Ronny Deila: "I think we can have a stronger leadership and a stronger hunger in the team."

Normally we’d spend the Friday before a match running a preview of Saturday’s game, but, uh, look here’s the whole preview: Atlanta is not good, Toronto is also not good and just launched the contracts of one of the worst DP pairings in MLS history into the sun as soon as it became econimically feasible There’s no Federico Bernardeschi or Lorenzo Insigne to worry about. There’s just the empty, burned-out husk of a team they left behind.*

*Note: This does not mean Atlanta United is going to win.

Instead, I wanted to talk about an exchange I had with Ronny Deila at yesterday’s training session. It starts at 2:29 here.

Driving up to the training ground, I had Chris Henderson’s quote/semi-ominous warning from his 92.9 interview on my mind.
