Toronto FC’s Danny Koevermans ready for big debut against FC Dallas – MLS News
Major League Soccer outfit http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Danny-Koevermans-c10211, earlier this month. However, due to MLS rules for summer transfers, the player was restricted to sport TFC jersey until July 19.
The moment has finally arrived. Koevermans is all set to make his mark at the pastures new, but his first team will not be an easy target. The Canadian outfit take on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Dallas-c39095 on Wednesday, July 20 at BMO Field in a week-20 MLS fixture.
The Dutch import felt confident about his debut against one of the toughest contenders for the MLS Cup title. "I'm here to score goals, you know that as a striker it’s your duty to score. If you don’t, you fail. That simple!"
The player told the media that the transfer was possible because of the Reds’ head coach, Aron Winter. Koevermans shared one year with his compatriot at http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sparta-Rotterdam-c40567 in the 2000/01 season. The team had to face relegation blushes from Eredivisie and Winter
retired from active play.
The former Dutch national team coach has not only been handed over the reins of the Reds as head tactician, he also holds the post of technical director, and that made Koevermans’ move possible to the Canadian club.
“It was the last years of his career and it was the start of my career," said Koevermans. "The world is small. I never expected to come here, but he was here and called me," said the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/PSV-c40281 player.
The 32-year-old has scored a whopping 136 goals in his 11-year football career to date and also was capped four times by the national team in 2007.
The Reds have been lacking a consistent goal poacher in the outfit. Since the departure of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dwayne-De-Rosario-c11765, the 4-3-3 formation has been in complete ruins. Currently at 8th spot in the Eastern Conference, TFC have scored a mere 17 goals in 21
games.
With the pedigree of scoring a goal almost every other game, the player can be relied upon to guide the team to MLS playoffs.
