Toronto FC players enjoyed a relaxed practice Monday, the sound of laughter echoing around BMO Field.
On Tuesday, however, the MLS team wakes up with a target on its back as it travels to Torreon, Mexico, forSantos Laguna vs Toronto FC (TFC) second leg of its CONCACAF Champions League semifinal with Santos Laguna.
Toronto FC manager Aron Winter expects his squad to hear it in Mexico on and off the pitch, including at the team hotel in advance of Wednesday's game.
"That's normal in those countries," said Winter, who equates a game in the cauldron of Mexico to playing in front of rabid fans in Turkey. "I think that it's going to start the moment we land in Torreon."
