MARCO DONADEL
“We played our game. We didn’t take advantage of the 1-0 lead, and the difference was their quality. That’s not enough for this Club. Overall, we’re happy because we played openly against this team and created the same number of chances and shots on target. But on the other hand, we know we could show more desire to win and that we could do more.”
CADEN CLARK
“We have to put this behind us and move forward. We have a chance to win a trophy, and we need to keep that in mind on Wednesday. I think there are a lot of things we can fix, and in some of the games we win, we show that. We just need to get into those areas more often and build better chemistry.”
GEORGE CAMPBELL
“I think if we’re up 1-0, we have to take advantage of that opportunity. We need to make sure we play like we did against New York City FC. We have to defend better as a team, communicate more, and on the field, we need to stick to the game plan. Just because we’re winning—or even if we’re losing—doesn’t mean we should stray from our plan. We have to stick to it as a team, myself included. We’re all individuals playing as a team.”
