bringing ensure goes habits kinds players setting towards
Bringing in some experienced players here to ensure day in and day out that we are establishing the right kinds of habits ... goes a long way towards setting a tone.
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.
attack both complete count determine fill forward freedom game given hall hang hard needs player plays pushed role sure understand
We've pushed him hard to be a more complete player, a two-way player and I think it's important for him to understand that. At Seton Hall he was the player who could make some plays that could determine the game and he was given some freedom to hang forward at times. I'm not sure he'll fill that role here. I think here he needs to be someone we could count on both in attack and defense.
excellent game good great happy jason jonathan left moves players sees team three trade
It was good for our team to trade the first pick, because we got three excellent players and not just one. Jason is a great defender. I like the way Sacha sees the game and the way that Jonathan moves on the left side. I'm really happy about our picks.
bring build good group hard improve others players possibilities quickly time top work
It's very important to work hard during this time to build a very good roster from top to bottom. We have a big group of players in. There are some that we will quickly let go and we will bring others in and try to use this time to look at different possibilities for how to improve our roster.
cruel game happen mean mentioned obvious players progress remind today true united
We're a different team. We are making progress. That doesn't mean it's always going to happen all at once. The game can be cruel sometimes. I still remind the players that that's true on all levels. I mentioned Bayern Munich-Manchester United to them today because that is one of the most obvious examples.
addition excellent great hopeful john last player plays terms touches
We're hopeful that we can put the last touches on that. We all know that John is an excellent player that I think would be a great addition in terms of the way he plays and the things that he does on the field.
areas balanced bunch fun game good highlights players playing pressure puts seem team work
I think you have to make it a two-way game that puts them under pressure and highlights some of the areas where they are not as strong. Give them credit. They've had a good season. They're a balanced team and work hard. They've got a bunch of players that have been together, know each other and seem to have fun playing together.
care center expecting field guys helping inside players understanding wide
Our wide players have to (have) a better understanding of when they're out wide, when they're helping inside ... especially on a wide field. They can't be standing out by the touchlines and now expecting that one or two guys in the center of the field are going to take care of everything.
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.
attitude building great guys hard help knew number player plus process team terrific works
When he was let go, I knew in our building process that having a player like Timmy can only help us in all ways. Timmy is a great professional and he's a plus to every team he's on. He works hard every day. He has a terrific attitude and mentality. He can play a number of positions. He's one of the fittest guys on the team.
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.
coming fits players silly start talking team trial
All of that fits with how a team is coming together. When you have new players and trial players and everything else, it's silly to start talking about anything else.
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.
