Lorenzo Insigne and Federico Bernardeschi kicked off life in the MLS in grand fashion following Toronto FC’s 4-0 win over Charlotte.
The pair both joined the Canadian outfit on free transfers after their contracts expired with their respective Serie A clubs, deciding to try a new adventure abroad instead of remaining at home. With Domenico Criscito already in the squad, Toronto have now taken on a distinctly Italian flavour.
At BMO Field in Ontario, Insigne and Bernardeschi both started for Toronto alongside Criscito, ready for a taste of the MLS. After only 10 minutes, Bernardeschi contributed to his first goal after his accurate corner was met by Michael Bradley, who headed it home to make things 2-0.
The former Juventus man continued to fly high, scoring his first goal for Toronto after 31 minutes, netting a long shot to immediately introduce himself to the Canadian fans.
Insigne also had reason to smile, providing a classy back heel assist for Bradley just before half time. He was taken off during the half time break.
Bernadeschi did more in this match than the yrs at juve, – his goal was poor, goalie should have saved that.
Great team link up play for the 4th goal
I think that says more about MLS than Berna
Juve derailed bern career S juve does with most talented players. He should have stayed with Fiorentina. Juve is a black hole that swallows talented players. The proof is in the trail of destroyed careers.
like …del piero, baggio, nedved, pogba [and now his return], inzaghi, zidane, buffon, chiellini, ferrara, davids, platini, zoff, trez, rossi, pirlo, marchisio, zambrotta, tardelli, ravanelli, deschamp, camoranesi to name only a few?
derailed and ‘bern’ [sic]
well argued italian
