The words of CF Montreal head coach, Hernan Losada, will not reassure the club’s supporters.
On Thursday, the Argentinian was asked about the pressure weighing on his team which is trying to ensure its participation in the Major League Soccer (MLS) qualifiers.

“There’s no pressure, because no one believes we’ll make the playoffs. So, we are in a position that no one or few people imagined,” he responded, specifying that the players, staff members and fans were not among those who did not believe in it. .
“The outside world doesn’t believe we can qualify for the playoffs,” Losada added. What is pressure? There is pressure on all the teams who have invested millions [de dollars] to win the championship. It’s up to them to make it to the playoffs and keep up the pressure. It’s not ours. We’re going to play and we’re going to try to do as much as possible.”
“At the end of the season we could also say that we gave everything. There will be nothing to say and we will stay together until the end.”
As of today, CF Montreal is eighth in the MLS Eastern Conference with a record of 11-4-15 and 37 points.
In the Garber circuit, the teams which finish the regular season in the eighth and ninth levels of their association will play a play-off match to reach the playoffs.
CF Montreal will play its next match this Saturday. The Bleu-Blanc-Noir will visit Orlando City FC.
