level passes specific strung together
No one else has this specific kind of (artificial) turf. You have to up your level of concentration, because you are not going to get used to it in 90 minutes. We concentrated and strung some passes together and did well with it.
favorite guys pony ride running since word
He has been magnificent since the All-Star break, and especially on the road. The guys around him are running off him very well. My favorite word for him is the catalyst. He makes everyone else around him better, and we are going to ride that pony as long as we can.
battle both extra home sides soccer
They play soccer on both sides of the ball. They are attack-minded. They are going to battle you for 90 minutes. At home they have a little extra zip.
ball central combine former known left mine ncaa player quite raised residency strong system tyson watched
We have known about Tyson for quite some time. He was raised in the Irvine Strikers system under a former player of mine who swears by him. We have watched him in the NCAA quarterfinals, the combine and when he was in the residency program. He is a strong central defender, strong with the ball and left footed.
ball determined four needed passed perfect responsibility shots talked three tried
We needed to be more accurate, more precise, and sometimes more determined because we passed on some shots. At halftime, we talked about at least three or four shots that were there where we passed the ball - passed the responsibility - or tried to set up the perfect shot.
came everywhere goals guys hard maybe pointed won
We came here to win, ... I pointed out to the guys before that we'd won everywhere (in MLS) but here. It was there. Maybe at the end of the day, it was a just result. But it's hard to give up two goals on restarts.
anyone came good last league lesser perform realistic team
We came here. We attacked. The better team doesn't always win. We were not the lesser team last week. We were not the lesser team this week. I'm always a realistic optimist. We are as good as anyone in this league when we perform like we know we can.
career gifted high obviously opportunity saw school work
We obviously had the opportunity to see Will. I think we saw Will his whole high school career and some sessions when he would come out and work with us. From day one he impresses you. He is, technically, a very gifted individual.
contend energy level match plays
We all know what energy level he plays at. We have to contend with that and we have to match that.
artistry ball credit dominated effort finally games goals hanging hard majority matter riding scrappy stand technical time today vast won
Today wasn't a matter of hanging in there. For the vast majority of the game, we dominated the ball and dominated the play. We all know that games aren't just won on artistry and on ball possession. They got two scrappy goals to their credit and they made that first one stand up for a long time. When we finally answered, they got another one. You congratulate them for their effort and grit. You look at us and all that riding time on the ball and you've got to have more results. I thought we had more opportunities today than they did. That's a positive. Games aren't always won by tactical and technical things, they are sometimes won by hard work. They got the better of us in that way.
