Toronto FC is one of the three teams in Major League Soccer still without a win this season, sitting 14th in the Eastern Conference. Coach Robin Fraser expresses the urgency of securing that first victory, feeling the weight of anticipation as they approach their ninth game. Real Salt Lake also faces challenges, ranking 10th in the Western Conference with a record of three wins and five losses. Coach Pablo Mastroeni reflects on the difficulties of developing a young squad while balancing the need for immediate results.
When the season starts - I think I feel this way every season I've ever coached - you can't wait to get the first win. And when you win your first game of the year, it's the best feeling, because now that monkey's off your back.
It's about balance. Our roster is a young one, so what drives me every day is that development takes time. You've got to make a lot of mistakes, a ton of them.
