Daily News | Joaquín Torres goes from foe to friend in move from Montreal to Union
Sometimes the greatest respect lies between sporting rivals. During the last MLS season, while the Union were chasing LAFC for the Supporters’ Shield and falling short only on games won, CF Montreal was quietly putting together its best season to finish third overall and close behind the Union in the Eastern Conference.
Curtin said that not since the Brazilian player Ilsinho was on the Union roster has the team had fielded a player who is as much a threat off the dribble as Torres.“Torres shows just a little something extra special that maybe we haven’t had in past seasons, a guy that can be one-v-one.”The respect from Torres was mutual, although he hadn’t expected a transfer after Montreal’s good season.
At 5-foot-5, Torres doesn’t seem imposing on the attack, but his guile and skill on the ball often make defenders look silly. “I’m adapting,” said Torres. “In the practices and the [preseason] games I’ve been playing, I felt very comfortable in the position and formations I’m playing. I’m a player who likes to attack one-v-one more than anything, but I also like to combine with my teammates and pass one-touch in tight spaces, trying to assist the forwards to break free in the attack, or convert chances myself.
