defense field jeff keeps
Jeff hasn't scored yet, but for his side, just Jeff being on the field keeps their defense honest.
exciting huge missed scoring threat
I think it's huge just to get him back on the field. His leadership, his determination, his abilities, his threat of scoring goals, it's just exciting to have him back. We've missed him.
both defensive happy jason mistake played shape worked
I thought we played well in both halves. Unfortunately we had one mistake in our defensive shape and they put in the rebound, but it worked out in the end. I can't tell you how happy I am for Jason (Kreis) to get that goal.
simple talking
When he's talking about doing the simple things, the formula's the same. I know how he feels.
bury matter pick pressure spot
Gomez, Jaime, Freddy, they can play some ball. If you don't put pressure on them, they're going to pick their spot and they're going to bury it. It really doesn't matter who was in goal.
burst came coming fine pad picked push since solid stepped toe turn
He's been solid since we picked him up. I think someone stepped on his toe or something so that's why he came out of the game. We put a little pad under it, so I think that's why he wasn't able to turn and push but he was fine coming back for the ball. But after that he didn't have that burst that he had in the first half.
best card gets smartest yellow
I think the smartest thing to do would be to not use Freddy. If he gets another yellow card he will be out for second-round match. So I think the best thing to do would be to give him a rest.

He's been a warrior. He's played some good games in a lot of pain, and I certainly appreciate everything Paul has given us to try and make us more competitive during this stretch.

Freddy may be 16, but he can still place the ball as well as anyone.

For us, mentally, we're pretty confident in how we're playing and what we can do, so we'll just keep building.
constantly guys heals running wants
He wants to go forward, and especially at Spartan Stadium, you were constantly on your heals with those guys running at you.
best bring exactly figure gave handle knows week
He knows how to bring the best out of a player. He has you for a week and he knows exactly how to handle you. He just gave me guidelines. I went out there and he let me play and figure things out for myself.
both danny fairly played
I would say Danny is getting more and more comfortable. I thought he played fairly well in both games.
