Is it beginning to feel like 2021 again for New England Revolution<\/a> star Carles Gil<\/a>?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n That year\u2019s Landon Donovan MLS MVP, Gil continued his torrid form on Saturday with a stunning first-touch volley golazo that paced the Revs to a 2-0 win<\/a> at Toronto FC<\/a> \u2013 good for their fourth straight victory.<\/p>\n Gil has 5g\/1a this season, all coming during his last six games. Coincidentally, New England have five wins and one defeat during that stretch, moving into Audi MLS Cup Playoffs positioning in the Eastern Conference after going winless through the first four matchdays.<\/p>\n \u201cSince the beginning, we\u2019ve said that we also want to be one of the best teams in the league,\u201d Gil told reporters post-match. \u201cAnd we showed that in the first half, scoring two goals.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201c\u2026 It\u2019s what we want: Be a big team in this league. And right now, we are showing we can do it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Marquee winter signing Leo Campana<\/a> also found the back of the net, scoring for the second straight game as New England appear to have turned a new corner after waiting until Matchday 8 to get their first open-play goal of the season.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s big. We need our strikers to produce goals,\u201d Porter said. \u201cWhen you look at our system and how we\u2019re playing, we\u2019re gonna get the lion\u2019s share of goals from the two strikers and the [No.] 10.<\/p>\n \u201cCarles is producing, and we\u2019re starting to get the strikers going now. Leo with two and [Ignatius] Ganago with one. It felt like we attacked well today.\u201d<\/p>\n So well, the Revs could\u2019ve easily won by a more lopsided scoreline if not for several highlight-reel saves from TFC goalkeeper Sean Johnson<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re a little bit disappointed because we couldn\u2019t score three, four, even five goals in the first half,\u201d Gil said. \u201cFor me, the important thing is to create these types of chances, because it\u2019s coming.<\/p>\n \u201c\u2026 We continue to be a better team.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n For Porter, that\u2019s exactly the kind of attitude that fills him with confidence in his squad.<\/p>\n \u201cThis group is good when they have an edge,\u201d Porter said. \u201cIt\u2019s a tricky game. You know, I\u2019ve been in these types of games a lot. These trap games, playing a team that on the outside looks to be an inferior team. You see these it every week in our league, you see these head-scratcher results.<\/p>\n \u201cWe weren\u2019t gonna let that happen. We\u2019re too hungry.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n <\/main><\/p>\n<\/div>\nGoals start coming<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n
Hungry for more<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n
