counting example good players tone
Certainly, he's one of the players I am really counting on to set a good example and a good tone each day.
feeling good handled sit
I didn't have a good feeling with the way things were handled in New York. It still doesn't sit right with me.
defensive fast guys healthy knew knows matter puts reads seeing shown slow strong terms
I always knew that he would still have defensive qualities. They don't go away. He's not fast but he was never that fast. He reads things. He puts attackers on his terms. He knows how to slow guys down. For me, it was just a matter of seeing one, if he was healthy and two, if he was just really strong in terms of his motivation. I think he's shown both.
best fighter great joined last mentality peter played players respect sets starting team winner
He is a winner and he is a fighter. I had great respect for the way he played when he joined the team last year. That is a great starting point. Peter Nowak was a winner and a fighter and when you have that mentality from your best players it sets the tone.
experience foot goal good left possesses
He is a goal scorer who possesses a good left foot and has had experience with championship teams.
counts definite figure formula happened last picture rest staff year
I know what happened last year but I always try to look at what's going on this year. I try to see the whole picture and try to figure out with the rest of the staff who we think can make us a better team. I don't know if there's a definite formula of how much of last year counts but it's part of what you do every year.
create environment group players provide strong
I know that's really important and yet I also try and create an environment where there's a strong group of players to provide leadership, not just one.
few hopefully interested players seems seen size timeless veteran
I'm interested to see where he is because I have not seen him play in a few years. He's one of these ageless, timeless veteran players that always seems to know how to play in the defense. Hopefully over time we can size that up.
hopeful past slower terms week
In terms of getting him back, it was slower than we all hoped. This past week was disappointing for him and disappointing for us because we were all hopeful to have him on the field.
addition experience help hope terms
In the back I hope that the addition of Claudio Suarez will help because I feel that his experience will go a long way in terms of organization.
assuming bruce clear far gets gone mean ready thus time work
I'm assuming he'll be down in Cary but then it's going to be up to him that all this work that has gone in thus far is going to mean that by the time he gets there he will be ready to go at it every day. Bruce has been pretty clear about that.
fitness full gauge hopefully moving wet
He's still working his way back into full fitness and it's a wet field, so it didn't feel like it made sense to use him. We'll gauge where he is and hopefully we can keep moving along.
coming confidence early gain good ready rest secondly team worked year
The early part of the season, you want to get off to a good start, you want to feel like little things you worked on are coming together, you want to gain some confidence and use that as a springboard for the rest of the year and be ready at the end of the year to, first be in the playoffs, and secondly be a team that can win.
changed field galaxy games gives good great guys heels makeup players ready team
The makeup of our team has changed a great deal. When you put players like Claudio Suarez on the field who have been in so many big games ... players with that kind of experience, it gives us a different mentality. With this group, there will be no concessions. Our guys feel like we're a good team and now we're ready to really go after the Galaxy and try to put them on their heels and really make it a good game.
