LA Galaxy Postgame Top Quotes
LA Galaxy Head Coach Greg Vanney
On if this LA Galaxy staff has the flexibility to attain the CCC Final:
“We do. We have to get healthy. We have got to get settled in here a little bit.
We look forward to the international break, because we’ll get a couple of weeks of training that we can work on some things, [because] we’re just going from game and recovery to game. So, we have some quality. It’s really difficult to get to the final and to win the final. It’s a challenge. So, we’ve got to do a lot of things well. We’ve got to execute well, but there’s some potential in the locker room for us to be able to do something like that.”
On taking this win and discovering consistency this season:
“I think in MLS, we’ve done our own undoing. We were at home, and in the first match, we were up 1-0, very in control of the game and took a red card on a penalty, which made it 1-1. We end up in a draw. We win the second 3-0, and we looked like we had a complete performance. The third, we take another yellow card, take another red card, and we end up losing a game that we are very much in at 1-1 and playing well. So, I think for us, we can’t be our own worst enemies. We’ve got to be able to, again, find the solutions inside of the game, execute and make sure that we play solid, and we don’t make any mistakes that hurt ourselves. In the last game, again, we had more chances, more opportunity, more possession, which doesn’t always mean everything. We gave up two goals off of two counterattacks, and we need to be cleaner in those situations. We’ve got to take care of our own business, and we’ve got to make sure that we can do a better job of executing on our side.”
On Justin Haak and the place he’ll play probably the most this yr:
“I think he will ultimately settle in for us as a center back, I think he gives us an opportunity sometimes to, within our midfield, to give some guys like Edwin Cerrillo a rest, so he doesn’t have to play every minute of every game, and we can rotate, and he can certainly do an excellent job in there. But in speaking with him too,
I think he’s more comfortable in the back, very comfortable with the ball on his feet, starting attacks, I think, getting comfortable with the partnership with the guys that are around him, because he’s had three different center back partners in various games. So, I think he’ll settle into being a center back as we continue to move forward.”
On how he’s planning to put together for the Quarterfinals in opposition to Toluca:
“Well, we have a short turnaround coming into Portland here on the weekend, so all of our attention will be on that. Then, we have a couple weeks between games because of the international break. As we go through that couple of weeks, we’ll try to prepare for the next series of games, which will include Minnesota home, plus on the road at Toluca, which is always going to be a challenge. It’ll follow with another road game, and then a home game against Toluca, and then another road game. So, the next stretch of games is going to be really difficult. We’ll use the 2 weeks in the international break to sort of try to map out and look at our opponents and see what’s in front of us. Right now, there’s only one thing in front of us that we’re concerned about, and that’s preparing for Portland.”
