This time the Portland Timbers could not hoist the league trophy as its champions. Instead, these had to watch on how the local Atlanta United lads celebrated loudly their feat. However, despite the loss, this is not over, at the contrary this is just beginning for the these Portland Timbers.
In spite of these coming as underdogs and withstanding any pressure as their Eastern Conference foes. In the end, these succumbed to a well-organized game plan put in the field by Atlanta departing manager Gerardo Tata Martino.
The Five Stripes did come ready to play and these showed their dominance in the course of the whole match. These put on the brakes on the Rose City squad momentum and magic in their game that expose a lot of brilliance during the postseason.
Still this was not a total loss for the Portland squad. As this is just the beginning of amazing things to come to Rose City under Giovanni Savarese. Whoever thought that the Timbers were to put on an amazing campaign after a slow start? Hard work and a fighting attitude that brought this squad back into contention and in the end delivered many joys to the best followers not in the US but in the world!
In addition, of this squad in matches in the regular campaign being on the canvas, their fighting spirit made them persevere in the end. Netting wins when these were in need and put them in the promised land of the postseason. After beating FC Dallas, Seattle Sounders and Sporting Kansas City, these latter ones seen as a big obstacle for the Portlanders.
These shown in the whole postseason an astonishing and top-notch teamwork. The unity this squad displayed in the campaign and its end, deliver the unthinkable for these Portland Timbers. The way these came up all rallied up after posting a slow game and later seeing an opposite dynamic in it.
If this is, the preview of what Giovanni Savarese will bring us to Rose City. Man, their future looks as bright as ever. This squad does not need to get ahold of big name players to boost their game or campaign. What we have is enough to make an all-around contender in the end.
Proof is the way these performed all campaign long and results speak louder than words. Yes, Portland Timbers fans you are sad of not winning this 2018 MLS Shield. In the end, let us brace for more exciting and incredible things to come. Under Giovanni Savarese being, a proven winner, the future as bright, and promising that he will deliver us more of his magic and winning ways.
