This was by far one of my favorite things Pascal Jansen has brought up in a press conference. Jansen revealed that he showed #NYCFC a video of Kobe Bryant explaining that he was able to stay confident when he played because he was confident in his training and preparation:

The lineup may be missing key contributors but New York City FC still has its old reliable playoff hero, a goalkeeper good enough to produce game-changing saves, and a defensive spine strong enough to withstand an onslaught while earning another unforgettable playoff road win
NYCFC stun Philadelphia at Subaru Park, book spot in Eastern Conference Final
Maxi Moralez reprised the role of playoff hero, Matt Freese made multiple match-saving stops, and a depleted New York City FC squad pulled off a major road upset against the Supporters' Shield winners...

I think the league would be ok with Messi vs Müller. But, of course, having the final in Vancouver would be really nice.

NYCFC beating Charlotte twice on the road, and then going to Philadelphia and winning there is an incredible feat.

Tayvon Gray's contribution at the start of this move is as important as the rest of it.
A nicely worked team goal scored by Maxi Moralez defeated Supporters' Shield winner Philadelphia Union and sent New York City into an Eastern Conference final against Messi and Miami.

The Shield-winning Union just lost at home to a team starting a left back and a child in central midfield, and their No. 10 as their No. 9.

The answer re: Philly's game model, once again, is "no."
