VANCOUVER — The surging Vancouver Whitecaps are trying to strike a delicate balance.
With the club on the precipice of a historic start to the season, the 'Caps need to harness the momentum of their success without letting it get to their heads, assistant coach Michael D'Agostino said this week.
With a 3-1 road win over FC Dallas last week, Vancouver matched its record for the best three games to start a season, set back in 2012. Another victory would see the Whitecaps set a new bar for most points collected through the first four games during the Major League Soccer era. Each of Vancouver's six goals this season has been scored by a different player. White — who led the club with 15 goals last season — put away his first of the year in Dallas last week."We’ve been saying since the beginning of the pre-season that we need to flood the box, get numbers in, get crosses in that give us more opportunity to score goals," White said."So the more guys we get scoring goals, the more goals that we score, the better chance we have to win.
Managing each player's emotions will be key not just Saturday but throughout the rest of the season, said D'Agostino, who's set to lead the sidelines for a fourth and final game as head coach Vanni Sartini serves out his suspension.
