The question to Frank Lampard, New York City FC’s star midfielder, was a simple one: What is the approach to Sunday’s Eastern Conference semifinal second-leg match against Toronto FC at Yankee Stadium?
“To win 3-nil,’’ the former Manchester City star said. “I don’t think we have to panic.’’
Panic? No. But the task is daunting for NYCFC. The club is proud of qualifying for the playoffs in just its second year of existence, but it would like to stay a little longer.
Because of that, though, NYCFC is faced with having to overcome its 2-0 loss at Toronto in last Sunday’s first leg.
