of Vancouver on their own turf. The Whitecaps have gone unbeaten in seven home games and are one of three teams that have defeated LAFC this season.
It won't be an easy game for New York City FC. Indeed, it will be an important test for the Torrent team. A game where New York City FC will test the maturity of a team that finally seems to be in his year of grace.
