WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:03.640 Maddy questions for Jason that would be six package in 2 00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:06.240 variety before we get into the discussion about it. 3 00:00:06.480 --> 00:00:06.919 The six. 4 00:00:08.919 --> 00:00:10.679 I know we got. We gotta save it for later. 5 00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:11.400 We're filming. 6 00:00:12.480 --> 00:00:14.759 We'll save all that, save it for later, Okay, Mad 7 00:00:15.039 --> 00:00:18.679 questions question would not be part of the six pack. 8 00:00:20.760 --> 00:00:25.000 Okay, question for Jason, not related to six packs. I mean, 9 00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:28.039 let's all, do we want to move it towards Atlanta United? 10 00:00:28.079 --> 00:00:30.519 Are we already moving towards that area? Yes, I get 11 00:00:30.519 --> 00:00:35.280 the thumb stuff. We're doing it. Okay. Looking at n 12 00:00:35.439 --> 00:00:38.399 y C, I think for me, at least, they're a 13 00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:40.439 team that scares me because of if you look at 14 00:00:40.479 --> 00:00:42.840 some of the late goals that they've had, they're very 15 00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:46.320 good at rallying and like finding something like they're just 16 00:00:46.439 --> 00:00:49.359 really good at that. What are some of the things 17 00:00:49.359 --> 00:00:51.280 that scare you about n y C? And what does 18 00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:53.679 Atlanta need to do to come out of this with 19 00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:54.640 three points? 20 00:00:55.280 --> 00:00:59.719 I think NYC is in some ways really similar to 21 00:00:59.799 --> 00:01:03.000 it United in the way that they approach the games 22 00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:05.640 and also in the way that they are not quite 23 00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:08.640 hitting where they want to be just yet. It's a 24 00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:10.280 team that's not having a whole lot of possession at 25 00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:13.000 the moment, and they want possession, and I think you 26 00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:16.079 could say the same about Atlanta, although I wonder what 27 00:01:16.439 --> 00:01:20.079 that ideal possession number is for Rodney Daila and the 28 00:01:20.120 --> 00:01:23.560 way that the game has evolved, I wonder at times. 29 00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:26.120 And this is a very frustrating thing. As I'll pull 30 00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:30.079 a soapbox back out for a second. It's very frustrating 31 00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:35.359 that stats are different depending on what site you're looking 32 00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:41.400 at in terms of possession and key passes and kind 33 00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:45.719 of basic stuff, depending on if you're looking at the 34 00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:50.319 league site, SOFA score, OPTA. It's all way too different. 35 00:01:50.359 --> 00:01:54.120 It's very frustrating at the moment trying to get a 36 00:01:54.280 --> 00:01:57.560 good feel of teams because the numbers are varying and 37 00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:02.840 that doesn't help. But team are under fifty percent possession 38 00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:07.280 this season according to most places, and that's that's not 39 00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:10.080 where either one wants to be. So who kind of 40 00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:12.120 gets that right, Because somebody's got to have more than 41 00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:14.439 fifty percent of the ball in this game. I believe 42 00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:16.639 that's how it works with one hundred percent on offer. 43 00:02:17.199 --> 00:02:19.560 So who gets it and do they get it in 44 00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:22.520 the right places that they want to have the ball? 45 00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:27.719 Both teams are capable, they just haven't quite found it yet. 46 00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:31.080 Both teams have great strikers that can ruin your day. 47 00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:34.560 In Latte, lot In Alonzo Martinez Martinez scored a goal, 48 00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:38.680 had two assists in Costa Rica, just obliterating Believes to 49 00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:41.400 qualify for the Gold Cup, so he wasn't really tested. 50 00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:44.759 He played one hundred and thirty five minutes. I'm I 51 00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:48.520 think on the Atlanta side, what I want to see, 52 00:02:48.719 --> 00:02:52.159 and I think it affects how you you limit NYC 53 00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:56.719 a little bit, is I want to see Lenin especially 54 00:02:57.000 --> 00:02:59.919 involved on a regular basis high up the field on 55 00:02:59.919 --> 00:03:03.080 the right. I think that starts to fix the offensive 56 00:03:03.159 --> 00:03:06.479 rotations a little bit more, whether it's Saba or Miguel 57 00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:10.439 on the right side as the winger coming inside a 58 00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:14.639 little bit to give Lenin space. It's gonna fix them 59 00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:17.280 in more of a location rather than some of the 60 00:03:18.599 --> 00:03:21.199 freewheeling we saw a little bit early on when you 61 00:03:21.240 --> 00:03:23.199 didn't have the fullbacks getting as high. So I think 62 00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:26.520 that just gives more coherence to the way that Atlanta 63 00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:31.080 wants to play. Get Lenin involved, feed him. The other 64 00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:33.319 thing that's a big question mark is Keaton Parks and 65 00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:35.319 how much he's going to be able to play for NYC. 66 00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:38.080 You know, he left the game in the last match 67 00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:41.439 in the first half. He returned to training yesterday according 68 00:03:41.479 --> 00:03:45.159 to Pascal Johnson, And where is he going to be 69 00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:48.360 Because if you don't have him, that idea of NYC 70 00:03:48.520 --> 00:03:51.719 getting more to where they want to be in terms 71 00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:55.199 of possession, it's a lot harder without Keaton Parks. He's 72 00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:58.400 such an important connector for that group. And if he's 73 00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:02.000 not one hundred percent or can only go forty five 74 00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:05.719 or thirty or sixty And honestly, look, Atlanta might be 75 00:04:05.719 --> 00:04:08.319 in the same situation with matteish Klik, who is back 76 00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:11.000 in training, but I can't imagine he's ninety minutes fit 77 00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:15.199 if he's going to get the starting spot. Both of 78 00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:17.079 them are very important in the way that the teams 79 00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:18.720 want to play. Both of them are going to be 80 00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:21.399 limited to some degree that we don't really know yet. 81 00:04:21.560 --> 00:04:24.360 So those two could be the most important players in 82 00:04:24.399 --> 00:04:26.600 each team forgetting the way that they want to play 83 00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:28.759 across and we'll see who's more effective at it. 84 00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:33.560 So we've talked a lot about and we've. 85 00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:36.600 Jerifer Jason go for it. 86 00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:39.879 Is John like on a crazy delay in Central Georgia, 87 00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:40.439 it's very. 88 00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:45.839 Fun, It's very possible. We've talked about with Atlanta there. 89 00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:48.680 How I think it's changed. The narrative. 90 00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:50.480 Arn is changing because of the way they've been playing 91 00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:52.120 in the second half of games. But early in the 92 00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:55.519 season the second half wasn't what you wanted after a 93 00:04:55.560 --> 00:04:58.920 strong first half. And we know that Atlanta comes out 94 00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:02.240 of the gate and can just create fireworks like crazy 95 00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:07.279 off the bat. In looking at NYC, what's that time 96 00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:11.680 of the game where you're kind of being more on 97 00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:13.920 your guard because we know we've had you know, Atlanta's 98 00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:15.600 had teams in the past that were dangerous at the 99 00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:18.800 end of halves. Columbus was infamous for collapsing at the 100 00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:20.439 end of halves a couple of years ago. Even though 101 00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:22.680 they want a trophy, Like, when is that time where 102 00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:25.399 you where New York can kind of try and turn 103 00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:25.959 their screw. 104 00:05:26.759 --> 00:05:29.279 It's so early to tell. I mean, I think, you know, 105 00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:31.240 with two new managers, I think we're getting a sense 106 00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:34.199 of what these things look like over time, and it's 107 00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:36.600 early and last week you kind of have to throw 108 00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:37.600 out to a degree. 109 00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:39.639 I think NYC has had a. 110 00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:42.600 Knack for scoring like goals, so you have to worry 111 00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:45.360 about that a little bit as this team fatigues in Atlanta. 112 00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:48.040 But NYC is going to be a little short handed 113 00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:51.079 as well with injuries. I can't imagine keeping Parks unless 114 00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:53.879 you save him for the last thirty or so. I 115 00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:55.759 can't imagine he's still on the field at that point, 116 00:05:55.800 --> 00:05:58.879 and then they look different. I think it's an interesting 117 00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:04.439 topic in funeral just because of Atlanta's talked about it. 118 00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:08.040 Ronnie Dila has talked about it. We watched the session yesterday, 119 00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:12.199 Mattie and I and it was a lighter physical session 120 00:06:12.199 --> 00:06:15.319 and that was by design. This is something that Dailah 121 00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:18.680 has spoken about. He spoke about it yesterday. Trying to 122 00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:24.240 find that balance between how much work to put in 123 00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:29.439 in terms of the fitness side of things and how 124 00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:33.040 much to keep some fuel in the tank for the 125 00:06:33.079 --> 00:06:37.360 weekend match. And until you get to know the group 126 00:06:37.439 --> 00:06:42.199 you're working with, and that's the players, that's the medical staff, 127 00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:45.519 that's the sports science staff, that's the physical training staff. 128 00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:48.920 Until you all kind of work together a little bit, 129 00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:52.759 you're I don't want to say guessing, because that's gonna 130 00:06:52.920 --> 00:06:54.600 people will run with it and take it in into 131 00:06:54.639 --> 00:06:59.560 a different direction. You're evolving it, and I think Dilah's 132 00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:01.560 talked about a couple of times, and I thought he 133 00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:04.959 was really clear yesterday and saying it he wants the 134 00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:08.480 team to have more energy on the weekend. And maybe 135 00:07:08.519 --> 00:07:11.759 they've gone a little bit harder during the week early 136 00:07:11.839 --> 00:07:13.759 on as you're trying to get ideas across, as you're 137 00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:16.199 trying to get the understanding of the way you want 138 00:07:16.199 --> 00:07:20.839 to play across. So it seems like he's consciously dialing 139 00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:24.079 that back to try to have more energy on the weekend. 140 00:07:25.040 --> 00:07:30.079 Long term, you've basically had a longer preseason in the way, 141 00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:31.600 if you want to think about it, because you're going 142 00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:35.560 to be more physically fit in general, which will help 143 00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:38.160 you later, but it's hurts you a little bit in 144 00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:40.959 the second halves of games. I didn't really see that 145 00:07:41.079 --> 00:07:44.120 issue in Cincinnati too much. So I think it's having 146 00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:48.319 an effect in terms of managing the workload during the 147 00:07:48.360 --> 00:07:51.639 week while not just throwing away a session. And it's 148 00:07:51.639 --> 00:07:54.720 something we talked about in Training Ground Dispatch. There's your plug, 149 00:07:54.759 --> 00:08:00.360 go watch it about how you can still accomplish very 150 00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:04.279 important things while not working as hard physically, And I 151 00:08:04.319 --> 00:08:08.720 think Derek Williams nailed it with the competitive aspects of 152 00:08:08.759 --> 00:08:12.199 the activities that they did that didn't overtax them physically. 153 00:08:12.959 --> 00:08:16.600 So I think they're getting that. I think Atlanta in 154 00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:19.360 terms of those second halves, Jared is getting that right. 155 00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:23.199 The deeper we go into the season and they'll continue 156 00:08:23.240 --> 00:08:25.040 to kind of dial it up and dial it in. 157 00:08:25.079 --> 00:08:26.519 The schedule is gonna get weird and you got to 158 00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:29.480 adjust on the fly anyway. But I think the second 159 00:08:29.480 --> 00:08:32.600 halves are gonna be better. They've been getting better, and 160 00:08:32.639 --> 00:08:34.840 I think they're going to continue to be better if 161 00:08:34.840 --> 00:08:38.679 this team has a little more freshness about them in 162 00:08:38.720 --> 00:08:41.639 that second forty five. And I think Diala's taking actions 163 00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:42.799 to make that happen. 164 00:08:45.679 --> 00:08:49.200 Maddy, for Jason, what else is on your mind? 165 00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:52.320 I do this every time. My Mike has always needed 166 00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:55.240 and I try to talk and it's fine anyway, John. 167 00:08:55.080 --> 00:08:58.240 Is infecting you. I know that this rough. I think 168 00:08:58.360 --> 00:08:59.000 this is rough. 169 00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:03.960 I know from talking about it a little bit earlier 170 00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:06.440 this week and even to like just chatting as well 171 00:09:06.919 --> 00:09:08.919 for me, like when when Ronnie was talking in the 172 00:09:08.960 --> 00:09:11.799 postgame press conference after Cincy, he talked about, you know 173 00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:15.679 the team in those moments where you know Cincinnati is 174 00:09:15.720 --> 00:09:17.879 able to come back and you know, capitalize on a 175 00:09:17.919 --> 00:09:20.120 turnover and Evander's able to find the back of the net. 176 00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:25.200 It's losing shape, losing discipline, losing concentration, and I think 177 00:09:25.200 --> 00:09:26.720 for me it's I agree with you. I think the 178 00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:29.279 second half in the game against Cincinnati was a lot 179 00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:31.240 better than the second half so we've seen earlier. I 180 00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:33.840 think it was more of a complete half. It didn't 181 00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:36.320 feel like twenty minutes they were good and then the 182 00:09:36.360 --> 00:09:38.960 rest was kind of fallen off. I think that they 183 00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:40.840 put in the work for that, and for me, that 184 00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:42.840 was the fight that I saw. That's what I wanted 185 00:09:42.840 --> 00:09:44.960 to see, and I saw it. But for me it 186 00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:48.080 was also too It's not the turn it's not the 187 00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:50.600 free kick that is given up that allows them to 188 00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:53.600 take it. For me, the loss of concentration comes from 189 00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:56.960 that second goal five minutes later. That's where that comes in. 190 00:09:57.039 --> 00:09:59.039 It's because you get in your head almost that free 191 00:09:59.120 --> 00:10:01.919 kick goes in and then and it's okay, we got. 192 00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:02.399 To bounce back. 193 00:10:02.440 --> 00:10:04.799 Everything's frantic now and then you give up a turnover. 194 00:10:04.879 --> 00:10:08.279 And since I was able to capitalize in this match 195 00:10:08.320 --> 00:10:12.399 against NYC, when you look at that, what does Atlanta 196 00:10:12.440 --> 00:10:15.720 need to do? To stay focused and to not lose discipline, 197 00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:18.000 to not lose shape in those moments where you know, 198 00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:20.120 maybe there is a turnover, maybe there is a goal, 199 00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:21.919 and y s he's able to put one in, Like, 200 00:10:22.039 --> 00:10:26.559 how can Atlanta overcome that hump and keep things level 201 00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:28.759 and keep playing the game that they're going to play. 202 00:10:29.799 --> 00:10:34.879 The way they could overcome not losing any kind of focus, 203 00:10:35.159 --> 00:10:39.240 not losing any kind of shape, not losing any kind 204 00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:42.679 of mental fatigue. The way they would overcome that is 205 00:10:42.759 --> 00:10:45.000 to become a robot, which is not going to happen 206 00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:48.759 between now and then. It's not physically possible. I don't 207 00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:51.360 think give it time. Probably it will by some point. 208 00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:55.440 They're humans, And I think this is something that you 209 00:10:55.519 --> 00:10:59.000 know when when I see people have this conversation, it's just, oh, 210 00:10:59.120 --> 00:11:03.440 they should focus better. Well, let me ask everybody out 211 00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:08.519 there listening. Are you one hundred percent locked in, focused, 212 00:11:08.679 --> 00:11:13.200 never distracted when you're at work? Never, never, never you 213 00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:17.960 glance at something else? Never, never, never you doom, scroll 214 00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:22.279 never never never always locked in on that. 215 00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:25.799 Spreadsheet You're not now here's what you have to do. 216 00:11:25.919 --> 00:11:27.480 And I thought Derek Williams nailed. 217 00:11:27.279 --> 00:11:30.879 It yesterday when he talked about this. In those moments 218 00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:37.559 which are human. You're tired, you're maybe frustrated, you're maybe overwhelmed, 219 00:11:38.399 --> 00:11:42.799 you're physically feeling it. In those moments where you feel it, 220 00:11:42.879 --> 00:11:45.320 and players do and coaches do. And that's why you 221 00:11:45.399 --> 00:11:47.720 went to a line of five last week. Ronnie was 222 00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:50.080 dead on. The game was getting away from you a 223 00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:52.440 little bit before the first foul that led to the 224 00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:54.039 free kick. You tried to change it. 225 00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:54.559 You couldn't. 226 00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:59.559 All right, when you start to feel that slip, which 227 00:11:59.600 --> 00:12:04.240 is just to happen. Derek talked about it with Charlotte 228 00:12:04.279 --> 00:12:06.919 as an example, and they do a really good job 229 00:12:06.960 --> 00:12:10.240 of it because look, they're not super expansive to begin with, 230 00:12:10.440 --> 00:12:13.080 so it's an easy transition for them. You start to feel, man, 231 00:12:13.159 --> 00:12:14.960 the game's getting away, we're tired, where we're hurting a 232 00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:15.279 little bit. 233 00:12:15.320 --> 00:12:17.600 What do we do? Play it? 234 00:12:17.639 --> 00:12:17.840 Long? 235 00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:20.679 Bomb it, get the ball out of your your half. 236 00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:24.519 Just keep it simple, write it out until you can 237 00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:27.879 create some positive momentum going the other way, until you 238 00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:32.240 can regain your wits about you, whatever it is, find that. 239 00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:37.120 And I think this team is good enough defensively, especially 240 00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:42.360 in normal situations, to concede that a little bit to 241 00:12:42.440 --> 00:12:45.879 concede that possession a little bit, just relieve the pressure, 242 00:12:46.679 --> 00:12:50.799 and you are are striving for something in the way 243 00:12:50.840 --> 00:12:55.200 that this team plays that is very top top, very 244 00:12:55.320 --> 00:12:57.720 high up here, and it's a great vision to have 245 00:12:57.919 --> 00:13:02.320 and it's a great goal to have. It's impossible to 246 00:13:02.440 --> 00:13:05.799 be there for ninety minutes every single game. 247 00:13:06.600 --> 00:13:07.279 You just can't. 248 00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:10.559 So in those moments where it's getting away from you, 249 00:13:10.840 --> 00:13:13.879 and it's never easy to flip a switch and change 250 00:13:13.919 --> 00:13:15.399 who you are and change the way that you want 251 00:13:15.440 --> 00:13:18.200 to be. But you need to find a way to 252 00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:21.279 do it more in these moments where it might be 253 00:13:21.559 --> 00:13:25.039 the sixty fifth minute before or after you make subs, 254 00:13:25.240 --> 00:13:26.879 and might be after you make subs and guys are 255 00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:29.879 coming in and it's all discombobulated because you brought in 256 00:13:29.960 --> 00:13:32.399 fresh legs here and they're running around like crazy, and 257 00:13:32.480 --> 00:13:34.480 then you know Mirian Chuket is tired and he's trying 258 00:13:34.480 --> 00:13:36.399 to catch his breath and he just wants to hold 259 00:13:36.440 --> 00:13:40.080 the ball a little bit, keep it like you need 260 00:13:40.240 --> 00:13:44.159 to be able to have something to where it's we 261 00:13:44.279 --> 00:13:48.240 need a little bit of time here, bombit long. Let 262 00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:52.120 them try to build up the play and defend. And 263 00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:56.000 this team's good enough in defending to do that. Defending 264 00:13:56.080 --> 00:13:59.039 in normal situations. Don't give up turnovers in your own third, 265 00:13:59.480 --> 00:14:02.159 don't give up you know, bad turnovers in the middle third. 266 00:14:02.480 --> 00:14:05.600 Don't give up dangerous free kicks. Don't have those transition 267 00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:08.559 moments hurt you when you're set to defend. This team's good, 268 00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:12.960 so lean to that. And in the moments where you 269 00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:18.799 feel the game getting away from you and the focus, focus, intensity, momentum. 270 00:14:19.159 --> 00:14:21.639 I mean, we can hit the thisaurus all day on it. 271 00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:27.240 When those things get away from you, concede possession, get 272 00:14:27.399 --> 00:14:31.080 organized and defend and ride it out. And I think 273 00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:34.039 if this team can find that, they're gonna be just fine. 274 00:14:34.360 --> 00:14:35.960 I think they're gonna have more energy as they go. 275 00:14:36.120 --> 00:14:38.440 I think all the little tweaks are working. The team 276 00:14:38.559 --> 00:14:42.000 is getting better as you go. They should have more 277 00:14:42.039 --> 00:14:45.399 than they do. Welcome to soccer. It sucks sometimes, so 278 00:14:45.879 --> 00:14:48.639 you have to figure out how to ride out those 279 00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:50.120 moments where you're getting punished. 280 00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:50.960 And to me, that's it. 281 00:14:51.279 --> 00:14:54.679 And I think if if Derek's feeling that that, you 282 00:14:54.759 --> 00:14:56.200 know what we can do that we can sit back 283 00:14:56.240 --> 00:14:59.919 and defend between him and Steun, the full backs drop 284 00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:03.080 and to defend the two central midfielders in front. You 285 00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:05.879 can defend pretty deep, you can be smart. You're never 286 00:15:06.000 --> 00:15:07.759 going to be a defense first team, but you can 287 00:15:07.879 --> 00:15:09.279 be for five or ten minutes at a time. 288 00:15:10.679 --> 00:15:12.279 That's what you need to do. That's how you deal 289 00:15:12.320 --> 00:15:13.840 with it, because you're not going to become a robot. 290 00:15:13.879 --> 00:15:19.440 Tomorrow broadcast plans for Atlanta nighted on the weekend, taking 291 00:15:19.480 --> 00:15:24.399 on NYC six thirty for pregame coverage starting on ninety 292 00:15:24.399 --> 00:15:27.399 two nine the game and the Odyssey app ape Gordon 293 00:15:27.480 --> 00:15:29.200 Madison Cruz on that. 294 00:15:29.720 --> 00:15:32.600 Then we'll have garth agerway in the booth a little 295 00:15:32.639 --> 00:15:34.879 bit before seven o'clock. Mike Conty and I will jump 296 00:15:34.960 --> 00:15:37.159 in for that. Then we'll jump back out. Abe and 297 00:15:37.200 --> 00:15:39.799 Maddy will finish pregame. Then we'll jump back in right 298 00:15:39.879 --> 00:15:43.960 before seven thirty seven forty is your kickoff time. And 299 00:15:44.320 --> 00:15:47.720 I believe possibly Jarrett Smith will be doing postgame with 300 00:15:47.799 --> 00:15:50.799 Abe Gordon. If Jarrett Smith has not turned into a 301 00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:51.840 robot as of yet. 302 00:15:53.600 --> 00:15:55.399 The odds are the odds are ever in your favor, 303 00:15:56.200 --> 00:15:57.039 The odds are good. 304 00:15:57.200 --> 00:16:00.960 If not, then Maddie will have to do postgame, somebody will, 305 00:16:01.320 --> 00:16:02.600 and we'll go from there. 306 00:16:02.639 --> 00:16:05.600 Abe will just probably be yelling at both of yous. 307 00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:10.200 Abe is basically eternally on a mechanical bowl and we've 308 00:16:10.320 --> 00:16:11.480 taped his hand. 309 00:16:11.399 --> 00:16:14.399 To the bull. He might be a robot, he might 310 00:16:14.480 --> 00:16:14.919 be the one. 311 00:16:16.440 --> 00:16:19.000 We've taped him to the mechanical bull so that even 312 00:16:19.039 --> 00:16:21.120 if he gets bucked off, he's still gonna hang on 313 00:16:21.720 --> 00:16:23.600 and it's honestly gonna be worse for him if he 314 00:16:23.679 --> 00:16:25.159 can't hang on, if he does. 315 00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:30.559 Lose his balance. It's true. It's true. 316 00:16:31.320 --> 00:16:37.559 Check out on our social media platforms Instagram and I 317 00:16:37.759 --> 00:16:40.559 believe it made it to threads as well, and it's 318 00:16:40.600 --> 00:16:44.200 on our YouTube channel. Clip from Rhys James of Chelsea 319 00:16:44.639 --> 00:16:46.440 pretty much laying down the gauntlet that they want to 320 00:16:46.480 --> 00:16:47.360 win the Club World Cup. 321 00:16:47.720 --> 00:16:50.399 So pretty cool. That's out there. 322 00:16:50.600 --> 00:16:54.200 Articles also at Soccer down here dot net training ground 323 00:16:54.240 --> 00:16:58.519 dispatches out from yesterday.

They hate each other 331 00:17:25.519 --> 00:17:27.720 if they're playing Tiddley Wings let alone soccer. 332 00:17:29.079 --> 00:17:31.720 Yes, the kids don't understand. 333 00:17:32.279 --> 00:17:35.880 They don't know what it's like.
