There you go, Hi, it's a 4 00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:37.560 new it's a new week, and it's another go round 5 00:00:37.560 --> 00:00:39.799 of sd H A M.

Abe Gordon's going to join 8 00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:50.359 us in about ten minutes or so. We'll catch up 9 00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:54.640 with Abe and we'll hear from Ronnie Daila and Ronald 10 00:00:54.640 --> 00:01:01.000 Hernandez in depth the sound from after the mat I've 11 00:01:01.119 --> 00:01:04.760 pulled and it's long, but it's worth it. And you 12 00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:06.920 know me, I don't like dealing in sound bites, and 13 00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:08.959 the fact that we have the space that we have 14 00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:13.640 is a good thing where we can all just kind 15 00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:17.239 of listen to things in depth and frustrations and all 16 00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:19.040 this kind of stuff. And you definitely hear that from 17 00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:22.640 both Ronnie Dieline from Ronald Hernandez. So we'll catch up 18 00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:25.799 with that and we'll catch up with your thoughts as 19 00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:28.439 we go. Our number two, we're gonna kind of go 20 00:01:28.680 --> 00:01:31.000 and this is where this week we're gonna be kind 21 00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:33.000 of drifting in and out It's a chaos week to 22 00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:37.000 begin with because Atlanta United has Austin on Wednesday, and 23 00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:39.040 we're tracking folks down in Austin to see if they 24 00:01:39.079 --> 00:01:46.280 can catch up with us before Wednesday night. Then on Tuesday, Wednesday, 25 00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:49.920 Thursday Friday, it's the GHSA Championships. You can catch that 26 00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:55.200 on the NFHS network. And let's see me Maddy Jess, 27 00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:58.680 Jason Matteene, the dream atteen, Rod, the voice of the 28 00:01:58.879 --> 00:02:03.560 Athens Rock Lobsters, Luke Winstell, who is a friend of 29 00:02:03.599 --> 00:02:06.560 the network. He's going to be calling matches. Justin Hanover 30 00:02:06.599 --> 00:02:08.400 is going to be calling matches. What we're gonna be 31 00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:12.240 kind of doing for coaches that can't take their noon 32 00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:15.479 hour and be a part of in session at noon, 33 00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:18.039 I've kind of opened the gates up a little bit, 34 00:02:18.599 --> 00:02:22.360 and so in our gap spaces this week, we're gonna 35 00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:24.560 try and catch up with some coaches as they get 36 00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:28.479 ready for their activity in the Championships. To that effect, 37 00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:30.599 Scott Snyder, the head coach at Westminster, is going to 38 00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:33.199 join us at ten. Micah Aiken, the coach at Marist, 39 00:02:33.240 --> 00:02:35.719 is going to join us at ten twenty. So that'll 40 00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:40.680 get us kind of into the GHSA Championships. No soccer 41 00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:45.439 is in session today. That picks back up tomorrow, and 42 00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:48.800 it looks like it's going to be Molly McCarty from Jefferson, 43 00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:54.120 Frank Zamora from Johnson Gainesville, and Troy Connolly also looking 44 00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:56.639 to join us from Cobb County, and that's going to 45 00:02:56.719 --> 00:03:01.560 be coaches one, two, and three tomorrow. Coach McKinnon from 46 00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:06.520 Atkinson County's gonna join us on Wednesday, and that's kind 47 00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:08.280 of how this will go at least in the in session. 48 00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:10.360 No in session today, So we have opened up the 49 00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:13.199 gates a little bit in our number two. Westminster and 50 00:03:13.199 --> 00:03:14.919 Marrister going to join us and we'll catch up with 51 00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:17.120 them and find out what's going on. But once again, 52 00:03:17.159 --> 00:03:18.960 remember whatever's on your mind as we go here on 53 00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:23.400 a reaction Monday, and we'll lay out everything stats, all 54 00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:26.960 the numbers, all that kind of stuff involving Atlanta and 55 00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:30.439 Chicago Fire. But once again, the idea of three matches 56 00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:34.039 in eight days, that's what you can look at here. 57 00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:35.919 You have a good week, you get you get into 58 00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:38.240 the playoff picture and then you go from there. But 59 00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:41.520 you're talking about teams with three different styles in Chicago 60 00:03:41.719 --> 00:03:44.800 in a rebuild in Austin, trying to find an offense, 61 00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:46.520 and we know what Philly brings to the table. That's 62 00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:49.879 on Saturday night, So that's where we are this week. 63 00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:54.639 We're going to be kind of slamming in the Atlanta United. 64 00:03:54.919 --> 00:03:59.240 Three matches in a week, plus the GHSA Championships, plus 65 00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:02.280 our pundits, so it's going to be a week that's 66 00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:03.800 going to fly by, and we've got a lot of 67 00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:07.639 stuff to get into. Tomorrow probably is when we will 68 00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:11.039 get into what happened with an owner who's not supposed 69 00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:14.240 to be an owner storming out onto the field and 70 00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:18.759 catching his coach and that almost was opening kickoff, But 71 00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:23.079 it's entirely too much to think about, and there's plenty 72 00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:26.279 to talk about where that's concerned Nottingham Forest, if you 73 00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:31.519 missed it, their owner who isn't an owner, who had 74 00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:34.759 to put the team in a blind trust so they 75 00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:40.000 would not fall victim to the rules of European Monetary 76 00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:43.240 football engagement. After the match, he stormed the field and 77 00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:45.839 he wanted to, I guess talk to the physio for 78 00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:49.079 Nottingham Forest and he got headed off by head coach 79 00:04:49.160 --> 00:04:53.519 Nuno Spirito Santo and still Evangelinas Marinacas, decided that he 80 00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:56.800 wanted to have a conversation and dressed down anybody that 81 00:04:56.839 --> 00:05:00.399 he could stand next to in a public forum, even 82 00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:02.560 as his team had qualified for Europe. We'll get into 83 00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:05.000 that tomorrow because then we'll have the space to get 84 00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:07.079 into it with some of the analysis that was instant 85 00:05:07.120 --> 00:05:11.560 from our friends at NBC Sports and the Premier League. 86 00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:13.639 So yeah, this week we're drifting in and out of 87 00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:17.399 Atlanta United, We're drifting in and out of the GHSA Championships. 88 00:05:17.879 --> 00:05:22.279 And because here's here's the grid, Here's here's here's the 89 00:05:22.319 --> 00:05:26.759 grid at the moment, by the way, So in session Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, 90 00:05:26.759 --> 00:05:29.279 it's our last four Soccers in sessions of the year, 91 00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:32.319 presented by Kaiser Permanente. Because the championships go this week, 92 00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:38.480 time slots that we have available, hopefully we can bring 93 00:05:38.480 --> 00:05:41.199 in high school coaches to catch up with the championships 94 00:05:41.519 --> 00:05:43.639 and literally just fly around and sit there and go 95 00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:46.759 in out, in out, in out and out. So that's 96 00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:48.959 kind of what we're hoping for this week as we 97 00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:51.560 fly around like you wouldn't believe, trying to catch up 98 00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:54.439 with everything. Yes, I'm waiting to see, man's properly got 99 00:05:54.480 --> 00:05:57.399 to be properly hydrated. He has to be properly hydrated. 100 00:05:57.399 --> 00:06:00.959 That's how this works, making sure that well. And I'm 101 00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:02.839 gonna go ahead and bring Abe in a little early here, 102 00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:04.920 because you know, Abe was once again he's on the 103 00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:08.680 Tom Kaflin scale. Five minutes earlier on time, you're on time, 104 00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:11.800 you're late, you're late, doors closed, doors locked, you ain't 105 00:06:11.800 --> 00:06:16.079 getting in, so you don't have to hide being hydrated 106 00:06:16.439 --> 00:06:18.240 in this segment, right. 107 00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:21.000 No, I I I you know, I woke up not 108 00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:23.399 too long ago. I don't. I hadn't had anything to drink, 109 00:06:23.480 --> 00:06:26.360 took a dog out, and uh uh yeah, we're just 110 00:06:26.439 --> 00:06:27.240 getting going. Man. 111 00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:27.680 It's uh. 112 00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:30.279 You know what's funny is, as you mentioned, I'm like 113 00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:33.560 five minutes early, I don't actually like I'm I'm always 114 00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:35.399 at the same time now. And I don't remember what 115 00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:37.480 time I was supposed to be original. I think it 116 00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:40.680 was originally like nine to twenty, and then I started 117 00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:42.480 showing up early and that now I'm just here at 118 00:06:42.519 --> 00:06:43.360 nine to ten every day. 119 00:06:43.439 --> 00:06:45.959 So here we go. That's perfectly fine. I mean, it's 120 00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:47.480 it's it gives me a chance to get through the 121 00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:49.920 opening monologue. And get everything squared away for the week 122 00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:53.279 and get opening kicked off up and running as we 123 00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:55.680 juggle both high school and a three match week for 124 00:06:55.720 --> 00:07:00.600 Atlanta United, And uh, you know, obviously and after you 125 00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:04.439 I have postgame sound from both Ronald Hernandez and I'm 126 00:07:04.439 --> 00:07:08.279 not bleeping it, so I'm running it as is and 127 00:07:08.279 --> 00:07:10.519 that because I don't want to do bleeping and editing 128 00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:12.480 and things like that. And then the Ronnie Dila sound 129 00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:16.079 obviously that you and Maddy got the chance to listen 130 00:07:16.120 --> 00:07:20.519 to after the match with Chicago. But you know, once again, 131 00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:23.040 it was one of those where at the end of 132 00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:26.319 ninety minutes it wasn't good enough. There were waves, there 133 00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:29.399 were moments, but it didn't take over the full ninety 134 00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:34.079 and you end up getting the own goal. However, look 135 00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:36.120 right now, get a goal on the board, feel better, 136 00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:39.399 and then you can push and pursue and then coming 137 00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:42.639 back on defense and backtracking, and then Chicago has an 138 00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:45.439 opportunity and it ends up open in between the six 139 00:07:45.480 --> 00:07:47.399 and the penalty spot for a slam dunky. You lose 140 00:07:47.399 --> 00:07:48.920 two to one. Now that you've had a day and 141 00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:50.480 a half to think about it, what else is stuck 142 00:07:50.480 --> 00:07:50.959 in your head? 143 00:07:51.879 --> 00:07:55.920 Yeah, What really stood out to me, I think, is 144 00:07:56.000 --> 00:07:59.920 the message that Ronnie Dila wanted to deliver and then 145 00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:04.920 ultimately couldn't because of the eighty six minute go ahead 146 00:08:04.959 --> 00:08:11.399 goal for for Chicago. Look, you fall behind here fifteen 147 00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:14.759 minutes into this game, a tough penalty kick, but had 148 00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:18.240 to be called. There's no way around that. And and 149 00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:21.800 you fight and you scratch and you claw, and ultimately 150 00:08:21.800 --> 00:08:24.680 you're not very dangerous, but but you stay in the 151 00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:27.839 game and then in a moment, you put the ball 152 00:08:27.920 --> 00:08:31.839 in a dangerous position. And look, I don't want to 153 00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:34.159 I don't want to hear about the own goal nonsense, 154 00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:36.759 Like it's not like guys are turning around and firing 155 00:08:36.759 --> 00:08:38.720 it at their own keeper. Like you're putting the ball 156 00:08:38.759 --> 00:08:42.120 into dangerous positions. I don't really care if it goes 157 00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:44.759 off of your guy's shoulder, off of a head, off 158 00:08:44.799 --> 00:08:46.399 of a hip, or off of one of their guys. 159 00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:50.519 Those it finds him back of the day. So put 160 00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:54.480 the ball in good things could happen. And it felt 161 00:08:54.559 --> 00:08:57.840 like for well, I guess for five minutes, because that's 162 00:08:57.879 --> 00:09:02.039 all it was. It felt like for five minutes, maybe 163 00:09:02.080 --> 00:09:04.639 things had flipped a little bit where you could say 164 00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:07.200 this is a team that doesn't give up, This is 165 00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:09.600 a team that continues to fight, This is a team 166 00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:13.919 that finds a way all that stuff. And ultimately, because 167 00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:17.240 you did not outplay Chicago in this one, ultimately you 168 00:09:17.279 --> 00:09:19.320 maybe could have said that this was a result that 169 00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:24.200 we maybe didn't even necessarily deserve and can use that 170 00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:28.240 as a chance to step forward. But that was a 171 00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:31.279 five minute stretch in which you thought that way, and 172 00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:34.159 then it all went away. And it took a while 173 00:09:34.360 --> 00:09:38.720 for Ronnie Dila to enter the postgame press conference room. 174 00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:41.440 I would imagine there were some words being said in 175 00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:44.039 the locker room, and then when he got there, he 176 00:09:44.159 --> 00:09:48.440 called his team soft three times. Go back and listen 177 00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:50.759 to it. He called the team soft three times, and 178 00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:55.360 that's pretty much all you need to know. I think 179 00:09:55.399 --> 00:09:59.679 he had a message he wanted to deliver when they equalize, 180 00:09:59.799 --> 00:10:04.159 and and ultimately couldn't deliver that message to the media 181 00:10:04.360 --> 00:10:07.559 or really just to Jason h who was the media 182 00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:13.480 on Saturday night. And it's frustrating, and there's a lot 183 00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:17.559 of things that go into it. Late Loth was largely 184 00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:21.399 invisible in this game. We keep asking whatever we want 185 00:10:21.399 --> 00:10:24.679 to ask of Milgal Almaron He's nowhere close to goodenough 186 00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:29.559 right now. He's just not dangerous. Saba didn't start, and 187 00:10:29.639 --> 00:10:32.480 obviously he comes on late and does what he can. 188 00:10:34.039 --> 00:10:35.919 I thought they were better all the way from the 189 00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:39.799 back line up until the attacking third. But again, your 190 00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:43.159 your XG, which I know I'm not the biggest fan 191 00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:45.399 of it, but I use it in this instance to 192 00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:49.000 point it out. You're just not dangerous, like at all. 193 00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:53.399 Chicago had a two point seven I want to say 194 00:10:53.600 --> 00:10:56.399 x G and you you go back and look at 195 00:10:56.440 --> 00:10:59.600 that game and look at the saves. Right, obviously a 196 00:10:59.600 --> 00:11:02.879 ball cup through a wall which is just sloppy, but 197 00:11:02.960 --> 00:11:06.720 Gooz has to make a massive, massive save there. There 198 00:11:06.840 --> 00:11:08.919 there were other moments Gooz almost got beat at the 199 00:11:08.960 --> 00:11:10.840 near posts. He had to go down low and and 200 00:11:10.879 --> 00:11:13.679 poke it away for a corner kick, almost a goal there. 201 00:11:14.519 --> 00:11:18.639 The Chicago looked dangerous right now. Ultimately was only the 202 00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:21.120 two goals, but they looked dangerous at times where you 203 00:11:21.200 --> 00:11:24.320 kept him out of net. Atlanta didn't look dangerous. And 204 00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:28.200 that's what's the most frustrating thing for me is I 205 00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:30.600 just don't know how to make the argument for goals 206 00:11:30.600 --> 00:11:34.360 are gonna come because there's just nothing there. There there's 207 00:11:34.440 --> 00:11:38.519 no knocking on the door. I guess you can send 208 00:11:38.519 --> 00:11:40.639 it in like Moranchuck did and hope for the best. 209 00:11:40.679 --> 00:11:44.480 And obviously it worked out. But Latte Lot is not 210 00:11:44.480 --> 00:11:47.559 getting serviced there. There's still obviously a massive disconnect there. 211 00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:51.480 And and quite frankly, Miggy is completely lost. I don't 212 00:11:51.480 --> 00:11:55.120 know if it's stress or the pressure returning to this 213 00:11:55.240 --> 00:11:59.039 club and trying to be that guy. He is nowhere 214 00:11:59.120 --> 00:12:02.279 near the player that Lady United paid for or expected. 215 00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:06.759 The numbers that you were alluding to, the XG was 216 00:12:06.799 --> 00:12:09.840 double two six, two to one, three one four big 217 00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:13.799 chances for Chicago, none for it Landy United, eighteen total 218 00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:16.840 shots for Chicago, thirteen for it Land United. You mentioned 219 00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:20.039 Brad Brad had six saves on the day to your 220 00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:24.679 point about pressure, nine corners for Chicago only one for 221 00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:25.399 it Landy United. 222 00:12:25.519 --> 00:12:27.639 Now one corner was like in the eighty eighth minute 223 00:12:27.720 --> 00:12:29.519 or something like. It was super late. 224 00:12:29.360 --> 00:12:33.039 Too, And you know, you you look at a couple 225 00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:36.279 of other things. You know, Atlanta United had more free kicks, 226 00:12:36.320 --> 00:12:39.080 had a couple more tackles, They had one more yellow 227 00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:42.679 card on the day. So you all of these things 228 00:12:42.720 --> 00:12:46.000 coming together in a lineup that was a back five, 229 00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:51.799 and it starts out as Ronald Luis, Derek, Matt Edwards, 230 00:12:51.799 --> 00:12:54.279 Brooks Lennon and if you want to go five to 231 00:12:54.320 --> 00:12:55.960 four to one just for the sake of you know, 232 00:12:56.120 --> 00:12:59.879 pictures and drawings, but an't you j Fortune Matteas click 233 00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:04.200 Miguel almeroon and then Latte Lot up top when Brad 234 00:13:04.440 --> 00:13:07.679 by far has your largest grade from sofa score to 235 00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:09.840 seven point nine because of the six saves that he 236 00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:13.320 had on the day. Derek had a seven to Midanchuk 237 00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:16.799 and Latte Lot had sevens everybody else had sixes. I 238 00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:22.480 mean it's, you know, pretty one sided, and I don't 239 00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:24.919 know how else to say it. In this particular case, 240 00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:28.639 it was one sided and you had a chance, and 241 00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:31.440 then you end up giving up the goal five minutes 242 00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:34.480 five six minutes after you get the equalizer. Where I 243 00:13:34.519 --> 00:13:38.720 think conventional wisdom is that you get that equalizer, okay, 244 00:13:38.759 --> 00:13:40.679 go ahead and chase after the second one. You got 245 00:13:40.679 --> 00:13:42.799 the first one, good, You've got to draw, and now 246 00:13:42.840 --> 00:13:45.480 go chase after more points on the road, and it 247 00:13:45.559 --> 00:13:49.120 turns into a transition opportunity where you don't get back 248 00:13:49.519 --> 00:13:52.000 and Ronnie Ronnie Dila the head coach alludes to that 249 00:13:52.039 --> 00:13:54.200 in the postgame press conference. I didn't allude to it. 250 00:13:54.200 --> 00:13:56.200 He just pretty much laid it out there. You got 251 00:13:56.200 --> 00:13:58.480 to get back in these situations, and you don't for 252 00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:01.279 whatever reason. Right now, this is where it Landy United is. 253 00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:04.840 Yeah, I mean maybe that's their mindset, like the way 254 00:14:04.879 --> 00:14:07.039 this season is gone. In no world am I like, 255 00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:09.799 all right, let's go find a second, like you got 256 00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:13.639 so incredibly lucky to find a first, Like I was 257 00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:16.720 sitting there like ride this out, like take your point. 258 00:14:16.840 --> 00:14:19.360 You certainly didn't deserve it. If we're gonna be honest 259 00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:23.200 and and and see if you can regroup and and 260 00:14:23.320 --> 00:14:28.759 do better on Wednesday with a short week. So yeah, 261 00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:31.879 that was wouldn't have been my mindset here, John, because 262 00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:34.600 I thought at that point, the way you had been outplayed, 263 00:14:34.639 --> 00:14:36.159 the way they had held the lead for as long 264 00:14:36.200 --> 00:14:38.159 as they did and as many times as they knocked 265 00:14:38.159 --> 00:14:41.039 on the door to find a second, I thought you 266 00:14:41.080 --> 00:14:43.440 were lucky to be in a tie situation there for 267 00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:49.679 five minutes. So again, the team and the manager, they 268 00:14:49.679 --> 00:14:52.840 obviously can't concede that. You know, we're we're just gonna 269 00:14:53.000 --> 00:14:55.879 hold down one point, especially not the way the season 270 00:14:55.879 --> 00:14:59.039 has gone right, you're a little desperate, and maybe that 271 00:14:59.159 --> 00:15:03.879 leads into that decision or that feeling. But I would 272 00:15:03.879 --> 00:15:06.759 have been happy with the one, and ultimately that didn't happen, 273 00:15:06.799 --> 00:15:09.799 and now we're stuck where we continue the same discussion 274 00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:13.080 points of did the formation work? Why are you out 275 00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:18.279 played for so long? Who's your best starting eleven? You know, why? 276 00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:22.480 Why can't this happen? Why can't that happen? Whose fault 277 00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:24.639 is it? What are the things that And they just 278 00:15:24.759 --> 00:15:27.759 keep saying the same thing. We need to come together, 279 00:15:27.840 --> 00:15:29.600 we need to fight for each other, we need to 280 00:15:29.639 --> 00:15:34.480 see love for the game, all that stuff. But ultimately, 281 00:15:34.519 --> 00:15:36.639 at the end of the day, like individuals are just 282 00:15:36.720 --> 00:15:39.360 not dangerous and that's a problem for me well. 283 00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:41.679 But at the same time, though, I would much rather 284 00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:45.799 hear a unity of message instead of sitting there and 285 00:15:45.840 --> 00:15:49.120 having you know, players flying off the handle and not 286 00:15:49.279 --> 00:15:52.480 being locked into you know, what you're supposed to be 287 00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:55.840 doing in this situation. You know, you don't want negative freelancing. 288 00:15:56.159 --> 00:15:57.720 I'd like to see it. I'd like to see a 289 00:15:57.720 --> 00:15:59.879 showcase on the field at some point though, as a 290 00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:03.799 supposed to just delivery through the media. And I agree 291 00:16:03.840 --> 00:16:05.679 with you right. You you want, you know, the one 292 00:16:05.799 --> 00:16:08.919 unified front, right, you want to be chasing it from 293 00:16:09.000 --> 00:16:13.320 the same direction. But look, maybe the thing that this 294 00:16:13.399 --> 00:16:16.080 team needs is a big old shouting match in the 295 00:16:16.120 --> 00:16:20.480 locker room. Maybe this is a situation where they got 296 00:16:20.519 --> 00:16:22.720 to figure some stuff out, and it's not gonna be 297 00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:25.919 a fun way to do it, because I mean, what 298 00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:31.080 are they second from the bottom right now? And it's 299 00:16:31.519 --> 00:16:33.720 I mean, you're down there with Montreal, like that's one 300 00:16:33.759 --> 00:16:37.120 of your only wins this season. So I don't really 301 00:16:37.120 --> 00:16:40.039 have an answer, Like I wish we could take a 302 00:16:40.039 --> 00:16:43.279 look at tactics and try and break it down. And 303 00:16:43.360 --> 00:16:48.240 I know Maddie was talking about tactics on the countdown beforehand, 304 00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:50.399 and I was like, look, I get it, like the 305 00:16:50.440 --> 00:16:52.720 tactics or something. You got to figure out the formation. 306 00:16:52.840 --> 00:16:55.440 You got to figure out at the end of the day, though, 307 00:16:55.679 --> 00:16:58.440 like someone's got to step up and make a play. 308 00:16:58.559 --> 00:17:02.840 Someone's got to be an individual and make a difference 309 00:17:02.879 --> 00:17:05.079 out there. And I remember early on in the season, 310 00:17:05.119 --> 00:17:06.640 it may have been in the first game, it may 311 00:17:06.680 --> 00:17:09.000 have been in a second or third game. Like I 312 00:17:09.039 --> 00:17:11.880 saw Meggie and he put a tricky dribble on someone 313 00:17:11.960 --> 00:17:14.799 and and made, you know, created some space and you're like, 314 00:17:14.799 --> 00:17:17.400 all right, that looks like the guy we want to see. 315 00:17:17.440 --> 00:17:21.200 I haven't seen that from him in two months or 316 00:17:21.279 --> 00:17:25.359 however long. It's been eight games, seven games. And again 317 00:17:25.440 --> 00:17:27.960 he's not alone. Right. We tried moving Saba on the right, 318 00:17:28.039 --> 00:17:30.920 try and make him more dangerous. It It worked for 319 00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:33.039 two games and then that completely fell off to the 320 00:17:33.079 --> 00:17:35.519 point where he wasn't even in the starting eleven this 321 00:17:36.240 --> 00:17:39.480 past week. And then again a lot of is a 322 00:17:39.519 --> 00:17:42.640 little bit different. He had one. They need to find 323 00:17:42.640 --> 00:17:44.200 a way to get him the ball higher up the field. 324 00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:48.319 He's having to drop so far back, he's got fifty 325 00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:51.599 yards to go just to get into a dangerous position, 326 00:17:52.839 --> 00:17:55.000 and he's kind of just based on the amount of 327 00:17:55.079 --> 00:17:57.079 service or quality he's going to get from the other 328 00:17:57.240 --> 00:18:02.079 So he's in a slightly different position. But you're not 329 00:18:02.119 --> 00:18:05.200 gonna teamwork your way into a goal. You're not gonna 330 00:18:05.599 --> 00:18:08.000 tick you tack of fifteen to one touch passes with 331 00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:10.240 a tap in at the back post like that. That's 332 00:18:10.279 --> 00:18:13.759 not happening. So someone's got to find some individual efforts 333 00:18:13.799 --> 00:18:17.000 to create some space to create a shot and make 334 00:18:17.039 --> 00:18:19.240 a difference. And we haven't seen that for weeks. 335 00:18:19.000 --> 00:18:22.920 Now well, and now you are in and out of 336 00:18:23.039 --> 00:18:26.279 necessity since you have three matches in a week. And 337 00:18:26.319 --> 00:18:27.880 it was a point that I made before you came 338 00:18:27.920 --> 00:18:30.920 on where you're having you're dealing with three separate clubs 339 00:18:30.960 --> 00:18:36.960 with three separate approaches that with Atlanta United you this 340 00:18:37.079 --> 00:18:40.680 may end up being auditions to a certain degree because 341 00:18:40.839 --> 00:18:43.240 of out of necessity. I don't think you're gonna play 342 00:18:43.240 --> 00:18:45.160 a lot of folks two hundred and seventy minutes in 343 00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:48.319 eight days. So you're going to see in theory some 344 00:18:48.440 --> 00:18:51.400 different folks in different places, in different positions. Some folks 345 00:18:51.480 --> 00:18:53.880 may be, you know, starting two of three, coming in 346 00:18:53.880 --> 00:18:56.039 off the bench for a third. You might see some 347 00:18:56.200 --> 00:19:00.559 interesting uh starting elevens starting in the midweeknd in Austin 348 00:19:00.599 --> 00:19:03.960 and then turning around against a very very physical Philadelphia 349 00:19:03.960 --> 00:19:07.240 squad that comes in on the weekend. So this may 350 00:19:07.400 --> 00:19:11.319 end up being something akin to Ronnie Dila and the 351 00:19:11.319 --> 00:19:13.599 staff having you know, for lack of a better phrase, 352 00:19:13.640 --> 00:19:17.119 open auditions. It's like, okay, we have this week. We 353 00:19:17.119 --> 00:19:20.039 saw what happened with Chicago. Next step is Austin. We 354 00:19:20.119 --> 00:19:22.000 got to figure out who can give me X number 355 00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:24.720 of minutes where can I put them or wait until 356 00:19:24.839 --> 00:19:27.119 I need those minutes in Philly. I think this might 357 00:19:27.160 --> 00:19:29.440 be this will be a very interesting week to see 358 00:19:29.440 --> 00:19:32.480 how things progress heading toward Philadelphia. 359 00:19:32.680 --> 00:19:36.119 Yeah, and look, you saw moye on Buckam off the bench, right, 360 00:19:36.160 --> 00:19:38.279 and I know he had been recovering from the injury 361 00:19:38.319 --> 00:19:41.240 and working his fitness back, So that was the thought. 362 00:19:41.279 --> 00:19:45.200 And same thought with Saba was maybe he was off 363 00:19:45.200 --> 00:19:47.240 the bench because you plan on starting him in one 364 00:19:47.240 --> 00:19:49.279 of these next two and you're trying to arrest him 365 00:19:49.319 --> 00:19:51.640 and like you said, you're not gonna go all three, 366 00:19:51.720 --> 00:19:56.440 and that's all fine. You got some guys though, on 367 00:19:56.960 --> 00:20:00.480 that roster that are different guys than what you've been 368 00:20:00.480 --> 00:20:03.400 putting out there, and I think it's time you see 369 00:20:03.400 --> 00:20:09.559 some of them Togashi and Brennan and Riley and Cobb 370 00:20:09.720 --> 00:20:14.160 and some of these other youngsters. We've seen the veterans 371 00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:18.480 who have been mainstays here. It's not working. I'm not 372 00:20:18.519 --> 00:20:21.640 saying you go full sale changes here or or that 373 00:20:21.720 --> 00:20:23.759 it's permanent, but I think we need to see some 374 00:20:23.799 --> 00:20:26.880 of these younger guys and some of these matches coming up, 375 00:20:27.359 --> 00:20:31.559 you got to try something different. And again, I don't 376 00:20:31.559 --> 00:20:34.519 care who's getting paid what. I don't care what designation 377 00:20:34.720 --> 00:20:38.599 anyone has. Someone's got to produce. And if the guys 378 00:20:38.599 --> 00:20:41.920 that are are labeled as such aren't producing, then I'll 379 00:20:41.920 --> 00:20:44.960 try guys that that you maybe don't count on the produce. 380 00:20:45.720 --> 00:20:47.680 I thought Jay Fortune has been great. I thought Matt 381 00:20:47.799 --> 00:20:52.160 Edwards has been great. These are guys that are stepping up. 382 00:20:52.279 --> 00:20:54.160 I thought Noah Cobb was good in the match. He 383 00:20:54.200 --> 00:20:56.880 did play a week and a half ago, whatever it was, 384 00:20:57.000 --> 00:21:01.920 So you got to try something different. You've modified the 385 00:21:01.960 --> 00:21:04.400 formation a little bit now and back to back weeks. 386 00:21:04.759 --> 00:21:07.599 One week it gave you thirty minutes of improved play. 387 00:21:09.400 --> 00:21:11.200 It didn't do anything for you. The five in the 388 00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:13.839 back didn't do anything for you on on Saturday. And 389 00:21:13.920 --> 00:21:17.160 a lot of that maybe is determined by the handball 390 00:21:17.240 --> 00:21:19.000 and and kind of a free goal if you want 391 00:21:19.000 --> 00:21:23.000 to call it that. But you got you gotta start 392 00:21:23.000 --> 00:21:26.359 looking maybe a little bit more drastically, uh if need be, 393 00:21:26.359 --> 00:21:30.240 because it's it's getting We're not halfway yet through this season, 394 00:21:30.279 --> 00:21:34.640 but we're not that far from halfway, and and you 395 00:21:34.880 --> 00:21:37.240 barely are touching double digit points. 396 00:21:37.640 --> 00:21:39.559 Hey Gordon ninety two nine of the game, visiting as 397 00:21:39.559 --> 00:21:42.759 he always does here to start things off. So are 398 00:21:42.839 --> 00:21:47.599 you of the mindset with these three matches? You saw 399 00:21:47.640 --> 00:21:51.119 what you saw against Chicago, You're going on the road 400 00:21:51.160 --> 00:21:54.279 to Austin. Do you do you try and front load 401 00:21:54.359 --> 00:21:58.640 things with ideas or do you want to try and 402 00:21:58.759 --> 00:22:02.000 bring in those new names you're thinking of against Austin 403 00:22:02.440 --> 00:22:04.839 and see what happens against Philly or do you want 404 00:22:04.839 --> 00:22:06.960 to experience against Philly? How are you in your mind? 405 00:22:07.039 --> 00:22:09.119 How are you seeing how you would lay things up? 406 00:22:09.240 --> 00:22:11.559 Yeah, I don't think you could do anything with Philly 407 00:22:11.640 --> 00:22:13.640 right now. You got to find a way to get 408 00:22:13.640 --> 00:22:16.279 three points, and all attention has to be paid on Austin. 409 00:22:16.640 --> 00:22:20.880 And I'm not I'm not saying anything about we're gonna 410 00:22:20.880 --> 00:22:23.000 plan for this and then we're gonna plan for that. 411 00:22:23.079 --> 00:22:27.559 There is no secondary looking ahead to to I know, 412 00:22:27.599 --> 00:22:30.359 it's like the oldest you know, like coach speak, like 413 00:22:30.559 --> 00:22:32.960 you know, one game at a time, all that stuff, 414 00:22:32.960 --> 00:22:36.160 But like as far back as you are in the standings, 415 00:22:36.200 --> 00:22:39.279 like you have to maximize everything you can to get 416 00:22:39.279 --> 00:22:42.720 three points on the road and then you can worry 417 00:22:42.720 --> 00:22:45.920 about the home games coming up against Philly and beyond 418 00:22:46.000 --> 00:22:49.640 after that, I would I would see what works at Austin. 419 00:22:49.720 --> 00:22:52.440 Hopefully you can find some level of success and then 420 00:22:52.759 --> 00:22:55.880 try and recreate that at home against a tougher Philly team. 421 00:22:55.920 --> 00:22:59.000 But I don't know if you can plan right now 422 00:22:59.119 --> 00:23:01.400 for for what's coming on the weekend. When you have 423 00:23:01.440 --> 00:23:04.160 the midweek match and you're in the form that you're in. 424 00:23:05.240 --> 00:23:08.039 Some teams have that luxury, right you can kind of 425 00:23:08.039 --> 00:23:10.119 look and say, if we can just play to a 426 00:23:10.240 --> 00:23:12.480 drawl on the road midweek and then we can focus. 427 00:23:12.799 --> 00:23:15.680 Atlanta's not in that position where they can kind of 428 00:23:16.160 --> 00:23:18.839 half hand a game over and and focus on one 429 00:23:18.920 --> 00:23:22.559 or the other. So they've got to go full on 430 00:23:23.039 --> 00:23:27.000 for three points Wednesday, and well, I'm interested to see 431 00:23:27.000 --> 00:23:28.839 how dramatic a change that could be. 432 00:23:29.200 --> 00:23:32.559 Yep, and I think it's you and me partner. It is, Yes, 433 00:23:32.839 --> 00:23:35.720 you and me partner at Colony Square. So we're gonna 434 00:23:35.720 --> 00:23:38.359 be sitting there watching everything at Q two. So hit 435 00:23:38.400 --> 00:23:41.119 the promo for some guy named Nelson joining you inside 436 00:23:41.119 --> 00:23:41.839 Colony Square. 437 00:23:42.279 --> 00:23:45.200 Yeah, yeah, you and me, we're gonna do a fun 438 00:23:45.240 --> 00:23:49.759 little pregame. Hopefully it's fun because the way the way 439 00:23:49.799 --> 00:23:52.119 the season's gone, the post games have not been fun, 440 00:23:52.880 --> 00:23:56.400 so so we'll know we'll break it down, and it 441 00:23:56.480 --> 00:23:59.000 was very interesting with Maddie to see some of the 442 00:23:59.119 --> 00:24:02.799 changes the form and trying something new, and so I'm 443 00:24:02.799 --> 00:24:05.279 interested to see what they try in this one because 444 00:24:06.319 --> 00:24:09.200 there the more this level of performance goes on, the 445 00:24:09.279 --> 00:24:11.799 more drastic I think the changes have to be. And 446 00:24:12.160 --> 00:24:14.920 I know they kind of say you can't change everything 447 00:24:14.960 --> 00:24:17.599 all at once, but you are starting to move that 448 00:24:17.680 --> 00:24:21.079 way if you continually fall short. So it'd be interesting 449 00:24:21.119 --> 00:24:23.359 to see what the formation looks like, who they have 450 00:24:23.559 --> 00:24:26.599 and then, as you mentioned with the match compression, who's 451 00:24:26.640 --> 00:24:30.880 gonna play? Because some interesting decisions there for Ronnie Dayla. 452 00:24:30.960 --> 00:24:36.079 But pregame should start at what is it? Six thirty? 453 00:24:37.319 --> 00:24:37.400 No? 454 00:24:37.559 --> 00:24:41.200 Seven thirty seven thirty right seven? Pregame at seven thirty 455 00:24:41.960 --> 00:24:45.480 with kickoff there at Austin around eight thirty, So looking forward. 456 00:24:45.279 --> 00:24:47.599 To that as always, my friend, great to see. Thanks 457 00:24:47.599 --> 00:24:51.440 for the recaps, and go go cleanse and tune everything 458 00:24:51.480 --> 00:24:53.759 out for a couple of minutes before everything starts back 459 00:24:53.839 --> 00:24:55.359 up again. As always, great to see my friend to 460 00:24:55.400 --> 00:24:56.799 start things off every week. 461 00:24:56.680 --> 00:24:58.839 We'll do and we'll see you again on Wednesday. 462 00:24:58.480 --> 00:25:00.000 All right? Abe Gordon ninety two nine and the Game 463 00:25:00.599 --> 00:25:03.160 and the Oudyssey app Yeah, so it's me. I guess 464 00:25:03.160 --> 00:25:05.039 I should have hit the breaking news soundar. It's me 465 00:25:05.240 --> 00:25:10.039 and Abe, Me and A A colony square on Wednesday night. 466 00:25:10.680 --> 00:25:16.200 So here's and here's the here's the rundown. So with 467 00:25:16.440 --> 00:25:20.000 the the match in with all the morning show stuff, 468 00:25:20.039 --> 00:25:23.640 morning show doesn't change. So then you have me and 469 00:25:23.759 --> 00:25:30.400 ab a colony square for a Central time kick in Austin. 470 00:25:30.720 --> 00:25:34.799 And apparently, and I got to check this again real quick, 471 00:25:35.079 --> 00:25:39.680 so hang on weather dot com. Uh no, that is 472 00:25:39.720 --> 00:25:43.359 not what I spelled. So of course everybody's sitting there going, yeah, 473 00:25:43.519 --> 00:25:49.640 why don't you Uh all right, so temperatures in Austin, Texas, 474 00:25:52.359 --> 00:25:55.440 they are not going to be small like I said, 475 00:25:55.440 --> 00:25:59.000 it's uh, you've got all kinds of things going on, 476 00:26:00.079 --> 00:26:07.079 uh meteorologically. So the team is flying out, I don't 477 00:26:07.160 --> 00:26:09.559 I don't know if they're flying out tomorrow. I'll double check, 478 00:26:09.640 --> 00:26:13.119 but uh, you know, for the for a Wednesday match. 479 00:26:14.000 --> 00:26:20.839 So the uh, the high Wednesday, the high Wednesday in 480 00:26:20.960 --> 00:26:26.559 Austin is slated for one hundred and six. I'm not kidding. 481 00:26:27.599 --> 00:26:30.359 And just to show you that I'm not kidding, I'm 482 00:26:30.400 --> 00:26:33.039 gonna do the thing with the screen share, just to 483 00:26:33.200 --> 00:26:35.759 just to let you know, just to see. No, I 484 00:26:35.759 --> 00:26:37.480 don't want that one. It's not that one, it's the 485 00:26:37.519 --> 00:26:41.279 other one. So here we go. So here's here is 486 00:26:42.319 --> 00:26:46.759 the uh, here's your forecast right there. You see you 487 00:26:46.799 --> 00:26:54.160 see Wednesday, Wednesday, one hundred and six, one hundred and 488 00:26:54.359 --> 00:26:59.000 six partly cloudy though, and you'll we will have weinds 489 00:26:59.000 --> 00:27:02.079 out of the south southwest to twelve but one hundred 490 00:27:02.160 --> 00:27:05.160 and six degrees get rid of that pop up there. 491 00:27:05.920 --> 00:27:12.119 So one hundred and six on Wednesday in Austin, So 492 00:27:12.200 --> 00:27:16.640 you got that to keep an eye on as well. 493 00:27:16.720 --> 00:27:22.440 One hundred and six blanken degrees on Wednesday. And that 494 00:27:22.680 --> 00:27:27.160 was why I was asking about how different the lineup 495 00:27:27.240 --> 00:27:30.400 is going to be, just in general, in general because 496 00:27:30.440 --> 00:27:35.720 of you playing three matches in eight days Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday. 497 00:27:35.720 --> 00:27:38.440 So it's three and eight. What does it look like? 498 00:27:38.799 --> 00:27:41.599 What does it look like in Austin? And you're going 499 00:27:41.680 --> 00:27:45.359 to have to probably manage minutes, manage players, use your 500 00:27:45.400 --> 00:27:50.920 subs wisely, all things being equal, hoping that everyone stays 501 00:27:50.960 --> 00:27:53.519 as healthy as possible. You're gonna have your hydration breaks 502 00:27:53.559 --> 00:27:59.799 after thirty and at uh, what eighty seventy eight seventy 503 00:27:59.839 --> 00:28:03.480 five five minutes somewhere in there, seventy seventy five. So 504 00:28:03.920 --> 00:28:06.799 you got that to look out for as well. So 505 00:28:06.880 --> 00:28:09.319 you anticipate hydration breaks, You're going to have to have 506 00:28:09.400 --> 00:28:12.799 the your your substitutions ready to go manage all of 507 00:28:12.799 --> 00:28:16.519 those kinds of things. And you're going up against an 508 00:28:16.519 --> 00:28:20.559 Austin club that until Open Cup because once again it 509 00:28:20.640 --> 00:28:24.160 was El Paso locomotive. It's a you know, it is 510 00:28:24.200 --> 00:28:27.680 a team that is offensively challenged. Then there's no other 511 00:28:27.720 --> 00:28:30.400 way to put it. I mean, they actually did score 512 00:28:31.839 --> 00:28:37.440 in MLS play for the first time in three weeks 513 00:28:38.319 --> 00:28:42.960 in the two to one loss to Cincinnati, and you 514 00:28:43.039 --> 00:28:49.440 look at how it was for Cincinnati and for Austin. 515 00:28:49.559 --> 00:28:52.640 Austin plays in the three five two five three two, 516 00:28:52.640 --> 00:28:56.079 and yes, we are efforting OPO research on this. So 517 00:28:56.240 --> 00:29:01.279 with Brandon Vasquez Emirto Uzuni in being the two up top, 518 00:29:02.720 --> 00:29:05.079 you're thinking that it's probably going to end up being 519 00:29:05.279 --> 00:29:08.960 a back five. That would be my guess, unless you 520 00:29:09.000 --> 00:29:11.720 know you have you know, us Open Cup hero Brandon 521 00:29:11.799 --> 00:29:14.240 Vasquez playing by himself, a Zuni drops back and it's 522 00:29:14.240 --> 00:29:17.960 a five four one or or something like that from 523 00:29:18.000 --> 00:29:23.319 a Nico Estevez. But if it's two, then you're probably 524 00:29:23.319 --> 00:29:25.720 gonna have three center backs, so you're probably with a 525 00:29:25.759 --> 00:29:28.880 back five or something akin to a back five. If 526 00:29:28.960 --> 00:29:31.440 Ronnie goes Ronnie Dialley goes with the four two three 527 00:29:31.480 --> 00:29:34.720 to one, then you end up with one of those. 528 00:29:34.799 --> 00:29:37.279 Maybe you're six, being that de facto third center back. 529 00:29:37.319 --> 00:29:39.000 And like I said, this is me taking one of 530 00:29:39.039 --> 00:29:41.480 the first things I learned from Jason and applying it 531 00:29:41.480 --> 00:29:43.680 to a starting lineup. Always have one more in defense 532 00:29:43.720 --> 00:29:47.480 than they do an attack. So if Austin is gonna 533 00:29:47.519 --> 00:29:51.160 go with two with two up top Vasquez in a Zuni, 534 00:29:52.000 --> 00:29:56.839 then you're thinking three in defense. So who are those 535 00:29:56.839 --> 00:30:00.000 three in defense? And then you have to once again 536 00:30:00.640 --> 00:30:04.160 go from a team in Chicago that is on a 537 00:30:04.200 --> 00:30:08.079 rebuild to a team in Austin that can't score, to 538 00:30:08.480 --> 00:30:10.920 a team in Philly that doesn't want the ball and 539 00:30:11.519 --> 00:30:13.240 is going to try and out physically you out of 540 00:30:13.240 --> 00:30:18.079 the building. So navigating these three things also is a 541 00:30:18.119 --> 00:30:20.880 part of it too, so that that's kind of the 542 00:30:21.240 --> 00:30:25.960 early OPO research that you have here their starting lineup. 543 00:30:26.000 --> 00:30:27.839 Once again, it was you might have matching five, three, 544 00:30:27.880 --> 00:30:30.440 to two, three, five twos. They had five at the 545 00:30:30.480 --> 00:30:36.559 back Kolemanich, biro Heinzeich, Spatalk and John Gallaher midfield Savovich, 546 00:30:36.759 --> 00:30:40.240 Ilier and owen Wolf. And then to up top Vasquez 547 00:30:40.279 --> 00:30:46.960 and Uzuni with your bench Fudrig, Dubersarski, Jeter Obrion, Osman 548 00:30:47.039 --> 00:30:54.039 Buccari and Diego Rubio, Julio Casconte, Irvn Torres, Riley Thomas, 549 00:30:54.039 --> 00:30:57.079 and Stephan Cleveland. The backup keeper Brad Steuver obviously is 550 00:30:57.119 --> 00:31:00.119 going to be the man between the sticks. He is 551 00:31:00.160 --> 00:31:04.480 the one who had the highest rating for Austin in 552 00:31:04.519 --> 00:31:10.519 their matchup against Cincinnati. Five saves, goals prevented a point 553 00:31:10.519 --> 00:31:13.599 eighty four to two runouts, two high claims, four saves 554 00:31:14.160 --> 00:31:16.640 twenty four fifty three passing seven of twenty five on 555 00:31:16.680 --> 00:31:19.680 his long ball's two clearances, and that's it in a 556 00:31:19.720 --> 00:31:22.839 two to one loss. So that's what you're looking at with. 557 00:31:22.960 --> 00:31:26.200 Like I said, that's just like the basic basics of Austin. 558 00:31:26.279 --> 00:31:28.960 As we get into Austin on Wednesday, and then we'll 559 00:31:28.960 --> 00:31:30.480 turn the page and see if we can catch up 560 00:31:30.480 --> 00:31:33.400 with our buddy Dave Leno on either Thursday or Friday, 561 00:31:33.839 --> 00:31:35.839 to get you ready for Philly. But we got to 562 00:31:35.880 --> 00:31:37.799 get we got to get through, we got to get 563 00:31:37.839 --> 00:31:44.160 to Austin. First, I'm gonna play the sound from Ronald Hernandez. 564 00:31:46.279 --> 00:31:47.960 I'm gonna play the I'm gonna play the sound for 565 00:31:48.079 --> 00:31:52.440 Ronald Hernandez. It's most of his press conference opportunity. And 566 00:31:52.599 --> 00:31:57.400 no I did not bleep it out because he had 567 00:31:57.920 --> 00:32:05.160 uh he had two references that expressed the general displeasure. 568 00:32:06.680 --> 00:32:11.240 And I'm just double checking to make sure that the 569 00:32:11.319 --> 00:32:17.079 sound is what the sound is? Where is where is that? Okay? 570 00:32:17.200 --> 00:32:21.640 So here is once I once I actually load it 571 00:32:21.680 --> 00:32:24.079 because you know, you kind of need to load the 572 00:32:24.200 --> 00:32:27.559 sound so people can hear it. But that's just me. 573 00:32:27.680 --> 00:32:32.160 But yeah, Ronald Hernandez and Ronnie dialup before we get 574 00:32:32.160 --> 00:32:38.359 into getting ready for Austin. Over the next two days, 575 00:32:38.400 --> 00:32:41.319 like I said, I will probably play both of these 576 00:32:41.359 --> 00:32:47.079 two very very long segments. They total up to about 577 00:32:47.480 --> 00:32:49.559 eight and a half minutes, but like I said, it's 578 00:32:49.559 --> 00:32:54.839 worth it. I'm gonna start with Ronald Hernandez, and like 579 00:32:54.880 --> 00:32:57.599 I said, there are two moments in here that could 580 00:32:57.640 --> 00:33:00.279 have been bleeped. I didn't. So we're we're going to 581 00:33:00.319 --> 00:33:05.200 earn our explicit rating today. So here's Ronald Hernandez after 582 00:33:05.240 --> 00:33:07.160 the match. And then after Ronald, we'll get into the 583 00:33:07.200 --> 00:33:09.599 numbers and get into players and get into player ratings 584 00:33:09.640 --> 00:33:12.319 and things like that. And if we have time before 585 00:33:12.599 --> 00:33:15.640 Scott Snyder and Micah Aiken join us in our number 586 00:33:15.640 --> 00:33:18.160 two to talk to Westminster and Marist getting into the 587 00:33:18.240 --> 00:33:21.559 GHSA finals, we'll play it there or we'll play it 588 00:33:21.680 --> 00:33:24.599 after and we get back into the Atlanta United discussion 589 00:33:24.599 --> 00:33:27.400 in the final twenty five minutes of the show. So 590 00:33:27.440 --> 00:33:32.039 here's Ronald Hernandez after the match, most of his press 591 00:33:32.079 --> 00:33:39.519 opportunity that he had with Jason at Soldier Field in Chicago. 592 00:33:40.039 --> 00:33:42.559 And so here's Ronald Hernandez after the match, the two 593 00:33:42.599 --> 00:33:47.359 to one loss for a Landy United against Chicago Fire Guys. 594 00:33:48.559 --> 00:33:52.400 Roald Hernandez here again, we'll start with questions in the room. 595 00:33:52.680 --> 00:33:53.799 Jason go Ahead. 596 00:33:54.160 --> 00:33:57.880 Made some information changes today playing in about five. 597 00:33:58.279 --> 00:34:01.920 What worked in your mind and what didn't work? 598 00:34:03.839 --> 00:34:08.400 Obviously it is our freeze change of formation. This decision. 599 00:34:09.559 --> 00:34:14.480 We knew it that isn't going to be perfect, but 600 00:34:14.800 --> 00:34:19.320 mainly we need to to be secure. We gotta five 601 00:34:19.320 --> 00:34:22.280 for the second balls, and then we need to we 602 00:34:22.400 --> 00:34:27.880 gotta have to build our foundation with the backfires. Uh. 603 00:34:28.119 --> 00:34:33.000 To be honest, we did that, but but unfortunately we 604 00:34:33.119 --> 00:34:37.239 got the penalty. Uh, and then that changed a little bit. 605 00:34:37.920 --> 00:34:43.199 But we we have the Rayman said to look to 606 00:34:43.199 --> 00:34:46.800 to go after the game. You know, I think that 607 00:34:46.800 --> 00:34:49.400 that that's why we play backfire. 608 00:34:49.679 --> 00:34:51.199 The mentality and then together. 609 00:34:51.639 --> 00:34:54.559 I felt like there were moments where very connected and 610 00:34:55.119 --> 00:34:58.159 Chicago fowls about people are in their face, and then 611 00:34:58.159 --> 00:34:59.880 there were moments where disconnected. 612 00:35:00.119 --> 00:35:02.239 Was inconsistent in your mind? 613 00:35:02.320 --> 00:35:04.800 Is down to just the pressure of the situation of 614 00:35:04.800 --> 00:35:06.280 not finding results. 615 00:35:06.800 --> 00:35:10.000 Uh, I'm not sure about that. But we need to 616 00:35:10.000 --> 00:35:13.480 be honest with ourselves and then that's the true. We 617 00:35:13.599 --> 00:35:21.360 have been inconsistency this season and that little little details, Yeah, 618 00:35:22.480 --> 00:35:25.360 it changed our difference. You know, it changed the the 619 00:35:27.440 --> 00:35:31.719 sorry it changed it changed the the rhythm of the game. 620 00:35:31.800 --> 00:35:34.159 But we've gotta be a strong We need to bounce back, 621 00:35:34.199 --> 00:35:36.480 and then we have to talked about it. 622 00:35:36.840 --> 00:35:37.199 Uh. 623 00:35:37.960 --> 00:35:38.719 We gotta. 624 00:35:40.000 --> 00:35:45.159 Two to put together more consistency through the full ninety minutes. 625 00:35:45.960 --> 00:35:50.199 There's moments where it feels like Alexi and Miguel get into. 626 00:35:50.000 --> 00:35:53.519 The same spots and try moving them around a few times. 627 00:35:53.800 --> 00:35:55.400 You know, how hard is it at times for you 628 00:35:55.480 --> 00:35:58.679 and your role to find them a dangerous moment? 629 00:35:59.679 --> 00:36:00.000 Uh? 630 00:36:00.079 --> 00:36:05.800 Uh that that is hard. Depend on the opponents always 631 00:36:05.920 --> 00:36:11.880 be me g and Alexis. We need to figure it 632 00:36:11.920 --> 00:36:16.159 out and find different positions to help the team for 633 00:36:16.239 --> 00:36:19.559 a moment. Derek play very good balls for for both 634 00:36:19.559 --> 00:36:23.199 of them, which was the play what we want. 635 00:36:23.800 --> 00:36:24.440 Uh. 636 00:36:24.639 --> 00:36:29.039 But you know, like we go back again on consistency. 637 00:36:29.280 --> 00:36:33.199 We need we've gotta be like to be honest with 638 00:36:33.239 --> 00:36:37.159 each other and move forward. We need to be reviewed 639 00:36:37.199 --> 00:36:40.920 the film and and to be honest. We only can 640 00:36:41.239 --> 00:36:44.239 push and we can only improve this this situation. 641 00:36:45.039 --> 00:36:47.719 And we've talked about it before. You believe the bad. 642 00:36:48.079 --> 00:36:52.159 You defend the city, defend the Colors strongly as anybody. 643 00:36:52.880 --> 00:36:55.519 How hard is it right now to be seeing the 644 00:36:55.559 --> 00:36:56.760 team play and the way they are. 645 00:36:59.519 --> 00:37:03.800 It's tough, man, especially if you are outside. You want 646 00:37:03.800 --> 00:37:07.519 to have the team. I have been here for a 647 00:37:07.559 --> 00:37:12.239 while now, and then you feel shited to be outside 648 00:37:12.320 --> 00:37:16.320 and and and you want to have the team. Today 649 00:37:16.400 --> 00:37:21.760 it was my thur And you know, I know the 650 00:37:21.800 --> 00:37:26.559 people working in the club for so for so much 651 00:37:26.599 --> 00:37:31.079 time that I appreciate things like little around the club 652 00:37:31.079 --> 00:37:34.519 and stuff that I fell in love. But we need 653 00:37:34.559 --> 00:37:37.800 to give more. It's not enough, Our performance is not enough, 654 00:37:37.880 --> 00:37:38.599 and we know that. 655 00:37:42.119 --> 00:37:45.199 There you go, Ronald Hernandez after the match with Jason, 656 00:37:46.039 --> 00:37:50.280 and I thought it was important to play that whole 657 00:37:51.039 --> 00:37:53.880 element if you can find it, find the whole thing. 658 00:37:54.880 --> 00:38:00.719 But that's a handful of minutes, and I thought it 659 00:38:00.760 --> 00:38:05.800 was important to play that because of what Ronald was discussing, 660 00:38:06.000 --> 00:38:09.880 so that it's in the locker room and it's there, 661 00:38:10.840 --> 00:38:13.320 the feelings are there, and it's stuff that we get 662 00:38:13.320 --> 00:38:17.800 into and we've had the discussions about competitive stress and 663 00:38:17.880 --> 00:38:20.480 all those kinds of things. But I thought it was 664 00:38:20.519 --> 00:38:24.280 important to play that whole segment. That's about eighty percent 665 00:38:25.079 --> 00:38:31.280 of Ronald's press conference that he had with the Q 666 00:38:31.400 --> 00:38:33.039 and A at Soldier Field. But I thought it was 667 00:38:33.079 --> 00:38:38.559 important just to hear the frustration from players like Ronald 668 00:38:38.880 --> 00:38:45.480 who absolutely live and die by this badge, and to 669 00:38:45.760 --> 00:38:52.000 have someone like Ronald who will basically he'll give you 670 00:38:52.039 --> 00:38:54.199 one hundred percent every single day on the practice field. 671 00:38:55.119 --> 00:38:59.639 He will play wherever you want him to play. And 672 00:39:00.119 --> 00:39:04.719 what I would also recommend is go back and see 673 00:39:05.599 --> 00:39:08.719 there was the long form feature that we did at 674 00:39:08.800 --> 00:39:16.840 SDH with Ronald, and I would go back and listen 675 00:39:16.960 --> 00:39:21.760 slash watch that to give you an idea where Ronald's 676 00:39:21.760 --> 00:39:27.119 coming from. This is straight up Ronald Hernandez and Ronald 677 00:39:27.119 --> 00:39:29.760 Hernandez once again will live and die by that badge 678 00:39:29.840 --> 00:39:33.079 every single day and twice on game day. And so 679 00:39:33.360 --> 00:39:36.719 when he was asked to be the player to step 680 00:39:36.840 --> 00:39:41.760 up and speak from the player perspective postmatch, to hear 681 00:39:41.800 --> 00:39:46.679 that from Ronald is not a surprise at all. Class 682 00:39:46.719 --> 00:39:49.800 act on and off the field, lays it all out 683 00:39:49.800 --> 00:39:55.599 there for you at one hundred percent and represents the 684 00:39:55.840 --> 00:40:03.960 crest the right way. He's gonna tell you what he thinks. 685 00:40:05.599 --> 00:40:09.039 He is not afraid to hide what he has to say, 686 00:40:12.079 --> 00:40:16.880 and to be able to have him there, I thought 687 00:40:16.920 --> 00:40:18.719 it was I thought it was important to play the 688 00:40:18.760 --> 00:40:21.320 whole thing. So, like I said, that's just part of it. 689 00:40:21.480 --> 00:40:23.679 We'll go through the numbers, and like I said, Scott 690 00:40:23.679 --> 00:40:25.960 Snyder from the Westminster School joining us at ten, Micah 691 00:40:25.960 --> 00:40:30.079 Aiken joining in after that, an abbey, there is a 692 00:40:30.320 --> 00:40:35.320 there is a thought put in the young'uns, and you 693 00:40:35.360 --> 00:40:40.960 are going to have to at some point because of 694 00:40:41.719 --> 00:40:46.679 multiple competition, schedule, compression, what have you? How different are 695 00:40:46.679 --> 00:40:48.559 you going to look? How different are you going to 696 00:40:48.639 --> 00:40:50.360 look on Wednesday? How different are you going to look 697 00:40:50.400 --> 00:40:57.960 on Saturday? Those are the questions for me. Then Abe 698 00:40:57.960 --> 00:41:00.320 and I get to experience it together on when day 699 00:41:00.320 --> 00:41:06.400 in Austin watching from here. But I think there is 700 00:41:07.159 --> 00:41:13.559 a I think that there is opportunity once again. I 701 00:41:13.599 --> 00:41:18.519 think that depending on the health of Pedromador and probably 702 00:41:18.639 --> 00:41:22.239 the idea of a quick turn, you probably are not 703 00:41:23.960 --> 00:41:26.559 unless there is a recovery pattern and we don't know 704 00:41:26.599 --> 00:41:29.639 the bell curve on it, It's probably going to be 705 00:41:31.440 --> 00:41:37.880 some combination of Ronald or Matt and then your back line, 706 00:41:38.559 --> 00:41:46.039 some combination of Louis, Derek, Noah and Ephra and perhaps 707 00:41:46.039 --> 00:41:51.719 Brooks Lennon on the right. Then your midfield once again 708 00:41:52.199 --> 00:41:59.719 click Sleash, Jay and Tristan. Once again, we don't know 709 00:41:59.760 --> 00:42:02.320 where Tristan is in his recovery coming back from the 710 00:42:02.440 --> 00:42:05.079 muscle injury. It wouldn't surprise me once again if he 711 00:42:05.159 --> 00:42:08.079 did not start but came in and gave you thirty. 712 00:42:13.400 --> 00:42:15.440 That would be my that would be my thought on 713 00:42:15.519 --> 00:42:19.239 the midfield, just looking at it from the numbers and 714 00:42:19.440 --> 00:42:23.119 returning from injury, and then once again you have your 715 00:42:23.159 --> 00:42:28.840 decisions up top. We've talked about Togashi, We've talked about 716 00:42:28.880 --> 00:42:35.119 Luke Brennan, We've talked about you know, you have, You've 717 00:42:35.119 --> 00:42:38.559 got obviously Miggy and Mirunchuk and Saba and all of that. 718 00:42:40.119 --> 00:42:42.000 But there will be times in the schedule and this 719 00:42:42.039 --> 00:42:45.559 is probably one of those weeks where it will look different, 720 00:42:46.119 --> 00:42:51.559 but how different and when that's the thing. So that's 721 00:42:51.639 --> 00:42:53.440 that's kind of what you're staring at here. Let's get 722 00:42:53.440 --> 00:42:56.440 into the numbers and lay it all out for you 723 00:42:56.679 --> 00:43:01.239 for this past weekend with Landy United. We talked about 724 00:43:01.239 --> 00:43:03.920 some of the we talked about some of the numbers, 725 00:43:04.000 --> 00:43:05.400 but we do have some breaking news that we do 726 00:43:05.480 --> 00:43:08.559 have to get into from about eighteen minutes ago. But 727 00:43:08.639 --> 00:43:10.199 let me go through the numbers and we'll probably end 728 00:43:10.239 --> 00:43:14.199 our number one with the breaking news and its overseas 729 00:43:14.239 --> 00:43:16.599 and it's one of the worst kept secrets known to Mankak, 730 00:43:17.400 --> 00:43:23.599 but it is finally officially official. So we mentioned some 731 00:43:23.679 --> 00:43:26.480 of the numbers, numbers, Let's get into the lineup once again. 732 00:43:26.519 --> 00:43:29.880 We'll go through the lineup numbers that are there. So 733 00:43:30.199 --> 00:43:33.840 Brad punched a seven point nine. We talked about we 734 00:43:33.920 --> 00:43:37.280 talked about what Brad has been able to do. Six saves, 735 00:43:37.320 --> 00:43:40.079 goals prevented one point three one run out, three saves, 736 00:43:40.119 --> 00:43:43.239 fifteen passes out of the box, eight for twenty on 737 00:43:43.320 --> 00:43:46.920 long balls clearance, won a ground duell and he was 738 00:43:46.960 --> 00:43:51.239 fouled ones back line Ronald Luis, Derek Williams had a 739 00:43:51.280 --> 00:43:54.800 seven point two Matt Edwards and Brooks Lennon. So Derek 740 00:43:54.840 --> 00:43:57.920 Williams on the day since he was the highest rated defender, 741 00:43:59.119 --> 00:44:04.920 played the full nine XG plus x A for the 742 00:44:05.159 --> 00:44:08.159 x everything ap point three to eight fourteen clearances for 743 00:44:08.199 --> 00:44:13.280 Derek Williams in the afternoon one block, sorry, one pick, 744 00:44:13.360 --> 00:44:18.480 two tackles, five of seven on his duels, fouled once, 745 00:44:18.559 --> 00:44:21.360 fifty five of sixty nine passing at eighty percent, seven 746 00:44:21.360 --> 00:44:24.480 of eighteen on long balls, one shot off target, had 747 00:44:24.480 --> 00:44:27.320 one shot blocked and one shot hit the woodwork, but 748 00:44:27.480 --> 00:44:30.840 four but you had the fourteen clearances on the day 749 00:44:31.280 --> 00:44:35.400 for Derek Williams. Midfield Midonchuk was your highest rated midfielder 750 00:44:35.480 --> 00:44:39.119 to seven point zero, Jay Fortune, Matais Klick, Miggy All 751 00:44:39.119 --> 00:44:42.320 in the sixty six to six eight range and Malay 752 00:44:42.400 --> 00:44:48.440 and Midanchuk had that seven with a yellow card twenty 753 00:44:48.519 --> 00:44:51.000 seven to thirty five passing against seventy seven percent. Three 754 00:44:51.039 --> 00:44:54.039 key passes on the day, one one crossed, two long balls, 755 00:44:54.360 --> 00:44:58.159 two shots on target, one off. Only won one duel 756 00:44:58.239 --> 00:45:02.400 on the day, one fouled, two clearances, two blocks, one 757 00:45:02.440 --> 00:45:06.639 total tackle, and then you had the penalty and the penalty. 758 00:45:07.000 --> 00:45:08.960 They're really in the whole lot there that you couldn't 759 00:45:09.000 --> 00:45:14.400 do about it because of once again you're trying to 760 00:45:14.800 --> 00:45:17.000 chest it down and clear it and direct it, and 761 00:45:17.039 --> 00:45:19.360 then as your right arm is chicken winging and then 762 00:45:19.360 --> 00:45:23.960 you're coming across that. To me, obviously that's contact, that's 763 00:45:23.960 --> 00:45:27.840 a handball, and it's unfortunate. But nevertheless, and then Latte 764 00:45:27.920 --> 00:45:31.079 a lot of seven up top, played the full ninety, 765 00:45:31.800 --> 00:45:33.760 did not have a shot on target, had one shot 766 00:45:33.760 --> 00:45:36.920 off target. And I know that you want more to 767 00:45:37.039 --> 00:45:40.559 get to yours, to get to your high signing striker, 768 00:45:40.719 --> 00:45:43.519 so he can have more than just the one shot 769 00:45:43.519 --> 00:45:46.960 off target on the day. One dribble attempt successful, ten 770 00:45:47.000 --> 00:45:51.960 of seventeen passing, three key passes, seven to fourteen on 771 00:45:52.000 --> 00:45:54.280 his duels, three of five on the ground, four of 772 00:45:54.360 --> 00:46:00.719 nine in the air, fouled twice and that's it. J 773 00:46:00.960 --> 00:46:03.119 Fortune once again lined up on the left as a 774 00:46:03.199 --> 00:46:06.599 left winger, but then he would drift back defensively to 775 00:46:06.599 --> 00:46:09.440 be a part of things. And I think that when 776 00:46:09.440 --> 00:46:12.840 you see when you see Jay listed as a left 777 00:46:12.840 --> 00:46:19.800 winger per se, once again, that's probably whistle blows. Jay's 778 00:46:19.840 --> 00:46:22.119 there in the offensive attack, but then he drifts back 779 00:46:22.199 --> 00:46:25.239 to be a part of the midfield defensive corps. So 780 00:46:25.840 --> 00:46:27.559 just because you may see j in a four four 781 00:46:27.639 --> 00:46:29.559 two or a four to three three where he's left wing, 782 00:46:29.880 --> 00:46:32.840 then that's not necessarily going to be the case. So 783 00:46:34.719 --> 00:46:39.519 what in the wide role of sports is what in 784 00:46:39.599 --> 00:46:41.199 the wide role the sports was at I was getting 785 00:46:41.239 --> 00:46:42.519 something in my ear and I didn't know where it 786 00:46:42.599 --> 00:46:45.880 was from, all right, So let me go, let me 787 00:46:45.920 --> 00:46:48.000 go back in because I think I lingered too long 788 00:46:48.079 --> 00:46:56.480 on a particular on a particular who'sy, what's it's in 789 00:46:56.519 --> 00:46:58.840 particular pop up window, that's what I was looking for, 790 00:46:59.400 --> 00:47:05.159 so and all right, so once again before it, let 791 00:47:05.199 --> 00:47:07.599 me let me get Jay's numbers here, let me go 792 00:47:07.639 --> 00:47:09.719 back through the front line. And I'm sorry that the 793 00:47:09.840 --> 00:47:12.239 damn pop up window forced me to reset everything here. So, 794 00:47:12.280 --> 00:47:14.360 like I said, once again, Scott Snyder from Westminster in 795 00:47:14.400 --> 00:47:17.400 ten minutes, and then we got breaking news Scott Snyder 796 00:47:17.400 --> 00:47:19.639 in ten minutes from Westminster, Micah aken behind him at 797 00:47:19.639 --> 00:47:22.519 DEBT ten twenty and then like I said, last twenty 798 00:47:22.639 --> 00:47:24.280 or twenty five minutes, that's probably when we'll hear from 799 00:47:24.360 --> 00:47:29.119 Ronnie Diler. So all right, So the numbers four the 800 00:47:29.159 --> 00:47:31.039 rest of the midfield and the rest of the attack 801 00:47:31.119 --> 00:47:33.559 in the lineup. So we mentioned Jay Fortune, and I 802 00:47:33.559 --> 00:47:36.760 think it was probably because I hovered over something. Jay 803 00:47:36.840 --> 00:47:39.960 on the day seventy three minutes twenty nine of thirty 804 00:47:39.960 --> 00:47:45.320 passing ninety seven percent, four of seven on his ground duels, 805 00:47:46.159 --> 00:47:49.320 fouled twice, two picks, two tackles, and one drouble passed. 806 00:47:50.960 --> 00:47:54.880 Matteas Klick, who I think is rounding into form, getting 807 00:47:54.960 --> 00:47:57.519 close to one hundred percent healthy, played seventy three minutes 808 00:47:58.239 --> 00:48:01.480 twenty seven to thirty six, passing one key pass, one 809 00:48:01.599 --> 00:48:05.440 long ball, two for two on his ground duels, one clearance, 810 00:48:05.519 --> 00:48:09.960 two picks, two total tackles, and then Miggie on the 811 00:48:10.079 --> 00:48:13.199 day played the full ninety twenty four to thirty two, 812 00:48:13.280 --> 00:48:16.360 passing seventy five percent, one long ball, two shots off target, 813 00:48:16.440 --> 00:48:19.679 two shots blocked, two of four on the dribble, five 814 00:48:19.760 --> 00:48:22.000 of nine on ground duels missed, the one in the air, 815 00:48:22.760 --> 00:48:25.440 two fouls, one off side, and three total tackles on 816 00:48:25.480 --> 00:48:28.639 the day for Miguel Almo. So I think it is one. 817 00:48:29.920 --> 00:48:32.639 I think it's one chance in the last two matches 818 00:48:32.719 --> 00:48:38.800 that Miggy has been credited with creating. So that's that's 819 00:48:38.840 --> 00:48:44.400 your numbers when it comes to Atlanta United and Chicago Fire. Okay, 820 00:48:44.920 --> 00:48:47.119 let me get into the breaking news because it broke, 821 00:48:47.239 --> 00:48:49.239 and like I said, it broke bottom of the hour, 822 00:48:49.400 --> 00:48:51.679 so right as we're getting into all of this discussion, 823 00:48:52.119 --> 00:48:55.559 of course, that's when this stuff breaks. I'm not really 824 00:48:55.639 --> 00:49:09.599 surprised by it all. So we're is man, that was loud. Oh, 825 00:49:10.400 --> 00:49:11.360 I didn't realize how loud. 826 00:49:11.440 --> 00:49:11.719 That was. 827 00:49:12.920 --> 00:49:17.440 Shocking no one.

So that's 840 00:49:56.119 --> 00:50:01.320 your news from all of the thing that are going 841 00:50:01.400 --> 00:50:04.960 down over there.

Color me shocked. Yeah, 895 00:53:20.880 --> 00:53:23.800 and Ricky, welcome home, Shabby yep, three year deal, so 896 00:53:24.320 --> 00:53:26.599 those pieces going into place. I don't know how many 897 00:53:26.639 --> 00:53:30.920 of you saw El Classico yesterday, but it was it was. 898 00:53:31.199 --> 00:53:33.599 It was drunk. There's no other way to put it. 899 00:53:33.880 --> 00:53:37.719 It was absolutely crazy. And I had There's one of 900 00:53:37.760 --> 00:53:40.320 my bosses at one of my other gigs, he's like, 901 00:53:40.440 --> 00:53:43.679 should I watch El Classico? And it's a text chain 902 00:53:43.800 --> 00:53:46.880 with me and another one that I work with that's 903 00:53:47.159 --> 00:53:49.760 an arsenal guy, but he understands world sport and he'll 904 00:53:49.800 --> 00:53:52.679 watch things over he'll watch overseas, not just in the 905 00:53:52.719 --> 00:53:56.599 Premier League, and we're like, yeah, you should, just because 906 00:53:57.039 --> 00:53:59.079 And it was, I mean, it was the day drinking. 907 00:53:59.360 --> 00:54:02.400 It was out of it was out of control. And 908 00:54:03.280 --> 00:54:08.639 at the half, if you had an over under of 909 00:54:08.920 --> 00:54:12.719 five and a half, in the first half alone, it 910 00:54:12.880 --> 00:54:18.000 was a plus sixteen twenty five. So you put down 911 00:54:18.039 --> 00:54:20.400 one hundred, you put down a hundie, you come out 912 00:54:20.440 --> 00:54:22.719 of that, you play the over it's at five and 913 00:54:22.760 --> 00:54:25.280 a half yesterday in the first half alone, first forty 914 00:54:25.320 --> 00:54:28.880 five minutes. Then you ended up at a plus sixteen 915 00:54:28.960 --> 00:54:31.800 twenty five or sixteen seventy five one, and it was 916 00:54:31.840 --> 00:54:36.679 north of plus sixteen hundred, so north of plus sixteen 917 00:54:36.760 --> 00:54:39.199 hundred if you had over under five and a half 918 00:54:39.280 --> 00:54:44.559 yesterday for El Classico and you got both sides of 919 00:54:44.639 --> 00:54:47.800 Killian and Bape yesterday, but you got to see the 920 00:54:48.079 --> 00:54:53.400 Classico and Montjuiq was an incredible atmosphere, and I would 921 00:54:53.440 --> 00:54:56.599 recommend if you have the four letter to go back 922 00:54:56.639 --> 00:54:58.960 and watch it, like literally, if you have nothing going on, 923 00:54:59.239 --> 00:55:01.719 you just want to kind of decompress and decompressed into 924 00:55:01.760 --> 00:55:04.960 the crazy for a little bit and have some fun. 925 00:55:05.599 --> 00:55:10.119 Ian Dark Steve McManaman calling that match at Montjuique and 926 00:55:10.480 --> 00:55:15.320 that crowd was nuts. The game was stupid. The crowd 927 00:55:15.480 --> 00:55:19.679 was nuts, and it was out of control. I mean 928 00:55:20.559 --> 00:55:25.159 you could uh Rafena could have had four and Bappe 929 00:55:25.320 --> 00:55:27.719 could have had four if it wasn't either off sides 930 00:55:27.840 --> 00:55:30.519 or flopping. But no, if you if you have the 931 00:55:30.599 --> 00:55:34.880 chance to go back and watch L Classico, go back 932 00:55:34.920 --> 00:55:37.480 and watch it. If you have the chance to watch 933 00:55:37.559 --> 00:55:41.639 it in the future, watch it. But right now it 934 00:55:41.760 --> 00:55:47.360 looks like h it looks like since I think Barsonese, 935 00:55:47.400 --> 00:55:49.559 I think one win. There's seven points up with three 936 00:55:49.639 --> 00:55:53.840 to go, and then they should they should end up 937 00:55:53.880 --> 00:55:55.639 with the trophy, and then that's why and that's probably 938 00:55:55.679 --> 00:56:00.320 another reason why Real Madrid was counting Fiorentina president. Yeah, yeah, Carlo, 939 00:56:00.400 --> 00:56:02.199 go for it. Yeah, go for it. I mean it's 940 00:56:02.239 --> 00:56:04.760 gonna take a lot more, but yeah, go ahead and 941 00:56:04.840 --> 00:56:09.239 see it's all good. But uh yeah, that was absolutely 942 00:56:09.280 --> 00:56:12.639 crazy yesterday, some amazing goals and if you haven't seen 943 00:56:12.719 --> 00:56:19.239 the Montiel goal that was from South America yesterday, it's 944 00:56:19.440 --> 00:56:26.800 probably going to win the Puscus Award a twenty three 945 00:56:27.119 --> 00:56:32.119 yard bicycle kick. It's out there, so all you have 946 00:56:32.199 --> 00:56:34.639 to do, like literally is go Puscus Montiel, m O 947 00:56:34.800 --> 00:56:38.559 N t I E L Pusqus Montiel. Watch it, and 948 00:56:38.639 --> 00:56:40.239 then you're just gonna sit there and you're gonna be 949 00:56:40.280 --> 00:56:41.920 watching the whole thing, and you're probably gonna end up 950 00:56:41.920 --> 00:56:44.199 watching it like fifteen times before you realize that the 951 00:56:44.280 --> 00:56:50.199 loop is over. But no, Puscus Award probably is gonna 952 00:56:50.199 --> 00:56:53.639 go to Montiel for an absolutely insane bicycle kick. But 953 00:56:53.840 --> 00:56:57.039 yesterday El Classico for ninety minutes was just as insane, 954 00:56:57.039 --> 00:56:58.679 and it was more insane, but it's more like ninety 955 00:56:58.760 --> 00:57:01.719 seven minutes because you had stuff happening. After ninety minutes, 956 00:57:02.159 --> 00:57:04.320 you had stuff happening when you thought the match was over. 957 00:57:04.920 --> 00:57:09.679 You thought that you had handballs that weren't called you 958 00:57:09.840 --> 00:57:12.239 had stuff that was called stuff that wasn't You're like, 959 00:57:12.320 --> 00:57:15.440 wait a minute, what's going on here? And it would 960 00:57:15.480 --> 00:57:19.840 have made for an entire segment with Bart. Bart unfortunately 961 00:57:20.159 --> 00:57:21.719 is not with us today. He had to attend to 962 00:57:21.800 --> 00:57:26.239 some family of some family stuff, and all of our 963 00:57:26.320 --> 00:57:29.880 love is headed his direction, obviously, But but yeah, El 964 00:57:29.960 --> 00:57:34.440 Classico watch it yesterday should have been the PSA watch 965 00:57:34.519 --> 00:57:37.480 it and we'll find out how many folks actually did 966 00:57:37.519 --> 00:57:39.800 watch it. But yes, outside of that, the Puscus Award 967 00:57:39.880 --> 00:57:43.320 nominee Montiel in South America definitely worth that as well. 968 00:57:43.480 --> 00:57:46.760 All Right, it is our number two and it is 969 00:57:46.840 --> 00:57:49.360 time to kind of go Soccer's in session and talk 970 00:57:49.400 --> 00:57:51.800 about the GHSA Championship. So we're kind of going, we 971 00:57:52.119 --> 00:57:56.119 are whiplashing from Atlanta United to Montiel and the Pusca's 972 00:57:56.199 --> 00:58:00.639 goal and El Classico to high school soccer because championships 973 00:58:00.679 --> 00:58:03.599 or Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. And our first coach that 974 00:58:03.679 --> 00:58:06.239 we're bringing in since in session is not here today, 975 00:58:07.079 --> 00:58:09.199 Scott Snyder out of Westminster. We get to find out 976 00:58:09.239 --> 00:58:13.000 what's going on with him. How is class. 977 00:58:14.480 --> 00:58:17.880 No we're actually we have a it's called may Atl. 978 00:58:18.000 --> 00:58:21.599 It's a like a little ending sort of a one 979 00:58:21.679 --> 00:58:24.239 course thing, so that we're just doing planning right now. 980 00:58:24.679 --> 00:58:25.679 So how is planning? 981 00:58:26.599 --> 00:58:29.880 Yeah, this is better. 982 00:58:33.880 --> 00:58:37.559 When you have a week like this where you're trying 983 00:58:37.639 --> 00:58:41.920 to prepare for chasing after a state championship. How hectic 984 00:58:42.239 --> 00:58:44.320 is it when you have folks like me knocking on 985 00:58:44.440 --> 00:58:47.760 your door going, coach, can I borrow you for an interview? 986 00:58:47.840 --> 00:58:50.800 You know these? How hectic is this week? And how 987 00:58:50.880 --> 00:58:53.159 do you manage it to make sure that you and 988 00:58:53.280 --> 00:58:55.440 the coaching staff are the ones that get most of 989 00:58:55.480 --> 00:58:57.840 the heat, and that the players can focus and try 990 00:58:57.880 --> 00:58:59.960 to stay away from social media even though they probably 991 00:59:00.000 --> 00:59:02.760 blue won't and their classmates and that kind of stuff. 992 00:59:02.760 --> 00:59:05.000 How do you manage the navigate the pressure? 993 00:59:06.800 --> 00:59:09.280 The big thing that I've gotten to do recently. It's 994 00:59:09.280 --> 00:59:11.639 a luxury, but I use my staff. I mean that's 995 00:59:11.719 --> 00:59:12.239 that's a big. 996 00:59:12.239 --> 00:59:14.159 Part of it. Instead of I used to take on 997 00:59:14.400 --> 00:59:16.280 everything and you know. 998 00:59:16.480 --> 00:59:18.599 All down to the final details of like where we're 999 00:59:18.599 --> 00:59:21.840 gonna get gas for the bus, and now I've kind 1000 00:59:21.880 --> 00:59:25.000 of passed that stuff off and it makes it makes 1001 00:59:25.039 --> 00:59:25.559 it doable. 1002 00:59:25.840 --> 00:59:29.119 And there's definitely. You just you don't sleep very much. 1003 00:59:30.039 --> 00:59:33.199 No, I mean seriously, you don't. I mean not, you know, 1004 00:59:33.400 --> 00:59:35.719 because you how much? How far back do you go 1005 00:59:36.000 --> 00:59:38.360 when you're trying to research an opponent for a situation 1006 00:59:38.559 --> 00:59:39.440 like this, Uh that. 1007 00:59:41.559 --> 00:59:44.320 In today's world, you can go back pretty far if 1008 00:59:44.320 --> 00:59:48.360 you want to, So you try to. I have coaching guilt, 1009 00:59:48.400 --> 00:59:50.400 I'll put it that way, like if I don't do 1010 00:59:50.599 --> 00:59:53.559 certain things and we were not to do well, I 1011 00:59:53.599 --> 00:59:56.320 would feel it was my fault. So I definitely that 1012 00:59:56.559 --> 00:59:59.159 pushes me to stay up another hour to watch a 1013 00:59:59.239 --> 00:59:59.639 little bit. 1014 00:59:59.599 --> 01:00:02.679 More fil what have you sixteen and six Westminster going 1015 01:00:02.719 --> 01:00:05.840 up against fourteen and oh Meyrist coming up Thursday at 1016 01:00:06.480 --> 01:00:12.119 seven point thirty. And when you have a matchup like 1017 01:00:12.199 --> 01:00:15.559 this and full disclosure John A John akins Son, Micah 1018 01:00:15.599 --> 01:00:17.679 is going to be with us to discuss He's up 1019 01:00:17.719 --> 01:00:19.840 after you. You're you're bat and lead off and Mike's 1020 01:00:20.119 --> 01:00:25.239 baton second. Yes, when you have all of these coaches 1021 01:00:25.280 --> 01:00:28.480 and all this responsibility that's there, when did it take 1022 01:00:28.559 --> 01:00:31.480 you to get into this rhythm of deferring instead of 1023 01:00:31.599 --> 01:00:33.400 taking everything on yourself. 1024 01:00:34.800 --> 01:00:37.320 I wish it had been a lot to be honest 1025 01:00:37.360 --> 01:00:42.039 with the I've finally in the recent years, I've gotten 1026 01:00:42.079 --> 01:00:44.159 a really great staff. And I mean it used to 1027 01:00:44.199 --> 01:00:46.480 be I'd have a one assistant and that was just 1028 01:00:47.039 --> 01:00:50.599 the thing. And now I have Ludraft's former players that 1029 01:00:50.960 --> 01:00:54.559 wanted to volunteer to coach, and so it's great to 1030 01:00:54.639 --> 01:00:57.199 have them in the fold and they can help out 1031 01:00:57.199 --> 01:00:59.119 and do things and they enjoy it. 1032 01:00:59.360 --> 01:01:03.119 You know, when you go to a place like Dalton, 1033 01:01:03.639 --> 01:01:06.800 I mean when you talk about guys like Matt Chiefs 1034 01:01:06.960 --> 01:01:10.760 and coaches like yourself that are the stalwarts here in 1035 01:01:10.800 --> 01:01:13.840 the state of Georgia that you are. You know, when 1036 01:01:14.039 --> 01:01:17.320 folks gravitate to talking about Georgia high school soccer, you 1037 01:01:17.559 --> 01:01:20.760 two are toward the front of this list. For those 1038 01:01:20.840 --> 01:01:23.760 that didn't get the chance to see what happened against 1039 01:01:23.880 --> 01:01:27.159 Dalton where it was an early lead that you had 1040 01:01:27.199 --> 01:01:28.960 to come back from and then you're having to go 1041 01:01:29.079 --> 01:01:32.519 to PKS. How crazy was that match with two heavyweights 1042 01:01:32.559 --> 01:01:32.960 going at it? 1043 01:01:35.639 --> 01:01:35.679 It? 1044 01:01:36.559 --> 01:01:41.559 Much like you just said, it was very exciting. I 1045 01:01:41.599 --> 01:01:42.960 guess that's a good way to say it. I mean, 1046 01:01:43.840 --> 01:01:46.360 we went with a definite game plan and. 1047 01:01:48.320 --> 01:01:51.000 When we went down early, that wasn't part of it, obviously, 1048 01:01:53.920 --> 01:01:58.440 but we stayed with the plan, and I usually go 1049 01:01:58.639 --> 01:02:01.480 over like a scattery or now have a lot of information. 1050 01:02:02.159 --> 01:02:04.320 I paired that down for this game, and I just 1051 01:02:05.519 --> 01:02:08.159 zeroed in on five things that we had to stay 1052 01:02:08.280 --> 01:02:12.159 focused on, and that kind of carried us through and 1053 01:02:12.199 --> 01:02:14.880 then we were able to get the goals against them. 1054 01:02:16.119 --> 01:02:17.559 It kind of helped us in the sense that I 1055 01:02:17.639 --> 01:02:21.000 felt that home field advantage sometimes isn't an advantage when 1056 01:02:21.599 --> 01:02:23.519 you're kind of on the ropes and your fans start 1057 01:02:23.559 --> 01:02:24.719 to feel a little tension. 1058 01:02:24.760 --> 01:02:26.440 I thought we were able to accomplish it. It was 1059 01:02:26.440 --> 01:02:27.000 a lot of fun. 1060 01:02:27.239 --> 01:02:29.719 Oh, no doubt, And you know, when you get to 1061 01:02:29.840 --> 01:02:32.280 see the talent that's on your roster and the talent 1062 01:02:32.360 --> 01:02:34.360 that's on theirs. I think for the neutral it's one 1063 01:02:34.400 --> 01:02:35.960 that you could sit there and you go, no, no, no, 1064 01:02:36.280 --> 01:02:38.519 watch this one because of all the talent that's there. 1065 01:02:40.280 --> 01:02:45.039 How difficult is it for you to schedule non region 1066 01:02:45.400 --> 01:02:48.519 or do you purposely try and schedule outside the state 1067 01:02:48.760 --> 01:02:51.599 in that season one the non region to get you 1068 01:02:51.719 --> 01:02:54.960 ready for region and playoffs? Do you schedule purposely out 1069 01:02:55.000 --> 01:02:57.280 of state or is that just a difficulty because of 1070 01:02:57.320 --> 01:02:57.760 who you are? 1071 01:02:58.440 --> 01:03:01.960 No, it's intentional originally from Tennessee, so I have a 1072 01:03:02.000 --> 01:03:05.639 lot of coaching contacts up there, and I've made friends 1073 01:03:06.199 --> 01:03:09.800 in lots of places. So really we play pretty much 1074 01:03:09.840 --> 01:03:12.920 in the same two tournaments out of state that we've 1075 01:03:12.920 --> 01:03:15.559 been doing for years, mainly because of those friendships. But 1076 01:03:15.599 --> 01:03:18.440 then I get to meet more coaches who coach different teams, 1077 01:03:18.480 --> 01:03:21.199 and it's it's it's just a lot of fun. I'm 1078 01:03:21.280 --> 01:03:24.760 from East Tennessee. We go up to Gatlinburg, and Gatlinburg 1079 01:03:24.920 --> 01:03:27.320 is fun for the boys. Even if we don't win 1080 01:03:27.440 --> 01:03:30.480 a game, they still have fun walking around Rednick Riviera. 1081 01:03:30.599 --> 01:03:33.679 So it's good. And yeah, I mean for me, it's 1082 01:03:33.840 --> 01:03:37.239 like going back to the days where you're going to Ripley's, 1083 01:03:37.320 --> 01:03:40.840 You're going to Lums to have yep, breakfast or lunch 1084 01:03:40.920 --> 01:03:42.719 or what have you. And the fact that I can 1085 01:03:42.880 --> 01:03:46.039 remember Lums. Everybody's sitting there going lums. What's lums? No, Look, 1086 01:03:46.239 --> 01:03:48.599 look it up on the wikipedias. You'll you'll know all 1087 01:03:48.639 --> 01:03:52.280 about that. When you go. There was a spot in 1088 01:03:52.360 --> 01:03:57.760 the season when you were playing Georgia competition where you 1089 01:03:57.920 --> 01:04:03.079 go it's the pace level Centennial kel Gauntlet and you 1090 01:04:03.239 --> 01:04:06.519 lose three of those four. What did you learn about 1091 01:04:06.519 --> 01:04:09.159 yourself in a sixteen and six season where you lose 1092 01:04:09.400 --> 01:04:11.559 three of four and you do it and basically a 1093 01:04:11.719 --> 01:04:12.840 nine day period, would you. 1094 01:04:12.920 --> 01:04:18.440 Learn that we needed to get better, that we had deficiencies. 1095 01:04:18.719 --> 01:04:21.599 It's actually it was a and now looking back on it, 1096 01:04:21.719 --> 01:04:24.719 it was a good thing because we would have gone 1097 01:04:24.800 --> 01:04:28.119 in feeling, hey, we know what we are and we 1098 01:04:28.280 --> 01:04:33.440 really didn't. And yeah that Pace beat us handily and 1099 01:04:33.679 --> 01:04:36.840 then we lost the last two. We had already sinched 1100 01:04:36.920 --> 01:04:39.039 up the region seed. 1101 01:04:39.239 --> 01:04:42.119 So we were good there. But yeah, it was a 1102 01:04:42.199 --> 01:04:45.960 case to where we hopefully we're going to learn from it, 1103 01:04:46.039 --> 01:04:47.400 and we have so. 1104 01:04:48.119 --> 01:04:50.360 Scott Snyder, head coach at Westminster, getting ready for the 1105 01:04:50.440 --> 01:04:54.000 club the Class Quad A boys title game in three 1106 01:04:54.119 --> 01:04:57.400 days at dlute seven thirty. Nothing like having to take 1107 01:04:57.800 --> 01:05:02.000 Atlanta traffic and go, yeah, you're having to go down 1108 01:05:02.079 --> 01:05:05.239 and then up. Yeah, that going up eighty five. That's 1109 01:05:05.280 --> 01:05:07.920 going to be fun. My guess. As you're leaving tomorrow 1110 01:05:08.039 --> 01:05:10.360 to try to get there in time to patch up 1111 01:05:10.400 --> 01:05:16.039 at the Luke, I'm trying to count numbers here, four, five, nine, eleven, 1112 01:05:16.559 --> 01:05:19.800 twelve different goal scorers for you this year, one in 1113 01:05:19.880 --> 01:05:22.159 double digits. What's it like to have that kind of balance. 1114 01:05:24.440 --> 01:05:29.599 Well, what happened is we have one player who was 1115 01:05:30.679 --> 01:05:33.639 probably our best player in terms of attack, and he 1116 01:05:33.880 --> 01:05:37.079 missed half the season. He's only come back since the playoffs, 1117 01:05:37.840 --> 01:05:42.960 and that made us have to learn how to manufacture goals. 1118 01:05:43.519 --> 01:05:45.760 And it kind of really spread it out because we 1119 01:05:45.880 --> 01:05:49.119 were coming up with lots of different ways, a lot 1120 01:05:49.159 --> 01:05:50.239 of stuff to be done. 1121 01:05:50.239 --> 01:05:53.159 And then boys grew up, which is nice. It's nice 1122 01:05:53.199 --> 01:05:54.159 to see that evolution. 1123 01:05:55.880 --> 01:05:59.039 Counting the number of seniors, I've got four, I've got 1124 01:05:59.079 --> 01:06:02.000 a handful here. I think eight seniors. I think on 1125 01:06:02.119 --> 01:06:06.800 this roster six seven, eight are that are part of this, 1126 01:06:06.920 --> 01:06:10.079 plus a couple of others. So you've got a lot 1127 01:06:10.159 --> 01:06:12.840 of seniors. What's it been like to see this senior 1128 01:06:12.920 --> 01:06:15.880 class grow to this point to where they're playing for 1129 01:06:16.000 --> 01:06:19.119 a state title in their last matchup in the season. 1130 01:06:21.239 --> 01:06:23.960 This class was really married to the last senior class, 1131 01:06:24.159 --> 01:06:27.760 and they were used to the last year's class kind 1132 01:06:27.760 --> 01:06:31.000 of being the leaders, and so this year, in the beginning, 1133 01:06:31.400 --> 01:06:33.960 it was one of those ones that they had kind 1134 01:06:33.960 --> 01:06:35.199 of learn and grow on their own. 1135 01:06:35.280 --> 01:06:36.800 They they had always been able to. 1136 01:06:36.800 --> 01:06:39.320 Rely on the great leaders that we had had, and 1137 01:06:39.880 --> 01:06:43.440 they've progressed well. But since the playoffs, I mean, it's 1138 01:06:43.519 --> 01:06:47.559 been an evolutionary change. It's a revolutionary change. I'd to 1139 01:06:47.599 --> 01:06:50.519 say we were not hitting on all cylinders. We do 1140 01:06:50.679 --> 01:06:53.000 well and then we play poorly, and then we do 1141 01:06:53.159 --> 01:06:56.000 well and play poorly. Now it's like we kind of 1142 01:06:56.079 --> 01:06:58.679 dialed in and have got things set, and that is 1143 01:06:58.920 --> 01:07:00.159 that came out of those lives. 1144 01:07:00.440 --> 01:07:02.159 That it got us better. 1145 01:07:02.880 --> 01:07:06.199 Was there a moment coming out of those losses where 1146 01:07:07.159 --> 01:07:10.079 you saw that the team had their aha moment? Or 1147 01:07:10.239 --> 01:07:12.960 was it just kind of an evolution of the learning 1148 01:07:13.119 --> 01:07:15.960 from that time frame and then you're like, oh, okay, 1149 01:07:16.079 --> 01:07:18.320 they finally figured out, you know, they finally learned what 1150 01:07:18.480 --> 01:07:21.159 happened in those three losses. Was it a switch that 1151 01:07:21.239 --> 01:07:22.960 got turned on or was it something gradual? 1152 01:07:24.119 --> 01:07:24.480 All right? 1153 01:07:26.360 --> 01:07:28.840 After we lost our last regular season game, I was 1154 01:07:29.320 --> 01:07:32.400 kind of depressed myself. I go home and I'm trying 1155 01:07:32.400 --> 01:07:35.280 to figure out what to do because I mean, I 1156 01:07:35.559 --> 01:07:38.000 got on to them about their faults and that didn't 1157 01:07:38.000 --> 01:07:40.079 seem to be working, and we were just kind of stuck, 1158 01:07:40.719 --> 01:07:42.800 and I sat and tried to figure out In about 1159 01:07:42.800 --> 01:07:45.760 two in the morning, I thought baseball teams always believe 1160 01:07:45.800 --> 01:07:46.400 in curses. 1161 01:07:47.039 --> 01:07:48.880 So I got to figure out what the curse is 1162 01:07:49.599 --> 01:07:50.679 and then I can get rid of it. 1163 01:07:51.840 --> 01:07:54.760 And I googled up and I found pretty cool stories 1164 01:07:54.800 --> 01:07:58.119 about sports teams with curses, including they land the Hawks 1165 01:07:58.119 --> 01:07:59.599 when they lost their Pacman jersey. 1166 01:07:59.679 --> 01:08:03.639 They they struggled. So I told the boys. The next 1167 01:08:03.760 --> 01:08:05.599 day I came in, I said, guys, I know why 1168 01:08:05.639 --> 01:08:07.719 I've been losing. And they all looked at me, like what, 1169 01:08:09.719 --> 01:08:09.920 And I. 1170 01:08:09.960 --> 01:08:13.599 Said, it's our uniforms. They're cursed. I said, I've got 1171 01:08:13.679 --> 01:08:17.079 a cross here. My wife's family had gone to Italy 1172 01:08:17.119 --> 01:08:19.399 and they got a cross blessed by the Pope. 1173 01:08:20.399 --> 01:08:22.520 I've got a cross here, and I'm going to use it. 1174 01:08:22.600 --> 01:08:25.560 And we've got uniforms we have not yet used, and 1175 01:08:25.640 --> 01:08:27.600 we're going to use this cross to bless them and 1176 01:08:27.720 --> 01:08:28.800 then we will be fixed. 1177 01:08:29.279 --> 01:08:31.199 We haven't lost since, so I guess it worked. 1178 01:08:32.520 --> 01:08:36.439 So how difficult is laundry in a situation like this, 1179 01:08:36.800 --> 01:08:41.439 because well, because I mean, I assume that you've got 1180 01:08:41.520 --> 01:08:43.600 to keep track of every piece. You have to make 1181 01:08:43.680 --> 01:08:45.520 sure that all the jerseys are taking care of, all 1182 01:08:45.560 --> 01:08:47.960 the shorts are taken care of. I imagine it's not 1183 01:08:48.199 --> 01:08:51.319 like hockey players or something like that, where yes, we 1184 01:08:51.399 --> 01:08:53.479 are going to put them in the washer and they're 1185 01:08:53.520 --> 01:08:55.880 going to get washed, and it's not the same funk 1186 01:08:55.960 --> 01:08:59.439 from you know, match one when everything turned But how 1187 01:08:59.479 --> 01:09:02.439 difficult is it to keep track of everything and have 1188 01:09:02.600 --> 01:09:05.520 folks sat there and misplaced things, you know, briefly and 1189 01:09:05.600 --> 01:09:07.119 it's like, oh, I know where it is, and then 1190 01:09:07.119 --> 01:09:09.560 everything turnhole again? Has it? Has it been an adventure 1191 01:09:09.680 --> 01:09:11.319 keeping all of this stuff together? 1192 01:09:11.960 --> 01:09:12.199 Well? 1193 01:09:12.720 --> 01:09:16.119 I used to be micro managed and I would take 1194 01:09:16.199 --> 01:09:18.760 up the uniforms after every game, but that just got 1195 01:09:18.840 --> 01:09:22.600 to be too much, and so no, we have extra. 1196 01:09:23.119 --> 01:09:25.319 What I do now is when I get uniforms, I 1197 01:09:25.359 --> 01:09:27.319 get them for both the varsity and JV at the 1198 01:09:27.359 --> 01:09:30.199 same time, and I number them from two up to 1199 01:09:30.359 --> 01:09:34.199 like seventy seven or whatever, and so I always have 1200 01:09:34.319 --> 01:09:36.960 another one because our JV program has been done. 1201 01:09:36.800 --> 01:09:37.640 For about three weeks. 1202 01:09:37.840 --> 01:09:41.159 Okay, yeah, all right, So now we know the rest 1203 01:09:41.199 --> 01:09:44.960 of the story. For someone who goes to Duluth to 1204 01:09:45.079 --> 01:09:48.279 see you and Marist for the first time, they sit 1205 01:09:48.439 --> 01:09:50.520 down there at Duluth and they watch and they watch 1206 01:09:50.600 --> 01:09:55.479 you play, who would be those players that the first 1207 01:09:55.600 --> 01:09:59.159 time Slash neutral viewer would be gravitating toward when it 1208 01:09:59.239 --> 01:10:00.479 comes to your se excess. 1209 01:10:03.079 --> 01:10:07.159 I think our back line has changed since the regular 1210 01:10:07.239 --> 01:10:09.039 season and that's been a big plus for us. 1211 01:10:09.880 --> 01:10:12.520 And along with that, we have a. 1212 01:10:14.479 --> 01:10:19.119 Probably our best striker, best forward has returned and he's 1213 01:10:20.000 --> 01:10:21.920 he makes a big difference for us in that. 1214 01:10:22.720 --> 01:10:25.239 How big a difference is it? You said he makes 1215 01:10:25.279 --> 01:10:27.720 a big difference, So how big a difference is it? Coke? 1216 01:10:29.079 --> 01:10:32.159 Well, if you look at this, he scored both goals 1217 01:10:32.159 --> 01:10:35.000 against Dalton, although the second goal got knocked in by 1218 01:10:35.039 --> 01:10:38.479 somebody else, and he scored scored three goals in our 1219 01:10:38.520 --> 01:10:42.159 second round game. He scored one goal in the first 1220 01:10:42.239 --> 01:10:46.880 round game, and then he scored I shoot the last 1221 01:10:47.039 --> 01:10:50.239 round he scored I think one. Now, he's just he's 1222 01:10:50.279 --> 01:10:52.319 a great kid. And that's the cool thing that I 1223 01:10:52.479 --> 01:10:55.439 like about Westminster is that I've known him since he 1224 01:10:55.600 --> 01:10:58.319 was like in second grade. You know, he comes to 1225 01:10:58.399 --> 01:11:00.319 my camps when he's little, and I've seen him up 1226 01:11:00.359 --> 01:11:01.319 and it's just awesome. 1227 01:11:01.840 --> 01:11:04.760 So what was your first What was your first impression 1228 01:11:04.840 --> 01:11:05.760 when he walked in the door. 1229 01:11:06.600 --> 01:11:09.239 Oh, when he was young, he was winny, he was tiny. 1230 01:11:09.319 --> 01:11:11.079 He still gets mad because my one. 1231 01:11:11.399 --> 01:11:14.039 Middle school coach, he didn't get put on the top 1232 01:11:14.079 --> 01:11:16.039 team when he's in middle school his first year out, 1233 01:11:16.760 --> 01:11:18.520 and I always I use that. I'd go back to 1234 01:11:18.560 --> 01:11:19.920 the middle school now and I was like, look, we 1235 01:11:20.039 --> 01:11:21.720 have this guy, and you know he's going on to 1236 01:11:21.800 --> 01:11:24.159 playing college. But in middle school he was on the 1237 01:11:24.199 --> 01:11:26.399 second team. I said, being on the second team is 1238 01:11:26.439 --> 01:11:28.520 not a knot, guys, it's it's a process. 1239 01:11:30.319 --> 01:11:33.199 Right now, you've only given up twenty six goals in 1240 01:11:33.279 --> 01:11:36.760 twenty two matches, so that's one and four over twenty two, 1241 01:11:36.880 --> 01:11:39.039 so it's like one point one point eight. Brag on 1242 01:11:39.119 --> 01:11:40.680 your defense a little bit. What's it been like to 1243 01:11:40.720 --> 01:11:42.800 see them do what they've been able to do this year? 1244 01:11:44.159 --> 01:11:46.520 Ooh, that's actually a source for me because I'd like 1245 01:11:46.640 --> 01:11:49.560 that goal to be a lot less. Okay, there was 1246 01:11:49.680 --> 01:11:52.079 one year he gave up five goals for the whole 1247 01:11:52.159 --> 01:11:55.560 season and you know we lost a game four nothing. 1248 01:11:55.640 --> 01:11:57.279 This year, I was like, guys, that's almost like. 1249 01:11:57.319 --> 01:11:58.159 A season's worth. 1250 01:11:58.760 --> 01:11:59.920 But yeah, I really. 1251 01:12:01.319 --> 01:12:06.159 Along with the changing the cursed uniforms, which was it 1252 01:12:06.279 --> 01:12:08.800 was good for us. We changed our formation and we 1253 01:12:08.960 --> 01:12:12.560 change some of the personnel, and it's it's like most things, 1254 01:12:12.640 --> 01:12:14.399 like when you can find the right thing when they gel, 1255 01:12:15.000 --> 01:12:17.319 it just works. It's not like that you moved people 1256 01:12:17.439 --> 01:12:20.439 all over the field, but just sometimes a little subtle 1257 01:12:20.520 --> 01:12:22.079 change is like the one guy in the right place 1258 01:12:22.239 --> 01:12:23.439 makes everything fall in. 1259 01:12:24.920 --> 01:12:31.319 So how much time are you going to devote a 1260 01:12:31.520 --> 01:12:35.520 day between now and game day to what's going on? 1261 01:12:35.640 --> 01:12:38.119 You say you don't necessarily get a whole lot of sleep, 1262 01:12:38.880 --> 01:12:40.680 But do you talk, do you step away, do you 1263 01:12:40.720 --> 01:12:42.479 sit there and take breaks? Or are you just kind 1264 01:12:42.479 --> 01:12:44.880 of locked into this whole thing this entire time and 1265 01:12:44.920 --> 01:12:46.359 then you'll worry about sleep later. 1266 01:12:47.520 --> 01:12:50.520 I've got to be better giving myself grace because I 1267 01:12:51.159 --> 01:12:53.560 feel like I've got to be doing Like when I'm 1268 01:12:53.560 --> 01:12:55.319 not doing something, I have guilt that I should be 1269 01:12:55.399 --> 01:12:57.880 doing something. And you do need to be able to 1270 01:12:57.920 --> 01:13:02.600 take time and sit back because you know, when you're young, 1271 01:13:02.760 --> 01:13:03.279 you can do this. 1272 01:13:03.399 --> 01:13:06.560 All the time. It's like hundercent because it's just pure, 1273 01:13:06.880 --> 01:13:07.880 you know, adrenaline. 1274 01:13:08.680 --> 01:13:11.159 But as I gotten older, I've got to find ways 1275 01:13:11.199 --> 01:13:13.800 to pace myself because I do not want to be 1276 01:13:13.840 --> 01:13:16.560 a burnout. And there's times where you're like you're making 1277 01:13:16.600 --> 01:13:18.159 yourself do stuff and I'm like, all right, I'm just 1278 01:13:18.199 --> 01:13:21.399 gonna step back and just watch Saturn Night Live for 1279 01:13:21.479 --> 01:13:22.439 an hour and then come. 1280 01:13:22.319 --> 01:13:26.880 Back there you go. Okay, so as promised, Micah is here. 1281 01:13:27.199 --> 01:13:29.039 He's coming from the green room and so this is 1282 01:13:29.039 --> 01:13:33.800 where we do the hot tag. But before you go, now, Mike, 1283 01:13:33.880 --> 01:13:36.439 Mike is going to enjoy this all right. So, uh, 1284 01:13:36.600 --> 01:13:40.800 since coach Snyder was here first, Coach Schnyder, do you 1285 01:13:41.000 --> 01:13:44.600 have a question for Coach Aiken leading into the matches? 1286 01:13:46.399 --> 01:13:49.840 Oh, that's a good question. I don't know if I'm 1287 01:13:49.880 --> 01:13:53.279 reading for that. No, I know, I know of Mike. Uh, 1288 01:13:53.680 --> 01:13:55.399 this is the first time I actually got to talk 1289 01:13:55.399 --> 01:13:59.439 to him directly. But his father is the coach at 1290 01:13:59.439 --> 01:13:59.840 Ogle with Oar. 1291 01:13:59.880 --> 01:14:01.760 But I think my daughter went to Oglethorpe, and I've 1292 01:14:01.800 --> 01:14:04.680 known John for years and tried to send players his 1293 01:14:04.800 --> 01:14:07.239 way and stuff, So I think highly of his father, 1294 01:14:07.279 --> 01:14:08.920 and that'd be the thing that's not really question, is 1295 01:14:09.119 --> 01:14:11.600 just a statement for I know he's probably tired of 1296 01:14:11.640 --> 01:14:12.600 hearing about his father this. 1297 01:14:15.479 --> 01:14:18.159 Yeah, I mean, honestly, honestly, at this point, I'm so 1298 01:14:18.399 --> 01:14:21.399 used to it, you know, especially since I played for 1299 01:14:21.479 --> 01:14:23.720 him for four years at Oglethorpe too, So it's like 1300 01:14:24.439 --> 01:14:29.199 it's just it's just intermingling at all parts, you know, 1301 01:14:29.319 --> 01:14:31.800 and now now my brother on varsity, so my dad's 1302 01:14:31.840 --> 01:14:34.640 at all the games watching his son play and coach. 1303 01:14:34.760 --> 01:14:38.159 So it's like, you know, the the family dynamic is there, 1304 01:14:38.239 --> 01:14:40.239 and it's been there for a while, so I'm just 1305 01:14:40.399 --> 01:14:41.399 used to it at this point. 1306 01:14:42.520 --> 01:14:45.079 So Micah, do you have a question for coach Snyder 1307 01:14:45.199 --> 01:14:47.319 before we let him go and actually go back to 1308 01:14:47.359 --> 01:14:48.960 study hall and get ready for you? 1309 01:14:49.880 --> 01:14:54.760 Yeah, you know, you've you've obviously been in the high 1310 01:14:54.760 --> 01:14:56.600 school scene for a long time. This is, you know, 1311 01:14:56.720 --> 01:15:01.159 my my third year. What are some things that you know, 1312 01:15:01.439 --> 01:15:03.760 you tell your players leading up to I mean, you 1313 01:15:03.840 --> 01:15:05.600 guys made it to the state final last year. You 1314 01:15:05.680 --> 01:15:08.600 wanted out last year. You know, you're you're finding yourself 1315 01:15:08.640 --> 01:15:11.239 there again. What are some things that you kind of 1316 01:15:11.279 --> 01:15:14.279 tell your players to help keep them motivated. I mean, 1317 01:15:14.359 --> 01:15:16.880 it's such a long season, you know, and they start 1318 01:15:16.960 --> 01:15:20.039 to get tired, and I mean, I'm sure Westminster's similar 1319 01:15:20.319 --> 01:15:23.079 when it comes to Maris with scheduling. I mean, there's 1320 01:15:23.199 --> 01:15:25.920 so many activities going on in the spring, So how 1321 01:15:26.000 --> 01:15:28.680 do you kind of find that balance of keeping your 1322 01:15:28.720 --> 01:15:33.279 players focused without you know, completely taking away from some 1323 01:15:33.359 --> 01:15:34.760 of the other things that they have going on in 1324 01:15:34.840 --> 01:15:35.159 the spring. 1325 01:15:35.920 --> 01:15:39.359 Yeah, well I'm a big movie guy, and so I 1326 01:15:39.479 --> 01:15:42.079 always like to uh and obviously they don't have the 1327 01:15:42.199 --> 01:15:45.279 tension span to watch a movie anymore, but you can. 1328 01:15:45.239 --> 01:15:48.479 Pull in clips from movies and like that. We'll do 1329 01:15:49.199 --> 01:15:51.560 pregate like, well we're gonna have practice state, but. 1330 01:15:51.600 --> 01:15:54.399 We'll have a meeting before and a couple of movie 1331 01:15:54.439 --> 01:15:56.800 clips that I think are kind of like relevant to 1332 01:15:56.880 --> 01:16:01.159 what's going on, and they enjoy those. And also, I'm 1333 01:16:01.199 --> 01:16:03.720 smart enough now or maybe I was dumb back then 1334 01:16:03.880 --> 01:16:06.560 or both. But you try to make it fun. I mean, 1335 01:16:06.600 --> 01:16:08.760 it's still supposed to be fun. You know, you want 1336 01:16:08.800 --> 01:16:11.159 to win and all those things. But when we went 1337 01:16:11.199 --> 01:16:13.119 up to Dalton last week, that was my big thing. 1338 01:16:13.159 --> 01:16:15.079 It's like, hey, just enjoy this moment. I mean, how 1339 01:16:15.119 --> 01:16:17.920 many times you're gonna be just like you guys? I 1340 01:16:18.039 --> 01:16:20.439 got to come watch your pious game and what an 1341 01:16:20.520 --> 01:16:23.520 awesome you like crowd and things like you feel. Really 1342 01:16:23.560 --> 01:16:25.239 you'll never get that at a club game. And I 1343 01:16:25.359 --> 01:16:27.680 always preach that. I mean, to me, we're like the 1344 01:16:27.800 --> 01:16:31.560 national teams. Club is the pro teams and it's more 1345 01:16:31.640 --> 01:16:32.239 fun for us. 1346 01:16:33.079 --> 01:16:36.319 What what movies are you thinking of pulling? Clips from 1347 01:16:36.720 --> 01:16:37.319 Oh yeah. 1348 01:16:37.960 --> 01:16:40.960 Oh like when we went to Dalton. 1349 01:16:41.000 --> 01:16:44.119 We they're so trite because everybody used them, but we 1350 01:16:44.239 --> 01:16:47.319 used Miracle, which works because Doun't wears red uniforms. They 1351 01:16:47.359 --> 01:16:48.479 weren't really rushing, but it. 1352 01:16:50.479 --> 01:16:54.279 Played into it. So I'm a big Rocky guy. I mean, 1353 01:16:54.359 --> 01:16:56.439 I grew up. I watched Rocky two before every high 1354 01:16:56.439 --> 01:16:59.560 school game. I know every second of that scene. Oh 1355 01:17:00.079 --> 01:17:02.880 oh but yeah. And then there's there's really cool documentaries 1356 01:17:02.880 --> 01:17:03.319 out there too. 1357 01:17:03.359 --> 01:17:06.920 There's one about this Memphis football team that's on Amazon Prime. 1358 01:17:06.760 --> 01:17:09.159 And it is awesome and it's cool. 1359 01:17:09.199 --> 01:17:09.720 It's so cool. 1360 01:17:09.760 --> 01:17:11.640 It's like you want to go back and find out 1361 01:17:11.640 --> 01:17:13.560 where are these kids now? And it was just a 1362 01:17:13.680 --> 01:17:16.239 volunteer football coach that coach for year and it was 1363 01:17:16.359 --> 01:17:17.720 real life, which makes it better. 1364 01:17:18.439 --> 01:17:22.520 As always you that's very cool and so Scott, thanks 1365 01:17:22.600 --> 01:17:25.800 for coming by, especially in a massively busy week. Yeah, 1366 01:17:26.119 --> 01:17:28.680 breaking it all down for us. And uh so, like 1367 01:17:28.800 --> 01:17:31.000 I said, thanks for being a part of everything. Thanks 1368 01:17:31.079 --> 01:17:32.960 for doing what you do for high school soccer and 1369 01:17:33.039 --> 01:17:34.800 high school athletics here in the state of Georgia. We'll 1370 01:17:34.800 --> 01:17:36.600 catch up with you soon, my friend. Thanks for dropping by. 1371 01:17:36.920 --> 01:17:37.600 I appreciate it. 1372 01:17:37.680 --> 01:17:37.960 Thank you. 1373 01:17:38.239 --> 01:17:40.520 There we go, Scott Snyder. Now it's time to catch 1374 01:17:40.600 --> 01:17:43.760 up with a friend of the fam in front of 1375 01:17:43.800 --> 01:17:47.359 the network, Micah Aiken. And uh so, now that you've 1376 01:17:47.359 --> 01:17:49.600 got your you got your question in for coach Snyder 1377 01:17:49.720 --> 01:17:53.479 over there at Westminster, What's what's preparation been like for 1378 01:17:53.560 --> 01:17:56.079 you getting ready for the final exam after knocking off 1379 01:17:56.119 --> 01:17:57.119 BT one though. 1380 01:17:58.119 --> 01:18:00.560 Yeah, I think for us, you know, we've been watching 1381 01:18:00.560 --> 01:18:03.039 a lot of film, just kind of trying to figure out, 1382 01:18:03.199 --> 01:18:05.199 you know, how they play and what their system and 1383 01:18:05.279 --> 01:18:08.319 shape are, and you know, picking up on tendencies, and 1384 01:18:08.439 --> 01:18:11.039 then over the next couple of days, it's just really 1385 01:18:11.159 --> 01:18:15.039 trying to recreate some of those moments. You know, they've 1386 01:18:15.079 --> 01:18:17.479 got a kid who's really dangerous on long throw ins. 1387 01:18:17.520 --> 01:18:19.760 We want to be making sure we're managing that properly, 1388 01:18:19.880 --> 01:18:23.479 and so just a lot of different kind of game 1389 01:18:23.600 --> 01:18:27.159 situational moments, you know, because we're we've been out of that, 1390 01:18:27.760 --> 01:18:29.520 you know, we got to run and keep our fitness 1391 01:18:29.600 --> 01:18:32.079 up kind of stage. Now it's just maintaining that fitness 1392 01:18:32.119 --> 01:18:34.640 and then, like we said, handling game time moments. So 1393 01:18:35.680 --> 01:18:38.680 we've been working on that started yesterday. I'm going to 1394 01:18:38.760 --> 01:18:41.199 try to continue with it through today and tomorrow, and 1395 01:18:41.279 --> 01:18:44.479 then a quick little light walk through the day before 1396 01:18:44.520 --> 01:18:45.720 the game leading up to Thursday. 1397 01:18:45.800 --> 01:18:48.840 So fourteen and oh eight No in Reagion, Number five 1398 01:18:49.000 --> 01:18:51.520 nationally in some polls, number four in the state of 1399 01:18:51.600 --> 01:18:55.800 Georgia in some polls. How difficult was it for you 1400 01:18:55.960 --> 01:19:00.199 to navigate the three matches in basically ten days where 1401 01:19:00.439 --> 01:19:04.319 it's north of Coney Centennial BT. How difficult was it 1402 01:19:04.399 --> 01:19:06.079 to navigate that part of the playoff? 1403 01:19:07.880 --> 01:19:12.239 I think for for our team specifically, you know, we 1404 01:19:12.479 --> 01:19:16.439 had a lot of opportunities for breaks. I think, you know, 1405 01:19:16.520 --> 01:19:19.479 at this stage, especially with games you know, happening so 1406 01:19:19.600 --> 01:19:22.760 close together, it's really important to take some time off. 1407 01:19:22.880 --> 01:19:26.840 So after the first two of those games, and actually 1408 01:19:26.840 --> 01:19:29.159 after the BT game as well, we gave them a 1409 01:19:29.279 --> 01:19:32.199 day off the day after the game, you know, and 1410 01:19:32.319 --> 01:19:33.880 just said take care of what you need to take 1411 01:19:33.920 --> 01:19:37.079 care of, you know, because again, it's the spring season 1412 01:19:37.199 --> 01:19:39.119 is just so hectic for a lot of these guys. 1413 01:19:39.199 --> 01:19:42.079 And you know, I've got ten seniors on the team 1414 01:19:42.600 --> 01:19:46.439 who you know, have everything across the moon right now 1415 01:19:46.560 --> 01:19:49.239 starting to come up with They got graduation and baccalaureate 1416 01:19:49.279 --> 01:19:52.359 and everything so you know, finding time for them to 1417 01:19:52.439 --> 01:19:55.079 take care of that stuff, I think really clears their 1418 01:19:55.159 --> 01:19:58.600 head when we get into practice time. So you know, 1419 01:19:58.680 --> 01:20:00.800 it's it's beneficial to give them a little bit of 1420 01:20:00.840 --> 01:20:05.279 that balance. So I noticed for us specifically, given that 1421 01:20:05.399 --> 01:20:10.479 time off, we really came in sharp for practices and uh, 1422 01:20:10.680 --> 01:20:14.960 we just were ready. You know, the boys were super excited. 1423 01:20:15.039 --> 01:20:18.600 They were amped on practice days, and it really kind 1424 01:20:18.640 --> 01:20:21.279 of led to the culmination of what we've been able 1425 01:20:21.319 --> 01:20:23.039 to accomplish over those past few games. 1426 01:20:23.439 --> 01:20:29.760 So four goals allowed all season. Half of those were 1427 01:20:30.199 --> 01:20:34.039 in one matchup, in a matchup that you beat Cross 1428 01:20:34.199 --> 01:20:38.399 Keys Janie Gobrik March seven, So that's two. That's nine 1429 01:20:38.479 --> 01:20:40.920 weeks ago. You gave up half of the goals that 1430 01:20:41.039 --> 01:20:44.479 you've given up this season. What has it been like 1431 01:20:44.640 --> 01:20:48.000 to see this defense be what it is to where 1432 01:20:48.119 --> 01:20:49.600 Yank giving up nothing to nobody. 1433 01:20:51.159 --> 01:20:54.199 Yeah, I mean, it's it's exciting. You know, I have 1434 01:20:54.560 --> 01:20:57.439 I have a group of solid corps of players in 1435 01:20:57.560 --> 01:20:59.680 a back, in a back five or even sometimes the 1436 01:20:59.720 --> 01:21:05.239 back six, who just understand roles and responsibilities, you know, 1437 01:21:05.560 --> 01:21:09.079 and on top of that, they're they're strong, you know, 1438 01:21:09.159 --> 01:21:12.359 they don't give up anything. Easily. So you know, they 1439 01:21:12.520 --> 01:21:16.960 have just been extremely organized. I mean it was you know, 1440 01:21:17.239 --> 01:21:22.119 after day one, Uh, these guys were yes, Coach understand 1441 01:21:22.319 --> 01:21:24.399 and it was never a oh well this doesn't make 1442 01:21:24.479 --> 01:21:26.800 sense or this doesn't make sense. You know. They there 1443 01:21:26.880 --> 01:21:28.800 wasn't a lot of trying to figure things out. It 1444 01:21:28.920 --> 01:21:32.680 was just hey, we've got it covered and we're we're 1445 01:21:32.720 --> 01:21:35.279 gonna make it happen, you know. And they all understand 1446 01:21:35.319 --> 01:21:38.159 each other so well too. They're really good friends, and 1447 01:21:38.239 --> 01:21:40.680 I think some of the off of the field stuff 1448 01:21:41.399 --> 01:21:45.319 really benefits their kind of cohesion as a back line 1449 01:21:45.319 --> 01:21:48.399 as well. They're really good friends. They understand each other's 1450 01:21:48.439 --> 01:21:51.520 tendencies and they know, you know, hey, if Ed gets 1451 01:21:51.560 --> 01:21:53.520 the ball, he's gonna want it on his right foot, 1452 01:21:53.600 --> 01:21:55.039 or even if he's on his left foot, I need 1453 01:21:55.079 --> 01:21:56.479 to show at an angle to give him the right 1454 01:21:56.760 --> 01:21:59.640 the right opportunity to find find my feet. So, you know, 1455 01:21:59.760 --> 01:22:02.119 they they just understand each other so well. And it's 1456 01:22:02.359 --> 01:22:04.840 it's honestly, very little of what we've done. We kind 1457 01:22:04.880 --> 01:22:07.359 of gave them a blueprint and you know, the players 1458 01:22:07.439 --> 01:22:10.039 have taken it and just run with it. And it's 1459 01:22:10.079 --> 01:22:11.880 been it's been super exciting to watch. 1460 01:22:12.239 --> 01:22:14.279 How long did it take for them to get to 1461 01:22:14.960 --> 01:22:19.039 that where it's just second nature and I don't have 1462 01:22:19.159 --> 01:22:20.840 to worry about it. I know that if I do 1463 01:22:21.079 --> 01:22:23.600 this to hear that everything's going to be fine. How 1464 01:22:23.640 --> 01:22:25.000 long did it take for them to get to it 1465 01:22:25.079 --> 01:22:26.000 where's second nature? 1466 01:22:27.000 --> 01:22:29.960 I mean, honestly, it was. It was probably the first 1467 01:22:30.159 --> 01:22:32.520 you know, two or three weeks of training. I think 1468 01:22:32.600 --> 01:22:35.640 we you know, have the opportunities. We saw it in game. 1469 01:22:35.960 --> 01:22:38.680 You know, we had already played enough games too to 1470 01:22:38.760 --> 01:22:41.720 where we saw what some different formations might look like. 1471 01:22:41.920 --> 01:22:45.520 So how we line up against certain teams kind of 1472 01:22:45.560 --> 01:22:48.680 played a factor, and you know, it was it was 1473 01:22:48.760 --> 01:22:51.199 clicking pretty early. I will say, you know, in that 1474 01:22:51.319 --> 01:22:53.319 cross Keys game, there was a lot of kind of 1475 01:22:53.359 --> 01:22:57.319 outside variables. Girls game finished early, so now we're starting early. 1476 01:22:57.399 --> 01:23:00.159 It's throwing our warm up routine off. You know, was 1477 01:23:00.159 --> 01:23:03.760 our first first game playing on that turf field over 1478 01:23:03.800 --> 01:23:05.800 at North to Cab and so the first goal we 1479 01:23:05.880 --> 01:23:08.560 gave up, my keeper actually told me it was like Coach, 1480 01:23:08.600 --> 01:23:10.640 I slipped. It was like that was not it was 1481 01:23:10.680 --> 01:23:12.479 like I could have very easily gotten that ball, but 1482 01:23:12.560 --> 01:23:15.640 I just I backpedaled and slipped on it. So you know, 1483 01:23:16.479 --> 01:23:20.000 that could have been a very very easy recovery for 1484 01:23:20.159 --> 01:23:23.039 him to stop maybe one of those goals. So, you know, 1485 01:23:23.239 --> 01:23:25.359 those two that we gave up against cross Keys is 1486 01:23:25.439 --> 01:23:29.039 maybe not not our best moment, but you know, throughout 1487 01:23:29.039 --> 01:23:31.159 the course of the season, and as we continued, you know, 1488 01:23:31.239 --> 01:23:33.640 and we were able to keep our rhythm before game days. 1489 01:23:34.760 --> 01:23:37.760 That was that was a huge component of just our success, 1490 01:23:38.000 --> 01:23:42.680 you know, not having any kind of you know, alteration 1491 01:23:42.840 --> 01:23:45.479 in terms of how we prap and what we do 1492 01:23:45.600 --> 01:23:46.359 for our warm up. 1493 01:23:47.960 --> 01:23:53.319 When it comes to this group of yours going up 1494 01:23:53.319 --> 01:23:57.920 against Westminster. If and I and I asked Coach Snyder 1495 01:23:58.039 --> 01:24:01.560 this question too, I said, so, so first time viewer, 1496 01:24:02.279 --> 01:24:05.159 someone who hasn't seen you play, somebody you know, the casual, 1497 01:24:05.319 --> 01:24:07.720 just comes to sit down and they want to watch 1498 01:24:07.800 --> 01:24:09.920 what's going to happen at Duluth in a couple of 1499 01:24:10.000 --> 01:24:13.439 days time. When things are going well for you, who 1500 01:24:13.600 --> 01:24:16.479 do their eyes gravitate toward who are we keeping an 1501 01:24:16.520 --> 01:24:19.840 eye on on your team? So we know that things 1502 01:24:19.880 --> 01:24:21.960 are going well for Marist against Westminster. 1503 01:24:23.520 --> 01:24:28.000 Yeah, I mean, you know, for me, Edward Kennedy, my 1504 01:24:28.239 --> 01:24:32.560 my big central player in that back three. I mean 1505 01:24:32.640 --> 01:24:35.159 he's been phenomenal all season. One Player of the year 1506 01:24:35.239 --> 01:24:37.800 for the region. You know, had I want to say 1507 01:24:37.800 --> 01:24:40.079 it was eight goals or nine goals in region play 1508 01:24:40.199 --> 01:24:43.520 and was a big, huge part of the success in 1509 01:24:43.640 --> 01:24:46.800 giving up so little goals throughout the season, and you know, 1510 01:24:46.880 --> 01:24:49.920 and actually won us a couple of games on some 1511 01:24:50.239 --> 01:24:54.079 some major headers, you know, cross Keys game it was 1512 01:24:54.199 --> 01:24:55.800 I think I believe it was two two, and his 1513 01:24:55.960 --> 01:24:57.920 diving header across is what made it three to two 1514 01:24:58.000 --> 01:25:00.960 to put us in the lead. You know. So he 1515 01:25:00.960 --> 01:25:04.119 he's just a big time player to watch and he's 1516 01:25:04.119 --> 01:25:06.680 been fantastic for us this season. And and he's one 1517 01:25:06.720 --> 01:25:09.239 of those that just gets it. And then I would 1518 01:25:09.239 --> 01:25:11.720 say a couple others that you know, you'll have to 1519 01:25:11.800 --> 01:25:14.239 keep an eye out for our grand bird. Number twenty 1520 01:25:14.279 --> 01:25:19.159 two freshman came in, was originally playing with JV and 1521 01:25:19.359 --> 01:25:22.279 got an opportunity to call up and started and it's 1522 01:25:22.359 --> 01:25:25.000 been he's been in the starting lineup since, you know. 1523 01:25:25.199 --> 01:25:29.560 So he's been electric, very technical player, It's comfortable on 1524 01:25:29.640 --> 01:25:32.760 the ball, makes good game time decisions. So he'll be 1525 01:25:32.960 --> 01:25:34.760 he'll be one to look out for if we're if 1526 01:25:34.800 --> 01:25:37.479 we're on our a game. But I'll be honest too. 1527 01:25:37.680 --> 01:25:39.439 You know, those are just kind of two that stick out, 1528 01:25:39.520 --> 01:25:41.680 But really you'll know we're playing well if all eleven 1529 01:25:41.760 --> 01:25:44.600 are just linking passes together and in the right positions, 1530 01:25:44.600 --> 01:25:47.760 because you'll see formationally, we do a very good job 1531 01:25:47.800 --> 01:25:50.680 of keeping our shape and trusting in each other as 1532 01:25:50.680 --> 01:25:53.359 a team, and so I think that's been a huge, 1533 01:25:53.479 --> 01:25:55.640 huge part of our success as well. It's like we said, 1534 01:25:56.000 --> 01:25:58.399 you know, when you only give up four goals all season, 1535 01:25:58.760 --> 01:26:01.439 a part of that is just comfort and understanding of 1536 01:26:01.880 --> 01:26:05.000 formation and shape and what roles and responsibilities are for 1537 01:26:05.079 --> 01:26:07.760 each player. And so you know, we give them obviously 1538 01:26:07.920 --> 01:26:11.359 the freedom to have that kind of creativity when they 1539 01:26:11.399 --> 01:26:13.960 have the ball at their feet, you know, and the 1540 01:26:14.039 --> 01:26:16.319 creativity to make the decisions on and off the ball. 1541 01:26:16.439 --> 01:26:19.439 But really just that that comfort and keeping their shape 1542 01:26:19.479 --> 01:26:21.800 and their positioning is when is when we look super 1543 01:26:21.920 --> 01:26:22.479 super clean. 1544 01:26:23.600 --> 01:26:26.520 How much film study have you done on Westminster or 1545 01:26:26.600 --> 01:26:27.760 do I even need to ask? 1546 01:26:29.960 --> 01:26:34.079 We've watched a couple of their most recent games, you know, 1547 01:26:34.560 --> 01:26:37.880 specifically playoff games, because I feel like it's you know 1548 01:26:37.920 --> 01:26:40.640 a lot of what you see in region games is 1549 01:26:40.800 --> 01:26:42.399 going to be different than what you might see in 1550 01:26:42.479 --> 01:26:46.199 playoff games, you know, there's a whole slew of things 1551 01:26:46.279 --> 01:26:49.000 that could be happening throughout region play. You know, they're 1552 01:26:49.079 --> 01:26:51.760 still in school, so there's stuff going on. They could 1553 01:26:51.760 --> 01:26:53.520 have been out for a certain day or different things 1554 01:26:53.560 --> 01:26:55.399 like that. So you know, once you get into the 1555 01:26:55.399 --> 01:26:57.680 state playoffs is kind of where it solidifies a little 1556 01:26:57.720 --> 01:27:00.760 bit more in terms of what your expectations of. You 1557 01:27:00.840 --> 01:27:03.920 know who's coming on the field, you know what formation 1558 01:27:04.039 --> 01:27:07.760 they might play. So we've definitely done our due diligence 1559 01:27:07.960 --> 01:27:10.239 over the past several playoff games as well as one 1560 01:27:10.319 --> 01:27:13.880 or two regular season games. But you know, I think 1561 01:27:14.000 --> 01:27:16.359 I think we've got a solid game plan, and again, 1562 01:27:16.399 --> 01:27:18.920 it really is going to boil down to us. So 1563 01:27:19.000 --> 01:27:22.439 the biggest key for me is focusing on how we play, 1564 01:27:22.600 --> 01:27:26.119 how how we want to accomplish our goals. And you 1565 01:27:26.199 --> 01:27:30.039 know the boys yesterday, I mean they were fired up. 1566 01:27:30.199 --> 01:27:32.560 You know when we were in training just moving the 1567 01:27:32.600 --> 01:27:35.720 ball really well. I mean I could add twelve thirteen 1568 01:27:35.760 --> 01:27:37.399 players to the other team and they still would have 1569 01:27:37.439 --> 01:27:39.600 found ways to find pockets of space and find ways 1570 01:27:39.640 --> 01:27:43.039 to play. So you know, they're really really dialed in 1571 01:27:43.159 --> 01:27:45.279 on this, and I think it's you know, it's it's 1572 01:27:45.359 --> 01:27:47.520 crude us to all the players for you know, continuing 1573 01:27:47.600 --> 01:27:51.119 to stay locked in. So yeah, it's it's I'm excited, 1574 01:27:51.199 --> 01:27:52.079 it's gonna be a fun game. 1575 01:27:52.439 --> 01:27:55.760 How do you keep them from getting too excited and 1576 01:27:55.920 --> 01:27:59.600 too locked in and too amped up? You want them 1577 01:27:59.600 --> 01:28:03.399 to pay sit heading into that game. But if they're 1578 01:28:03.479 --> 01:28:06.520 already you know, playing you know, nineteen on you know, 1579 01:28:06.840 --> 01:28:09.439 nineteen on eleven, and they're handling it. You know, you 1580 01:28:09.479 --> 01:28:11.560 want to keep adding more players, more players, more players, 1581 01:28:12.000 --> 01:28:16.439 how do you keep them calm and locked in understanding that. Yeah, 1582 01:28:16.479 --> 01:28:18.920 it's cool to you know, it's it's cool to jump 1583 01:28:18.960 --> 01:28:20.880 out of your skin a little bit, but you know, 1584 01:28:21.000 --> 01:28:22.680 it's a long week. You got to you still have 1585 01:28:22.720 --> 01:28:24.439 a couple of days. How do you keep that tempered? 1586 01:28:25.720 --> 01:28:28.279 Yeah, I mean I think you know, for us, it's 1587 01:28:28.399 --> 01:28:31.000 it's really in how we train. You know, we like 1588 01:28:31.079 --> 01:28:33.680 to break sessions up and handle things in a certain way, 1589 01:28:33.800 --> 01:28:36.760 so you know, we don't do a lot of scrimmaging, 1590 01:28:36.880 --> 01:28:40.000 especially at this stage, just because again we want to 1591 01:28:40.119 --> 01:28:43.079 look at some more uh, you know, minute details, So 1592 01:28:43.199 --> 01:28:46.680 we'll scrimmage for a little bit. But I actually I 1593 01:28:46.760 --> 01:28:49.159 feel like over the course of the season we've we've 1594 01:28:49.239 --> 01:28:52.399 had the opposite issue. You know, for us, where there's 1595 01:28:52.439 --> 01:28:55.000 a lot of games we come in very calm, cool 1596 01:28:55.039 --> 01:28:57.960 and collected and maybe you know, the nerves. The nerve 1597 01:28:58.039 --> 01:29:00.880 side of things for them is more so a you know, 1598 01:29:01.239 --> 01:29:04.039 I'm just going to try to relax rather than you know, 1599 01:29:04.159 --> 01:29:07.720 get too amped up. So I think that's that's part 1600 01:29:07.760 --> 01:29:10.119 of the reason why they're successful in A twelve thirteen 1601 01:29:10.239 --> 01:29:12.920 fourteen v. Eleven is because they're just They're cool as 1602 01:29:12.920 --> 01:29:13.479 a cucumber. 1603 01:29:13.640 --> 01:29:13.800 You know. 1604 01:29:14.880 --> 01:29:17.920 These guys are are very calm, cool and collected. They understand, 1605 01:29:18.399 --> 01:29:20.239 you know, and this has been a reiteration over the 1606 01:29:20.279 --> 01:29:23.119 course of the season from all of our coaches on staff. 1607 01:29:23.199 --> 01:29:25.920 It's you know, mistakes are going to happen. You know, 1608 01:29:26.119 --> 01:29:28.560 how do you respond to a mistake is what's more important. 1609 01:29:28.600 --> 01:29:30.600 You know, you're not going to always be perfect. So 1610 01:29:30.680 --> 01:29:33.079 if you misplace the pass, what's the next step? How 1611 01:29:33.119 --> 01:29:33.920 do you respond to that? 1612 01:29:34.039 --> 01:29:34.760 How do you react? 1613 01:29:34.840 --> 01:29:37.840 And so I think they're comfortable in that in that 1614 01:29:38.039 --> 01:29:40.920 realm of Okay, I can make a mistake. Mistakes are 1615 01:29:41.039 --> 01:29:43.119 are natural parts of the game, but I just have 1616 01:29:43.239 --> 01:29:46.159 to make sure that my response to that mistake is 1617 01:29:47.279 --> 01:29:49.439 is going to benefit the team and it's crucial for 1618 01:29:49.960 --> 01:29:52.880 our success leading into the final as well. 1619 01:29:52.960 --> 01:29:56.479 So what are you the most confident about going into 1620 01:29:56.520 --> 01:29:59.920 this matchup against Westminster and what concerns you the most 1621 01:30:00.119 --> 01:30:00.920 about Westminster? 1622 01:30:02.359 --> 01:30:07.279 I think I have confidence in our ability to keep 1623 01:30:07.319 --> 01:30:10.399 possession through the midfield. I think we're going to have 1624 01:30:10.840 --> 01:30:14.560 some very good movement on and off the ball to 1625 01:30:14.680 --> 01:30:17.479 try to create some space, but also have confidence that 1626 01:30:17.680 --> 01:30:19.920 if it doesn't work out right away and we kind 1627 01:30:19.960 --> 01:30:23.119 of feel ourselves getting pinned back and you know, Westminster 1628 01:30:23.239 --> 01:30:25.840 maybe takes the forefoot, I have confidence that, you know, 1629 01:30:25.960 --> 01:30:28.319 we can absorb pressure until we figure out what we 1630 01:30:28.439 --> 01:30:30.039 need to do and where to find the space to 1631 01:30:30.079 --> 01:30:33.720 break it down. That was a huge component for our 1632 01:30:34.000 --> 01:30:36.680 win against BT, where you know, for the first fifteen 1633 01:30:36.720 --> 01:30:38.479 to twenty minutes, we felt like we were defending for 1634 01:30:38.560 --> 01:30:40.039 the most part of it and we were having trouble 1635 01:30:40.079 --> 01:30:42.520 breaking out. But then as we got into the second 1636 01:30:42.560 --> 01:30:44.640 half and things settled down a little bit, we were 1637 01:30:44.680 --> 01:30:46.880 finding more room, we were finding more gaps and starting 1638 01:30:46.920 --> 01:30:49.560 to create create problems for BT, and that's how we 1639 01:30:49.600 --> 01:30:51.479 pick up a goal. As we switched the point of 1640 01:30:51.520 --> 01:30:52.960 the attack holding Mit gets at the top of the 1641 01:30:53.000 --> 01:30:54.880 box and he is not afraid to have a rip 1642 01:30:55.000 --> 01:30:57.920 and he just let it go, you know, and that 1643 01:30:58.079 --> 01:31:00.000 was that was a huge moment for us as a team. 1644 01:31:00.319 --> 01:31:02.760 So I would say that's where I'm confident. One thing 1645 01:31:02.840 --> 01:31:06.680 I will kind of, you know, give credit to Westminster's 1646 01:31:06.760 --> 01:31:10.319 I think they they find, you know, kind of a 1647 01:31:11.000 --> 01:31:14.560 calmness in chaos. So I think they like to throw 1648 01:31:14.680 --> 01:31:17.319 chaotic moments at teams to try to cause some problems, 1649 01:31:17.399 --> 01:31:20.279 and you know, they find themselves calm in those situations. 1650 01:31:20.359 --> 01:31:24.119 So long throw ins, you know, clearances off long throw ins, 1651 01:31:24.159 --> 01:31:27.039 corner kicks, like they they like to really throw the 1652 01:31:27.079 --> 01:31:29.239 gambit from what we could tell. And so we just 1653 01:31:29.359 --> 01:31:32.000 have to make sure that even in those moments, we're 1654 01:31:32.439 --> 01:31:35.960 taking care of ourselves and what we need to accomplish 1655 01:31:36.000 --> 01:31:37.880 to make sure that we're not giving up, you know, 1656 01:31:38.000 --> 01:31:40.920 anything off of a moment of a moment of or 1657 01:31:41.000 --> 01:31:41.760 loss of focus. 1658 01:31:42.079 --> 01:31:45.399 So Michaeh Aikin, the head coach at maris getting ready 1659 01:31:45.439 --> 01:31:48.920 for the matchup against Westminster at Duluth in theory seven 1660 01:31:48.960 --> 01:31:53.119 point thirty on Thursday. If things don't happen longer before him, 1661 01:31:53.199 --> 01:31:56.199 which would create more fun approaches and things like that. Miki, 1662 01:31:56.199 --> 01:31:57.800 It's always great to see you, my friend. Thanks for 1663 01:31:57.920 --> 01:31:59.920 dropping by.

We played the 1689 01:33:19.720 --> 01:33:23.039 Ronald Hernandez sound that we didn't bleeve, so we earned 1690 01:33:23.039 --> 01:33:25.199 our explicit rating this morning in hour number one. But 1691 01:33:25.680 --> 01:33:27.760 we also caught up with head coaches at Westminster and 1692 01:33:27.880 --> 01:33:30.000 marrist on the boys side.

You've got a lot of folks talking about stuff, 1771 01:38:16.239 --> 01:38:21.159 and so here is the as promised, the conversation that 1772 01:38:21.479 --> 01:38:25.119 was had, at least a part of it, probably half 1773 01:38:25.880 --> 01:38:29.680 the conversation that Ronnie Dila had with the media, and 1774 01:38:29.880 --> 01:38:33.479 it starts with Jason's first question. Once again courtesy of 1775 01:38:33.520 --> 01:38:36.680 our friends at Atlanta United, here's Ronnie Dila after the 1776 01:38:36.760 --> 01:38:41.600 matchup with Atlanta United and Chicago Fire. Ronnie Diala starting off, 1777 01:38:41.720 --> 01:38:45.199 answering a Jason's first question after the matchup this weekend 1778 01:38:45.359 --> 01:38:46.039 in Chicago. 1779 01:38:46.279 --> 01:38:47.880 I think it was a difficult pitch to play on 1780 01:38:48.079 --> 01:38:50.560 because it's very sticky and a lot to win, especially 1781 01:38:50.600 --> 01:38:53.920 first off. I think we had to defend a lot, 1782 01:38:54.760 --> 01:38:57.359 and I think we wanted to go out with a 1783 01:38:57.399 --> 01:39:00.920 back five to control more and I'm more control when 1784 01:39:00.960 --> 01:39:04.439 switches come and also get players more higher pitch when 1785 01:39:04.520 --> 01:39:06.159 we when we win it and play a little bit 1786 01:39:06.199 --> 01:39:08.319 more longer and get more of the first pour. Second most, 1787 01:39:09.239 --> 01:39:11.680 I think we come into some good moments, but we 1788 01:39:11.760 --> 01:39:16.319 won't accurate enough in bid the ball and also too 1789 01:39:16.359 --> 01:39:18.880 soft inside our own box. So I think that's what's 1790 01:39:18.960 --> 01:39:21.600 gonna is the message. Like through the whole game, you know, 1791 01:39:21.680 --> 01:39:24.960 we give away too much easy like the penalty situation. 1792 01:39:25.039 --> 01:39:26.520 I think it's six to seven night times that we 1793 01:39:26.560 --> 01:39:28.760 can clear that ball in the box and then with 1794 01:39:28.880 --> 01:39:31.600 that penalty to them without it's not even a close 1795 01:39:31.640 --> 01:39:34.039 first chance, so that it does, of course in a 1796 01:39:34.079 --> 01:39:39.520 difficult situation. But I think we were kept in and 1797 01:39:39.720 --> 01:39:42.319 in second half we are coming more and more into it, 1798 01:39:42.399 --> 01:39:44.319 and I think we in the end deserve to get 1799 01:39:44.359 --> 01:39:49.239 the goal. And then I'm very very disappointed how soft 1800 01:39:49.319 --> 01:39:51.880 we are, and I'll we don't track runners, we don't 1801 01:39:51.920 --> 01:39:54.439 defend the same way, and we let them get into 1802 01:39:54.479 --> 01:39:56.760 the game one chance, okay, you can accept, But when 1803 01:39:56.760 --> 01:39:59.279 it come too and three chances to them with the 1804 01:39:59.720 --> 01:40:03.600 ball losses and then counter attacks and we don't do 1805 01:40:03.720 --> 01:40:06.800 the job. That's uh, that's what we have to learn. 1806 01:40:07.039 --> 01:40:07.119 Uh. 1807 01:40:07.359 --> 01:40:10.479 If not, we we're not gonna win football games one 1808 01:40:10.520 --> 01:40:12.640 one here. You can take that video and then uh, 1809 01:40:12.880 --> 01:40:14.399 maybe you had a chance to win it as well. 1810 01:40:15.680 --> 01:40:17.760 Then you put yourself in situation we are two one down, 1811 01:40:18.800 --> 01:40:20.800 then uh, then of course it's gonna be tough to 1812 01:40:21.399 --> 01:40:22.279 to win football games. 1813 01:40:23.079 --> 01:40:25.760 Felt like there were waves in the game where there 1814 01:40:25.800 --> 01:40:29.680 were moments where from one another and there were moments 1815 01:40:29.840 --> 01:40:31.399 where they were everything. 1816 01:40:32.560 --> 01:40:35.880 Is that inconsistency just kind of the nature struggling results. 1817 01:40:35.560 --> 01:40:36.000 At the moment. 1818 01:40:36.239 --> 01:40:39.119 Yeah, well totally right. That's what's so when you can 1819 01:40:39.159 --> 01:40:41.199 come in and you can say, I felt we show 1820 01:40:41.239 --> 01:40:43.119 that we wanted more today, like a little bit the 1821 01:40:43.159 --> 01:40:45.399 same as it was it for thirty five minutes against Nashville. 1822 01:40:46.039 --> 01:40:48.079 You see the spirit, you see the fight but then 1823 01:40:48.119 --> 01:40:51.119 you see also in the next situation, we we we 1824 01:40:51.199 --> 01:40:53.520 switched off and we we give away things that it 1825 01:40:53.560 --> 01:40:55.720 is not possible to do. Uh, and then you end 1826 01:40:55.840 --> 01:40:57.960 up with on the wrong side of the the goal 1827 01:40:58.000 --> 01:40:59.520 scorer and you don't get points. 1828 01:41:00.960 --> 01:41:02.920 What other ways are there in your mind to try 1829 01:41:02.920 --> 01:41:08.039 to get a few different ways? 1830 01:41:08.399 --> 01:41:09.359 Is there anything else to do? 1831 01:41:10.399 --> 01:41:13.079 Yeah, of course, you know, we have to keep keep 1832 01:41:13.199 --> 01:41:18.000 moving forward talking about situations and they also you know, 1833 01:41:18.520 --> 01:41:23.119 it's about accountabilability for for everybody. Everybody has a responsibility, 1834 01:41:23.199 --> 01:41:25.159 but it has started with hard work. That just has 1835 01:41:25.239 --> 01:41:27.000 to be a bottom and as you say, I think 1836 01:41:27.039 --> 01:41:29.600 today you see a lot of hard work, but it's 1837 01:41:29.640 --> 01:41:32.640 inconsistent and we need to have that consistence over time 1838 01:41:32.960 --> 01:41:34.960 and especially inside of the two boxes. We need to 1839 01:41:35.000 --> 01:41:40.680 be more deadly than we are. So so I think 1840 01:41:40.760 --> 01:41:42.640 again also we went to a back fourth to get 1841 01:41:42.680 --> 01:41:45.000 a goal. We get the goal, but then also you 1842 01:41:45.079 --> 01:41:48.359 see the the problems we get with switches or play 1843 01:41:48.560 --> 01:41:51.000 and uh, when we come half and half and on 1844 01:41:51.159 --> 01:41:54.439 track runners, then then you get get into a bad situations. 1845 01:41:54.520 --> 01:41:56.359 So in a way, we went for it. So you know, 1846 01:41:56.920 --> 01:42:00.239 back five, I've felt control. But of course we need 1847 01:42:00.279 --> 01:42:01.640 to score goals as well. So it's a find that 1848 01:42:01.760 --> 01:42:04.880 balance between things. So and on the road you need 1849 01:42:04.960 --> 01:42:07.199 to suffer. You need to to stay to stick together. 1850 01:42:07.359 --> 01:42:10.760 And now, as I said, now and I see to said, 1851 01:42:11.039 --> 01:42:11.800 we have to come you know. 1852 01:42:11.880 --> 01:42:12.760 You have to come together. 1853 01:42:12.800 --> 01:42:16.159 We have to feel the feeling that we have now 1854 01:42:16.640 --> 01:42:19.119 and understand that the only way forward now is to 1855 01:42:19.399 --> 01:42:25.119 to really really be humble and accountable and then uh, 1856 01:42:25.720 --> 01:42:28.039 and understand that you need to do that as a team. 1857 01:42:28.680 --> 01:42:31.439 Then there's nothing now to sit and be inside and 1858 01:42:32.159 --> 01:42:34.439 think about yourself or feel sorry for yourself or whatever. 1859 01:42:34.880 --> 01:42:38.479 It's not the time. It's the time to take responsibility. 1860 01:42:38.560 --> 01:42:40.840 It's the time to take care of each other. It's 1861 01:42:40.880 --> 01:42:43.279 the time to be ready and and uh and start 1862 01:42:43.319 --> 01:42:45.560 to go. And there should be a long time since 1863 01:42:45.600 --> 01:42:47.520 we we do that. And I'm tired to hear about 1864 01:42:47.560 --> 01:42:50.720 all the talent we have because uh, that's been said 1865 01:42:50.760 --> 01:42:52.880 of a long long time, not before my time. Also, 1866 01:42:53.479 --> 01:42:57.880 talent is not enough. We need We need unity and 1867 01:42:58.039 --> 01:43:03.640 uh and uh and hardworking mentality that is strong enough 1868 01:43:04.399 --> 01:43:06.960 in good times and in bad times. And into that way, 1869 01:43:06.960 --> 01:43:09.479 it's the only way now to break that circle and 1870 01:43:09.520 --> 01:43:12.800 start to win football games. That's that's that's how it is, 1871 01:43:12.880 --> 01:43:15.279 and it can't be in periods. Has to be consistent 1872 01:43:15.720 --> 01:43:17.680 and has to be accountable. It has to be put 1873 01:43:17.760 --> 01:43:21.039 accountability to each other on the pitch and also to 1874 01:43:21.119 --> 01:43:23.640 the staff and to me if there's something that is 1875 01:43:23.960 --> 01:43:27.119 not clear enough, something we need tomorrow, whatever. I think 1876 01:43:27.159 --> 01:43:30.600 that that the door is always there and from there 1877 01:43:30.640 --> 01:43:34.520 we have to grow because we are where we are 1878 01:43:34.640 --> 01:43:35.479 because we deserve it. 1879 01:43:37.199 --> 01:43:41.640 Ronnie Diiler, head coach of at Landy United. And there's 1880 01:43:41.640 --> 01:43:44.359 a lot in there. And like I said, this is 1881 01:43:44.479 --> 01:43:52.800 why I like the format that we have because we 1882 01:43:53.000 --> 01:43:57.920 can take longer than just the twenty second SoundBite that 1883 01:43:57.960 --> 01:44:03.079 folks can take out of context and misinterpret, misidentify what 1884 01:44:03.239 --> 01:44:06.199 have you? Where we can go and run, you know, 1885 01:44:06.439 --> 01:44:09.159 three minutes of Ronald Hernandez, four minutes of Ronnie dialup 1886 01:44:10.560 --> 01:44:15.880 then so Ronnie sick of hearing things and he said, 1887 01:44:15.920 --> 01:44:18.199 you got to backtrack, You got to be back there defensively, 1888 01:44:18.920 --> 01:44:23.640 and you know, at the same time admitting that you know, 1889 01:44:23.760 --> 01:44:26.239 if there's something that's not getting through in translation, then 1890 01:44:26.359 --> 01:44:28.920 it's something that you know, obviously he and the staff 1891 01:44:29.000 --> 01:44:34.439 have to work for. But he's you know, you heard 1892 01:44:34.479 --> 01:44:41.079 how frustrated he was in the post match interview setting 1893 01:44:41.279 --> 01:44:47.680 that was there. So so there you go. Once again. 1894 01:44:48.079 --> 01:44:50.439 This is a very it's this is the first big 1895 01:44:50.560 --> 01:44:55.439 week of a lot of big weeks, and you're in 1896 01:44:55.560 --> 01:44:58.159 a week where you're coming out of Chicago. You don't 1897 01:44:58.199 --> 01:45:00.640 really have time to And this is something that we 1898 01:45:01.039 --> 01:45:06.079 discuss with other coaches and things in situations where if 1899 01:45:06.119 --> 01:45:08.600 you're coming off of a loss, the fact that you 1900 01:45:08.680 --> 01:45:11.680 have three matches in a week means that you can 1901 01:45:12.760 --> 01:45:17.359 basically take this one, flush it, but don't forget it, 1902 01:45:18.239 --> 01:45:20.199 because there's a difference flush it and forgetting it is 1903 01:45:20.239 --> 01:45:22.239 one thing flushing it and remembering it and taking the 1904 01:45:23.039 --> 01:45:27.520 lesson and going forward to something else. So you have 1905 01:45:27.680 --> 01:45:31.680 the opportunity here with Atlanta United to sit there and 1906 01:45:31.800 --> 01:45:35.359 learn from what happened with Chicago, learn from what Ronnie 1907 01:45:35.399 --> 01:45:39.399 Dallas said postmatch, and apply it to what you're seeing 1908 01:45:39.439 --> 01:45:43.560 with Austin. And you get to do the same thing 1909 01:45:43.840 --> 01:45:48.159 from from Austin and from Chicago and apply it forward 1910 01:45:48.159 --> 01:45:51.399 to Philadelphia. But, like I said, three separate approaches in 1911 01:45:51.439 --> 01:45:56.439 three separate places where these teams are right now, where 1912 01:45:56.520 --> 01:46:00.760 you have Chicago, who is rebuilding under Gregborholter, you have 1913 01:46:00.880 --> 01:46:05.439 Austin who can't score except in open Cup competition against 1914 01:46:05.560 --> 01:46:08.920 USL Championship competition where they were down to one to 1915 01:46:09.039 --> 01:46:12.079 l Passo Locomotive, scored too quickly, turned around, came back 1916 01:46:12.119 --> 01:46:13.960 and got the win to advance to the round of sixteen. 1917 01:46:14.680 --> 01:46:16.880 And everybody's like, oh, they found their they found their 1918 01:46:16.920 --> 01:46:21.039 shooting shoes, understood that it was against a team that 1919 01:46:21.119 --> 01:46:26.880 you should have beaten from a lower division, and you 1920 01:46:27.760 --> 01:46:30.239 you found the minutes, you found the connections, and I 1921 01:46:30.359 --> 01:46:32.600 think that if you were watching the match, I also 1922 01:46:32.680 --> 01:46:37.319 think that El Paso was they were fading and it 1923 01:46:37.399 --> 01:46:39.600 was an opportunity for Austin to take advantage of it. 1924 01:46:40.319 --> 01:46:43.560 But yes, Austin in MLS play has only scored one 1925 01:46:43.640 --> 01:46:46.199 goal I think in the last four weeks, well five 1926 01:46:46.279 --> 01:46:53.079 weeks or two and five, So they are still struggling 1927 01:46:54.760 --> 01:46:57.560 offensively and it's an opportunity for Atlanta to take advantage 1928 01:46:57.600 --> 01:47:03.199 of that come midweek. So you look at Austin and 1929 01:47:03.319 --> 01:47:09.560 we mentioned their goal scoring lack of prowess, and right 1930 01:47:09.720 --> 01:47:14.359 now Austin five six and one, they've only scored eight 1931 01:47:14.399 --> 01:47:20.680 goals all season, tied for at last in the Western conference, 1932 01:47:22.479 --> 01:47:28.600 tied for next to last in all of Major League Soccer. 1933 01:47:29.079 --> 01:47:34.039 Montreal has scored six lag and Austin have scored eight. 1934 01:47:36.479 --> 01:47:43.439 Going into the statistics, I believe that that own goal 1935 01:47:43.560 --> 01:47:48.039 is second on the roster right now, or it might 1936 01:47:48.119 --> 01:47:52.439 have it might have trimmed its way back. But Brandon 1937 01:47:52.520 --> 01:47:57.359 Vasquez has scored three of the club's eight goals. Biro Pereira, 1938 01:47:57.720 --> 01:48:03.880 galaher Buccari and Azuni have scored one each. So you're 1939 01:48:03.920 --> 01:48:07.000 going up against the team and I would not anticipate 1940 01:48:07.039 --> 01:48:10.000 that this matchup in Austin is going to be a 1941 01:48:10.079 --> 01:48:12.319 high scoring matchup because of the two keepers that you 1942 01:48:12.520 --> 01:48:17.640 have in Brad Gazanne and Brad Steuver, the defense in 1943 01:48:17.720 --> 01:48:21.880 this match brought to you by the letters Brad, So 1944 01:48:23.399 --> 01:48:25.800 anticipate a lower scoring game. So you have to be 1945 01:48:25.840 --> 01:48:28.359 clinical and take advantage of opportunities when they're presented to you. 1946 01:48:31.079 --> 01:48:33.279 So you're coming out of the match in Chicago, You're 1947 01:48:33.319 --> 01:48:36.479 going into a match that could be very defensive, very 1948 01:48:36.520 --> 01:48:38.880 low scoring, and then you're going into a matchup against 1949 01:48:38.920 --> 01:48:43.640 Philadelphia which is very very physical on the weekend. So 1950 01:48:43.800 --> 01:48:47.520 this is the individual challenges that you're facing in the 1951 01:48:47.560 --> 01:48:50.079 collective of the struggles that you're seeing with Atland United 1952 01:48:50.119 --> 01:48:55.920 this year. So that's where you are right now. We 1953 01:48:56.000 --> 01:48:58.119 talked about all Classico, and like I said, we'll talk 1954 01:48:58.119 --> 01:49:00.319 about more about Atlanta United as the week go. We're 1955 01:49:00.319 --> 01:49:02.600 going to try and get our OPO research from some 1956 01:49:02.720 --> 01:49:04.760 folks that we are trying to track down in Austin, 1957 01:49:05.479 --> 01:49:07.520 and we'll try and track them down as best we 1958 01:49:07.600 --> 01:49:10.119 can to try to have them on either Tuesday or Wednesday, 1959 01:49:10.560 --> 01:49:12.600 and then catch up with our buddy Dave Leno on 1960 01:49:12.720 --> 01:49:15.079 either Thursday or Friday, so we'll see what we can 1961 01:49:15.119 --> 01:49:17.000 do there when it comes to getting ready for Philadelphia. 1962 01:49:18.119 --> 01:49:22.840 All right, So that's Atlanta Nighted once again. Conversations are 1963 01:49:22.880 --> 01:49:24.640 going to be there with it about Atlanta Nighted all 1964 01:49:24.640 --> 01:49:26.319 week long, so we can get into that, and that's 1965 01:49:26.960 --> 01:49:28.560 that's always going to be a topic that's going to 1966 01:49:28.560 --> 01:49:32.479 be available. Probably can get into that more tomorrow considering 1967 01:49:32.880 --> 01:49:36.479 everything that will be available to us coming out of 1968 01:49:36.800 --> 01:49:39.359 those conversations. So once again, and if you missed it 1969 01:49:39.439 --> 01:49:41.399 in our number one, it is going to be me 1970 01:49:41.479 --> 01:49:45.359 and Abe from Colony Square in the studios of ninety 1971 01:49:45.359 --> 01:49:46.880 two nine in the game. So ninety two nine in 1972 01:49:46.880 --> 01:49:49.199 the game in the Audissey app. Mike and Jason will 1973 01:49:49.239 --> 01:49:52.079 be in Austin. Maddie will be there as well for 1974 01:49:52.239 --> 01:49:56.520 the Unified broadcast at atlutd dot com slash Live. I 1975 01:49:56.560 --> 01:49:59.520 can't wait for Alex Everley to wear a ten gallon hat. 1976 01:50:01.840 --> 01:50:05.520 And then so Jason and Maddy on Unified, Mike and 1977 01:50:05.640 --> 01:50:08.680 Jason on the match itself with atlanda United me and 1978 01:50:08.760 --> 01:50:12.439 a pre and post. So eight forty means seven thirty, 1979 01:50:13.000 --> 01:50:17.760 so seven thirty start temperatures supposed to be well into 1980 01:50:17.840 --> 01:50:21.439 triple digits. One hundred and six is listed as the 1981 01:50:21.560 --> 01:50:26.479 high temperature in Austin on Wednesday, so we'll see what 1982 01:50:26.640 --> 01:50:29.399 happens there. And once again this falls into the whole 1983 01:50:29.479 --> 01:50:35.600 idea about anything and everything that will be attached to 1984 01:50:35.720 --> 01:50:39.319 this one that is a part of the greater picture. 1985 01:50:41.000 --> 01:50:46.520 Coming out of Chicago heading into Austin, looking three days later. 1986 01:50:47.359 --> 01:50:51.279 Friday said, yeah, three days later, you get home, you regenerate, 1987 01:50:51.479 --> 01:50:57.159 you walk through, you got Philly, you regenerate yesterday. Maybe 1988 01:50:57.199 --> 01:51:03.319 you got yesterday off ight, walk through travel Austin, you 1989 01:51:03.439 --> 01:51:08.920 come home, regenerate, walk through Philly. So that's where you are. 1990 01:51:09.079 --> 01:51:14.560 You are with atlanda United Right, now and once again 1991 01:51:14.680 --> 01:51:17.680 Ronnie Diaila and he ain't having it. Wasn't having it. 1992 01:51:17.720 --> 01:51:21.560 After the matchup in Chicago, you heard that got to 1993 01:51:21.560 --> 01:51:23.880 get back and defend, especially when you've got an equalizer 1994 01:51:24.000 --> 01:51:29.760 that you worked for with ten minutes to go. So 1995 01:51:30.159 --> 01:51:33.560 I will be intrigued to see what it looks like 1996 01:51:33.640 --> 01:51:38.159 at practice and what it looks like around the board 1997 01:51:38.239 --> 01:51:41.359 when it comes to who's in the starting eleven, who's 1998 01:51:41.399 --> 01:51:43.439 in the match day eighteen, who's going to get minutes, 1999 01:51:43.760 --> 01:51:46.319 how do you manage your minutes? All of those questions 2000 01:51:46.359 --> 01:51:47.720 here in the midwek to get you ready for the 2001 01:51:47.760 --> 01:51:50.600 big matchup against Philly on the weekend, and I know 2002 01:51:50.720 --> 01:51:52.840 that you you kind of have to look at things. 2003 01:51:52.880 --> 01:51:56.000 And I know that Abe was one who was not 2004 01:51:56.199 --> 01:51:59.399 going to line things up and he's not looking at 2005 01:51:59.439 --> 01:52:03.920 Philly yet, But you kind of have to, I would think, 2006 01:52:04.039 --> 01:52:07.279 just because of your roster standpoint and managing minutes and 2007 01:52:07.279 --> 01:52:09.920 all these kinds of things. Unless you just want to 2008 01:52:09.960 --> 01:52:14.840 sit there and go after the Philadelphia matchup, then you 2009 01:52:14.920 --> 01:52:17.359 don't have to worry about anything until the matchup with 2010 01:52:17.479 --> 01:52:23.760 Cincinnati on the twenty fifth. But then you turn around 2011 01:52:23.800 --> 01:52:25.520 and you play the Purple Team on the twenty eight, 2012 01:52:25.600 --> 01:52:28.439 then that wraps up that week. So basically what you 2013 01:52:28.680 --> 01:52:33.119 have here in the month of May, you're in the middle, 2014 01:52:33.520 --> 01:52:36.680 You're in the middle of a three match week. Then 2015 01:52:36.760 --> 01:52:43.920 you have nothing going on until your Sunday Night soccer 2016 01:52:44.199 --> 01:52:49.000 on the twenty fifth, and then you go Sunday Wednesday 2017 01:52:49.399 --> 01:52:56.600 Saturday taking on Red Bullet Red Bull Arena. So three 2018 01:52:56.720 --> 01:53:00.439 match week, nothing in a seven day period, then three 2019 01:53:00.520 --> 01:53:05.199 match week, three matches in eight nothing, three matches in 2020 01:53:05.319 --> 01:53:09.840 seven So because of all of the things going on, 2021 01:53:10.000 --> 01:53:12.399 you're going to have to You're gonna have to manage 2022 01:53:12.439 --> 01:53:13.920 your roster, and you're going to have to figure out 2023 01:53:13.960 --> 01:53:17.800 minutes here, minutes there, all of those things stylistically going 2024 01:53:17.920 --> 01:53:21.079 up against different opponents, what it's going to look like. 2025 01:53:21.800 --> 01:53:23.479 So this is going to be one of the the 2026 01:53:23.640 --> 01:53:28.600 added challenges for the coaching staff having to deal with 2027 01:53:28.800 --> 01:53:32.279 once again, three matches in a week, three different styles, 2028 01:53:33.239 --> 01:53:35.920 and then you end up with, you know, two that 2029 01:53:36.000 --> 01:53:38.800 are fairly wide open twenty fifth and twenty eighth, Cincinnati 2030 01:53:38.840 --> 01:53:40.039 and the Purple Team, and then you know what you're 2031 01:53:40.039 --> 01:53:43.399 going to get from Red Bulls, whom you've you know, 2032 01:53:43.720 --> 01:53:46.880 managed fairly well earlier this year, and that gets you 2033 01:53:46.960 --> 01:53:51.560 through the month of May. But like I said, five 2034 01:53:51.680 --> 01:53:53.479 matches left in the month of May, you can make 2035 01:53:53.560 --> 01:53:56.960 some you can make some hay here and you'll see 2036 01:53:57.000 --> 01:53:58.880 what happens. So that will be the storyline here in 2037 01:53:58.920 --> 01:54:02.479 the month of May. Five to go to work your 2038 01:54:02.520 --> 01:54:06.920 way into a playoff position, playoff discussion, whatever however you 2039 01:54:07.000 --> 01:54:08.680 want to break it down.

All Hill All is still in touch 2068 01:55:37.960 --> 01:55:41.199 with the Bruno Fernandesh camp new meeting this week, given 2069 01:55:41.199 --> 01:55:43.279 a week to a final answer. Due to the urgency 2070 01:55:43.319 --> 01:55:45.560 of Helal lining up signings ahead of the Club World Cup. 2071 01:55:46.159 --> 01:55:49.960 Manchester United's position remains that Fernandesh is not for sale. 2072 01:55:50.439 --> 01:55:53.319 Captain has given no encouragement to date, told Hillal last 2073 01:55:53.399 --> 01:55:55.520 year he wanted to state United until at least after 2074 01:55:55.600 --> 01:55:58.479 the twenty six World Cup.

And so once again we mentioned 2078 01:56:09.880 --> 01:56:15.920 about Carlo Ancelotti. Brazilian Federation has come out with a statement, 2079 01:56:16.840 --> 01:56:24.640 as has Analdo Rodriguez from the CBF.
