The Italians’ Season with Toronto FC

This season, 2024, has been much more positive for Toronto FC compared to previous years. Currently, Toronto FC is in eighth place in the Eastern Conference, accumulating 27 points from 25 games.

With strong chances of making the playoffs this season, John Herdman has significantly changed the team’s mentality, focusing on a winning attitude. The Italians have undoubtedly been crucial for the team’s progress and growth.

Fantastic Statistics for Lorenzo Insigne and Federico Bernardeschi

In another season with Toronto FC, these two players have been pivotal since their arrival. Both joined in 2022 and have played numerous matches for Toronto FC. Federico Bernardeschi has already played 76 games in these three years, while Lorenzo Insigne has appeared in 56 matches.

The difference in their appearances is mainly due to injuries. At 33 years old, Lorenzo Insigne has been more prone to injuries, whereas Federico Bernardeschi has experienced fewer. This season, both players have been very positive.

Lorenzo Insigne has played about 23 matches in 2024, scoring 6 goals and providing 7 assists, making him one of the team’s key players. Federico Bernardeschi has been essential in the team’s offense and playmaking, having played 29 matches, scoring 9 goals, and providing 6 assists. Bernardeschi has played over 2,000 minutes this season, while Insigne has played around 1,500 minutes.

This notable difference is partly due to an injury Insigne suffered at the start of the season. These statistics are impressive, and it’s also worth highlighting that Federico Bernardeschi was named an MLS All-Star this season. His performance has been outstanding, and it is hoped he will continue to excel through the remainder of the season.

Similarly, it is hoped that Lorenzo Insigne can stay healthy and continue to compete at the highest level in MLS. Both players are expected to lead Toronto FC’s push towards the Canadian Championship final, facing a tough opponent in Forge FC. Undoubtedly, these two players have been the most relevant and standout performers for Toronto FC this season.
