MARCO DONADEL
“Our objective in the first half was to fight and to try to show that we could win with maturity. We knew that the environment In New England was not very joyous at the moment. So we wanted to bring the game in a situation where we could take advantage of their frustration. The guys were still quite comfortable even going down immediately 1-0. We had a lot of space to play and when we can play, we have the quality out wide, we can dribble and we can arrive in the box easily. We entered their box almost 40 times. We touch the ball almost 40 times in their box, double than them. But I want to highlight, honestly, the behaviour. I want to thank these guys that in this moment of emergency, they really gave everything on the field.”
OLGER ESCOBAR
“Obviously, I’m very happy for the three points. As a collective, we played very well. We defended very well. So I thought it was really amazing for me. I felt like I had to come on and obviously support the team as much as I could. If it was having to defend for the last 20 minutes that I was in or holding the ball or attacking, I was willing to do anything. When you get put in that position, you have to do whatever is best to support the team.”
DANTE SEALY
“It felt very good to score. As an attacking player, you miss some and you make some. The way the season is going, it's been rough, so those hurt a little more. But I'm a player that never gives up. I keep working, and when I work, I can make some chances for myself and it felt good to put one away today.”
