in team history, The Montreal Impact have a new head coach, a new captain and
are looking to build on their success. TSN soccer analyst Noel Butler tells you
everything you need to know about the 2014 Impact, while TSN soccer analyst
Jason deVos tells you how they will succeed or fail during the new campaign.
Noel Butler: Even with little turnover to the playing squad the off-season was
far from quiet down Saputo Stadium way. In mid-December the Impact finally
announced it had not exercised Marco Schällibaums option and that ex-Fire head
coach, Frank Klopas would take over. Klopas inherited a squad of 21 returning
players and by the time camp opened in late January that numbered had been
enlarged to 28. Those additions included defender Eric Miller, who was selected
5th in this years SuperDraft. Then came the news Nelson Rivas had signed a new
contract - the Columbian missed the entire 2013 campaign. Just before the club
departed for the Disney Classic two more recruits were added. Attacking
midfielder Andrés Romero, a player who showed much promise in early 2013,
returned on another season long loan. Plus the club announced the signing of
21-year old Uruguayan striker, Santiago González. Bonus to those off-season
moves evolves round two signings from last July. Hernán Bernadello, the clubs
second designated player, was limited to only eight MLS appearances last season.
Disrupting and orchestrating as he goes, Bernadello will sit in front of a
defense which looked far from sure of itself during the pre-season. The other is
central defender Adrián López, who is yet to feature in a league match. A torn
ACL, occurring during a collision in training, ended the 27-year old Spaniards
season. A fully fit López will feel like a new signing for the club. The move to
hire as an assistant coach a defensive specialist, in Nikolaos Kounenakis was
further enhanced with the announcement Alessandro Nesta had been added to the
backroom staff. Nesta has officially joined as a consultant, tasked to analyze
video. Much has been made of the fact Marco Di Vaio will miss the opening three
matches. It could have been far worse. For most of last summer it seemed one of
the leagues best performers in 2013 would not return for 2014 at all. Di Vaio
will not score as freely as he did in 2013. Someone then who must shoulder more
responsibility and finally return the faith shown in him by the club, is Andrew
Wenger. Appearing in 24 league matches in his second season as a professional
it still remains a complete mystery how the first overall pick in 2012s
SuperDraft only tallied a solitary goal over that span. The 23-year old must
display a more ruthless streak in front of goal. Berniers appointment as captain
is the greatest testament any MLS club could make. A local product who commands
the respect of teammate and opponent alike, Bernier reflects the very best for
an organization entering its 21st seaason as a professional soccer club.

Kayano 20 Australia. When appointed, Klopas stated his philosophy has
always been to look at the long run. Even in a league where parity prevails,
only the most optimistic of the Impact faithful can realistically expect an
immediate return to the playoffs this season. In a conference which includes the
Supporters Shield and MLS Cup winners, then factor in the wholesale changes and
upgrades in Toronto, there can be no denying Klopas has his work cut out to
build on 2013s achievements. TSN Soccer analyst Jason deVos weighs in on how
the Impact will succeed or fail during the 2014 season. Jason deVos: Montreal
Impact will succeed if… …they find a partner for Matteo Ferrari at the back, and
get goals from anyone not named Di Vaio. With the retirement of Alessandro Nesta
(who has moved into a consultancy role with the club), Montreal need to find a
starting centre back to partner Ferrari. Every indication was that this player
would be Nelson Rivas, but his horrendous injury history has continued this
season, and he looks unlikely to be fit to start the season. Wandrille Lefèvre
has looked capable in pre-season, and he will likely get the first opportunity.
If that fails, expect right fullback Hassoun Camara to slide inside. Up front,
Marco Di Vaio is suspended for the first three games, due to his red card in the
2013 MLS Cup playoff loss to the Houston Dynamo. He will continue to score goals
for the Impact, but it is supplemental scoring that is a concern for new head
coach, Frank Klopas. No other player came close to hitting double digits last
season, and unless that is rectified in 2014, Di Vaio will come under immense
pressure to continue finding the back of the net. Montreal Impact will fail if…
…any of their key players go down with lengthy injuries or suffer a poor run of
form. The likes of Ferrari, Di Vaio, Hernan Bernardello and new skipper, Patrice
Bernier must remain fit and available if the Impact are to succeed this season.
The Impact have problem areas in their team - their entire left flank being one
of them - and they simply cannot afford to have the spine of their team go
missing. If any of their key players struggles with injury or form, there are
very few like-for-like options available. The one with the most pressure on his
shoulders is last years leading scorer, Di Vaio, whose 20 goals were the reason
that Montreal made the playoffs. If anyone can handle that pressure, though, it
is the Italian. If only the Impact could find another like him. 2013 finish:
14-13-7 (fifth in Eastern Conference). Lost to Houston in Knockout Round. Whos
