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.
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.
establish guys piece pushing start training
Things establish themselves. Every day, the training is right and guys are pushing each other and then from that we are able to start to piece the little things together.
cause cautious continues knee necessary problems time
It's necessary to be cautious as he comes back this time because the knee continues to cause some problems for him.
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.
across ball chances cheating coming continue early foot game goal good half hard jeff obviously push ryan second thinking tony tough turned until worked wrong
Not good goals, obviously a ball turned over early in the first half and Ryan Pore was able to get Jeff on the wrong foot and Tony was cheating a little bit, thinking that the ball was coming across and he got caught. We worked hard to get back to 1-1. Now to continue that push and keep the game even until we get chances to win. Again, early in the second half, it was a tough goal to give up.
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.
add age asked believe forget hard help last minute worked year
I still believe that Ramon can help us with that. Last year ... I feel like Ramon worked very hard but I feel sometimes he was asked to do so much by himself. Forget the age for a minute -- no one can do it by (himself). It has to be collective. I still feel he can add to that.
ability believe brings inside mentality organize people team terms tremendous understanding
I still believe that Claudio's experience, his ability to organize the defense, what he brings on the inside of the team in terms of mentality and team building, I just think he's a tremendous asset. He has a tremendous understanding of how to organize people around him, of how to communicate, of how to make (people) better and I think that will go a long way for our team.
along enticing few field gauge next push
It's important that we push him along but not push him to do too much too soon, so we've got to gauge that in the next few days. It's always enticing to get him on the field as much as we can.
area continue exhibition games good looks matter seeing training
It's an area where we must improve. It's early. It's still a matter of seeing in training and in some of the exhibition games how things work, where we need to continue to focus, who looks good and that kind of stuff.
good looking miracle takes work
It takes a lot of work to come back from two goals. I thought we had some good chances. At the end you are looking for a miracle and we got one.
alone ball continue good harder mentality midfield talk win work
When I talk about the mentality and how we play and how we're organized, all of that has to work so that now in the midfield we are harder to play against. It's not enough to think that we're good with the ball and that alone will win every game. We want to continue to be good with the ball but that must work now collectively.
