Toronto FC’s Jonathan Osorio exudes confidence en route to MLS milestone
TORONTO — One game away from his 150th for Toronto FC in MLS regular-season play, Canadian midfielder Jonathan Osorio continues to bloom on the soccer pitch.
“It’s a blessing, honestly,” Osorio said of the milestone, which he should hit Friday when Toronto (3-6-1) entertains FC Dallas (4-1-5).
“To hit it that at (age) 25 means you’ve got to be playing regularly for most of your career … I’m happy,” he added.
But his focus this year is more on minutes than games played, Last season, he played in 27 league outings but only saw 1,060 minutes action — for an average of 39.2 minutes a game.
