NYCFC returned to SUNY Purchase on Wednesday morning with clear heads, full hearts and a collective iron will.
With the 2-0 first leg defeat to Toronto fully worked out of the system following two days away from the game, the team trained in front of the media determined to get themselves on the comeback trail.
RJ Allen, one of the key components in the team’s run to the Playoffs, believes that a positive mind frame is key to NYCFC turning around the deficit and has highlighted the Yankee Stadium factor as decisive to his team’s chances.
“The mentality of the group is really good right now – look, we’re playing in front of our fans and we haven’t lost at home for a while, we’ve won by multiple goals on multiple occasions this season so we’re really positive,” he said.
