Midfielder Samuel Piette has no intention of letting the Canadian team down on the international stage even if he didn’t pitch during the last World Cup or the recent Copa America.
In an interview with the RDS before the game between CF Montreal and the New York Red Bulls, Piette, who had not played a game before Wednesday in the last 46 days, was categorical: there was no question about refusing invitations from the National team. “I know there are questions about whether I should leave the national team to focus on my club. For me, that’s not even an option. I think the two go well together. If your club does well, that’s your chance of being called up to the national team. »
Piette knows he can help Canada in many ways and is willing to settle for whatever seat the leaders want to give him. “For me, my role in the team will always be in the hands of the coach, who is currently Jesse Marsch. If he believes that I can help the team, as we saw at the Copa America even if I wasn’t playing, but by being there for the group in training, the atmosphere or my leadership, he will always be happy for for me to answer. I will never turn my back on the national team. »
Now that the international calendar is a thing of the past, Piette, who played his 176th game with the CFM on Wednesday which allows him to join Evan Bush for the first in club history, is keen to finish his MLS season finish strongly. help the Montrealers reach the playoffs.
He believes that he and his teammates have the knife between their teeth and that they must take advantage of the fact that the squad is full to collect points as they hope to play after the regular season.
