Impact add Swiss international midfielder Dzemaili as designated player
MONTREAL — New designated player Blerim Dzemaili is eager to get started with the Montreal Impact.
The Swiss international midfielder arrived at Trudeau Airport on Tuesday to begin a new phase of his career in Major League Soccer after more than a decade with top-division clubs in Switzerland, Italy, England and Turkey.
“For me, it is a challenge,” said Dzemaili. “Even though I played in top leagues I cannot go easy on the pitch because I saw that the football here is not easy.
“I have to be prepared and concentrated as always.”
