TORONTO (AP) — While Toronto has yet to record a win in its first two games under Bob Bradley, the veteran coach is already making a difference.
Players say Bradley challenges them to think more about their actions and options on the field. It’s demanding but rewarding, they say.
Just how rewarding will be put to another test Saturday when Toronto (0-1-1) visits high-scoring Columbus (1-0-1).
Toronto, which has given up five goals in two games, will be without suspended star center back Carlos Salcedo and injured fullback Jacob Shaffelburg (leg).
Shaffelburg’s absence may open the door to Kadin Chung, who made his Toronto debut off the bench in last week’s 4-1 loss to the visiting New York Red Bulls.
