Daniel Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Apparently the least convincing 8-1 win after. Pizz and Kolic were taken off after a short time for ridiculous defensive blunders. http://www.impactmontreal.com/news.asp?no_id=348 IMPACT: 8 MCGILL REDMEN: 1 The Montreal Impact won its second consecutive pre-season game, beating the McGill Redmen 8-1 Wednesday, at the Catalogna Soccerpexe in Lachine. Forward Matt Palleschi, who is trying to earn a spot on the team, scored two goals for the Impact (12th and 22nd). The other Impact scorers were: Mauro Biello (17th), Sandro Grande (44th) Antonio Ribeiro (60th), Patrick Leduc (65th), Frederick Commodore (76th) and Nicolas Lesage (88th). Jamie Scholefield scored the only goal for the Redmen (29th). Impact goalkeepers Greg Sutton and Andrew Olivieri each played a half. With a 4-1 lead at the half, Impact head coach Nick DeSantis changed his lineup for the second half, practically using all his players. COMMENTS Montreal Impact head coach Nick De Santis: “It was a positive game because we scored eight goals, but there is still a lot of work to do, notably on the defensive aspect. We allowed two goals in two games so we need to be more disciplined in the back and stay focused.” Impact captain Mauro Biello: “Pre-season games are there for us to improve our system of play. We will have to work hard in the next days to find our rhythm.” IMPACT LINEUP Greg Sutton (Andrew Olivieri 45), Mauricio Vincello (Masahiro Fukasawa 45), Gabriel Gervais (Abraham François 45), Adrian Cann (Nevio Pizzolitto 45, Braz 66), Adam Braz (Sita-Taty Matondo 45), Mesut Mert (Alpha Bah 45), Mauro Biello (Antonio Ribeiro 45), Lars Lyssand, Sandro Grande (Patrick Leduc 45), Eduardo Sebrango (Nicolas Lesage 45), Matt Palleschi (Darko Kolic 45, Frederick Commodore 55).

L.T. Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 Matt Palleschi - I coached him. Good kid, great nose for the net. He also attended some of the Lynx training. For selfish reasons I'd like to see him end up in Toronto, but for him as well, because he'd have more opportunity to play. I'd like to keep tabs on him, if anyone from Montreal gets any updates.

Bxl Boy Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 He was there since the beginning but there was confusion between him and Budreski ! So, from what I've seen so far, he's good but hasn't the level for the Impact yet Maybe as 6th striker, training a whole year with the team could be good for him But he should have few chances playing (he shouldn't but could as the Impact has as usual a lack on strikers) He's fairly good against poor opposition but shows his weaknesses against stronger teams He's on run with Lesage for the last striker spot in the squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue and White Army Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 What, no photos, Daniel? I know you have a camera - I saw it in Wales! But from the small, grainy pic on the Impact website, it almost looks as if McGill are wearing CSA kits with their name written across the middle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
