With the Impact leading 1-0 at halftime in Florence on Thursday afternoon, interim head coach Mauro Biello wanted to make sure that his players stayed focused.
"Respect them, but don't fear them", he said to them, in a team huddle before the start of the second half.
And that's exactly what they did, as they kept their one goal lead to finish the year with a good win against Serie A's fourth-ranked team.
