One of the brilliant aspects of Toronto FC’s 2017 team was the complementary cohesiveness of the set-up. Greg Vanney and co. assembled a positionally versatile team that possessed players who fit together well.
Jozy Altidore was ideal with his back to goal as an offensive focal point, Sebastian Giovinco was then afforded space to buzz around the American, while Michael Bradley was the ideal deep-lying anchor and conductor to provide structure and balance to the central midfield.
At the heart of it all was creative midfielder, Victor Vazquez, who excelled in behind Giovinco and Altidore.
