Whitecaps Winless No More?

With Houston leading 1-0 late in the game, it appeared as though the Caps’ losing streak would reach six games. However, Becher came in for his MLS debut six minutes later and stepped in front of Lucas Cavallini to poke home an equalizer in the 88th minute. Three minutes later, Cavallini broke the tie to win at B.C. Place.

Becher and Ali Ahmed were promoted to the first team for a match against the Houston Dynamo in August, when the Whitecaps were buried in a five-game losing streak and subsequently saw their lineup ravaged by a COVID-19 outbreak for the second time.

One need is that you must have a short memory, according to the St. Louis University graduate, “You have to kind of be in the present while considering the next opportunity. How do I obtain it? What can I do to prepare for it? Due to the fact that the ball might bounce anywhere in the box and then suddenly be at your expense.”

Becher cited Erling Haaland when he said: “Erling Haaland, a striker for Manchester City, is always looking for more goals. He doesn’t think too much about his past successes or failures. Instead, he concentrates on his next chance to score. He can stay motivated and provide his best work when he adopts this attitude.”
