Tinnerholm: "The season starts for real on Saturday for us"

NYCFC fans know Anton Tinnerholm is good at soccer, and while he may not have been named MLS Defender of Year, the Swede has got his sights set on a different piece of silverware. “In my opinion, I’ve never done a better season than this one,” Tinnerholm reflected. “For me, it’s all about the team now. I’d rather lift a bigger trophy for the team instead of the individual prize.”

Speaking to Ian and Joe, Tinnerholm added that while reaching playoffs should always be the standard. “This is where we want to be and this is where we should be. Now it’s time to take another step.”

Anton underlined the importance of maintaining the momentum and consistency from the performance in the last four matches, but now the real business begins. “The attacking has been fantastic the last couple of games so we’re going to continue what we did,” he added, “It’s a big one coming up. We have to keep on doing what we’ve done.

“The season starts for real on Saturday for us.”
