Head Coach Alen Marcina
(On the group’s efficiency…)
“On this second I felt, strongly, that we dominated that sport. We should always’ve put them away. The quantity of alternatives, clear-cut alternatives, we created – I get it, we scored three objectives, however we should always’ve put them away. We should always’ve by no means allowed them to have the chance to get again into it. Two particular person errors damage us, so disillusioned in that. Sure, proud that the fellows have been resilient and we get a draw, however we should always’ve comfortably had three factors tonight.”
(On the consequence…)
“Tampa’s a superb group – Tampa’s the most effective group’s within the league this 12 months and traditionally over the past 4 or 5 years and we dominated them. We dominated a brilliant robust group. Disenchanted we didn’t get the three factors, however once more a whole lot of good issues as soon as we clear up these particular person errors.”
(On what the group must do to earn a consequence subsequent week…)
“I say it on a regular basis, but it surely’s focus in crucial moments. Job execution. We practice that each single day. So gamers received to step up, in these key moments, each ends of the ball. Once more we dominated the most effective groups within the league. So a whole lot of positives to take from tonight, once more disillusioned to not earn the three factors, however we did dominate.”
Defender Connor Maloney
(On the draw…)
“Soccer’s an attention-grabbing sport – you noticed tonight, it was a very good group that we performed in Tampa, so we’ve received to present them credit score. We’re up 2-0, they tie it, go up a objective, then we come again and we tie it. So, soccer’s loopy, however I’m happy with the boys once we went down a objective, to get a 3rd objective and tie it up. Nacho [Ignacio Bailone] got here within the sport and proved his price, and received us a objective to get the purpose. In order that’s a constructive, that we went down a objective and we got here again and tied an excellent group in Tampa. In order that’s a constructive from us for certain.”
(On current particular person errors…)
“The blokes within the locker room, we’re very assured in each other. Yeah, particular person errors occur, for certain. And so they did tonight, and we received punished by a very good group in Tampa. So cleansing up these errors goes to be key for our playoff run. As we transfer into playoffs, these moments are what are gonna win us or lose us video games. So we’ve received to wash these up, the remainder of these video games within the common season, after which we go into the playoffs hopefully not making these errors. And I feel the fellows within the locker room are assured that we are able to try this, and I feel the teaching employees does too. So cleansing up these particular person errors, and collective errors, it’ll assist us in the long term, and we’ll study from this stuff and hopefully in playoffs that doesn’t occur.”
