Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's getting ready for practice in conditions that are
Speaker 2: suboptimal for human beings. And so yeah, and so I'm waiting,
Speaker 2: So Maddie are you prepped?
Speaker 3: Are are you?
Speaker 2: Are you locked in? Okay, so just checking. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: bring Maddie in. So, uh, Maddie's ready for practice. Hello, Hello,
Speaker 2: there we go. Now there it is. Yes, there it
Speaker 2: is full, full, full, full picture.
Speaker 4: Well nothing the sun because if I put it in
Speaker 4: the sun last time and overheat it. So I'm keeping
Speaker 4: it like right on the vent. So we're hoping that
Speaker 4: the States.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Uh, just wanted to check in with you as you
Speaker 2: get ready for practice at the Children's Self Care of
Speaker 2: Atlanta training ground, getting ready for Atlanta United and Nikoxa
Speaker 2: tomorrow in a League's Cup. I think we have to
Speaker 2: say it with that kind of emphasis, Kasa. You know,
Speaker 2: just one of those kinds of things where you sit
Speaker 2: there and you wake everybody up. Oh, there she goes,
Speaker 2: and she turns.
Speaker 4: It looking it the other way. That's fine.
Speaker 2: It's a steering wheel. You're in a car at a
Speaker 2: practice facility. Does it really matter?
Speaker 4: Let mean, you're in a car. No, yeah, it doesn't matter. Yeah,
Speaker 4: And the Coxa.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: Probably the biggest news involving Atlanta United yesterday was, yes,
Speaker 2: hydration is important, Uh, the release of Luisa Brohm, which
Speaker 2: gives at Landy United some cap mobility when it comes
Speaker 2: to the remainder of this season. You have to keep
Speaker 2: an eye out on the better call transaction is that
Speaker 2: where this is is this uh one for one where
Speaker 2: it comes to the money and how much is left
Speaker 2: over all the things. But yeah, the biggest news yesterday
Speaker 2: Luisa bram on his way out and being waved by
Speaker 2: Land United.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean Chris Henderson has talked about it in
Speaker 4: the media a littiblity did for us last week and
Speaker 4: even you know on ninety nine with Mike and Jason,
Speaker 4: you know, they want to make moves in this sin
Speaker 4: this transfer window, they want to make some big moves
Speaker 4: and also not even this window, but also even looking
Speaker 4: ahead to the window at the end of the season
Speaker 4: as well. You know, So this is probably one of
Speaker 4: those steps to try to clear up some space to
Speaker 4: possibly bring in somebody. But it's just one of those
Speaker 4: things where it's the unfortunate part of this. I wish
Speaker 4: louis a whole bunch of luck wherever he goes next
Speaker 4: to them. He's a very very talented center back. Any
Speaker 4: team would be lucky to have him. Very calm, very composed.
Speaker 4: But it's a part of what Chris Henderson has talked
Speaker 4: about is that they want to clear up space to
Speaker 4: make room for some transfers and to make some moves
Speaker 4: here in this window.
Speaker 2: Now that you've had an extra day to ingest what
Speaker 2: happened with Atlanta and Seattle, what sticks out in your
Speaker 2: mind from this As Atlanta United gets a bit of
Speaker 2: a break from MLS play, the three game homestand is
Speaker 2: over and you're getting ready for Leagues Cup, what still
Speaker 2: sticks in your brain from what we saw on the weekend.
Speaker 4: I think for me, it's just, you know, I think
Speaker 4: it's cleaning up just some small mistakes. It felt like
Speaker 4: a lot of the two that were conceded felt very avoidable,
Speaker 4: and it's just cleaning up those small things defensively. But
Speaker 4: I think you had a really solid first half. I
Speaker 4: think you had a really good first staff like we
Speaker 4: saw as well against Charlotte too, you had two really
Speaker 4: solid first halts. It's just keeping that consistency all the
Speaker 4: way through the second half as well, and it's trying
Speaker 4: to find a way to be switched on in that sense.
Speaker 4: I thought Alexi Madanchu had a phenomenal performance. I thought
Speaker 4: he played very very well, and I want to give
Speaker 4: him his flowers because he did very very good. I know,
Speaker 4: not just talking about the wonder goal that happened at
Speaker 4: the end. He played very very good against Seattle. He
Speaker 4: played very well against Charlotte too. Alexei Mananchuk played very
Speaker 4: very well. It was really cool to get to seem
Speaker 4: and amme high as well check into the maps for
Speaker 4: a little bit as well. I really loved seeing the
Speaker 4: way that he came in immediately and was commanding, and
Speaker 4: he was moving pieces around, getting things going. He was
Speaker 4: being a voice out there, and I think that's really important,
Speaker 4: and it's very cool to go ahead and see you
Speaker 4: take that stand and be like hey, because that's what
Speaker 4: Ronnie Dallas said. He's a leader. He's gonna be someone
Speaker 4: who's gonna come in and help be a voice in
Speaker 4: the back, to be another voice out there. And I
Speaker 4: think that's really important when you have those players who
Speaker 4: can be those voices at all areas on the field.
Speaker 4: You have Miguel wearing the arm band up talk, you
Speaker 4: have sleish in the middle kind of directing some things around,
Speaker 4: being that voice there. If you get me high as well.
Speaker 4: I think Derek has also been a voice back there
Speaker 4: as well, but I think you get me high as well,
Speaker 4: coming in and being another voice out there, then you
Speaker 4: get Brad in the back right there in between the
Speaker 4: posts directing things around as well. You're getting some really
Speaker 4: solid leadership voices in these moments, and I think that's
Speaker 4: important as well. But for me, it's just consistency and
Speaker 4: it's cleaning up those small mistakes as well. And before
Speaker 4: I get off my rant as well, I think Ronald
Speaker 4: Hernandez has also been very very outstanding. I mean the
Speaker 4: past that led to the first goal for brilliant, absolutely brilliant. Yeah,
Speaker 4: but I had to give Ronald his flowers as well
Speaker 4: because he has been very very good in the last
Speaker 4: two games as well.
Speaker 2: Okay, so I'll go ahead and let's let's have some
Speaker 2: fun here on a Tuesday morning. Uh well, no, it's
Speaker 2: it's it's it's good fun. It's good fun. Let's see,
Speaker 2: do you remember this.
Speaker 3: Sense up to the back post towards Amroon headed away,
Speaker 3: I knew who bounce out for a throw? They will
Speaker 3: let Atlanta take it. It's thrown into Lennon and gives
Speaker 3: it back to amarn Me and Moron Shuk top of
Speaker 3: the eighteen.
Speaker 1: Shot go so crom Russia with one.
Speaker 3: Atlanta united for the third time in their last four matches,
Speaker 3: steals a point at the death.
Speaker 4: I did not know Mike did. That's off. That's cool. Oh,
Speaker 4: let's go, Mike.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 4: I also love Jason's little doubt.
Speaker 2: This is the thing that we've got to figure out,
Speaker 2: either from from Jake or from Tom Sharrowsky or you
Speaker 2: know whoever's it at the Imitation Palacial Studios at Colony
Speaker 2: Square or in the book. We've got to figure out
Speaker 2: how to isolate that and have that as a drop.
Speaker 4: I'm sure we can. I'm sure there's a way to
Speaker 4: get that who you know, No, I'm sure there's a way.
Speaker 4: If not, then I'll just I'll take a voice recorder
Speaker 4: to like, I'll just like keep it in there and
Speaker 4: then we'll like it. We'll just have Jason when he
Speaker 4: says it, we'll have it.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So to your point, I wanted to go through
Speaker 2: a couple of the numbers. According to our friends at
Speaker 2: Sofa score h Ronald A part of the top end
Speaker 2: for Atlanta United seven point one on the day obviously
Speaker 2: met Unchooke with the goal at a seven point four.
Speaker 2: So your top starters Derek, Ronald and Niggi each with
Speaker 2: seven point ones. Ronald on the afternoon played almost the
Speaker 2: full ninety before Brooks came in late. That was three clearances,
Speaker 2: two picks, two total tackles, one passed four of seven
Speaker 2: on his duel's sixty nine touches forty three of forty nine,
Speaker 2: passing at eighty eight percent, two key passes, including the
Speaker 2: one that led to the first goal, one accurate cross,
Speaker 2: two for six on long balls, had the one shot
Speaker 2: off target. So once again Ronald Hernandez clicking off a
Speaker 2: bunch of different boxes for Atlanta night.
Speaker 4: Yeah. I think one thing that I always talked about,
Speaker 4: even in pregame too, with Ronald, Ronald brings you something
Speaker 4: in the back that is very different than I think
Speaker 4: a lot of people don't really recognize and don't see
Speaker 4: it as a quality that's not important. Ronald brings the
Speaker 4: grit and the heart and yeah, he from talking to
Speaker 4: him so many times, he bleeds for this club. I've
Speaker 4: said it a lot of times, but I mean, you
Speaker 4: can feel it, Like when he talks about the club,
Speaker 4: it radiates like he he will put everything, blood, sweat
Speaker 4: and tears into helping this club succeed. And that's what
Speaker 4: he's done. He's stepped up in those moments. He's been
Speaker 4: a right back, he's been a center back, he's been
Speaker 4: a left back. He will be wherever you need him
Speaker 4: to be and he will help the team. And I
Speaker 4: think him in this right back role, comparing with Miggy
Speaker 4: as well, you have that relationship that blooms outside as well.
Speaker 4: That really does help when you are on the pitch.
Speaker 4: You know each other well, you know what makes each
Speaker 4: other tick. That helps a lot. But I think Ronald
Speaker 4: has brought something that I really love. Like I've always
Speaker 4: talked about him defensively and how really solid he is
Speaker 4: in that. I've loved seeing him offensively. He's had a
Speaker 4: lot of great moments in the last couple of games
Speaker 4: where I've been like, oh, Ronald, like he had oh
Speaker 4: there was like him combining with Miguel and with Alexi too.
Speaker 4: The duo there with Ronald and Alexi has been really
Speaker 4: fun to watch, Like it's like the combination with Luke
Speaker 4: and Moyemba like it's something different you wouldn't have expected too.
Speaker 4: But that connection has been really cool to watch. And
Speaker 4: Ronald has had some really good moments and good passes.
Speaker 4: I'm thinking back to that cutback to Alexi right at
Speaker 4: the top of the box, which I'm like, I didn't think.
Speaker 4: I sat up there and I turned to Caroline and
Speaker 4: I was like, I was like, oh, like I was
Speaker 4: really happy with it. No, but I think Ronald has
Speaker 4: been very good. I think Alexi has been very very good.
Speaker 4: I think Miguel has done a good job as well
Speaker 4: on that right side and that combination there, and I
Speaker 4: think you're seeing the piece click here. I think it's
Speaker 4: about keeping consistency throughout the second half and cleaning up
Speaker 4: those mistakes and being switched on at all times because
Speaker 4: you're going up against Nakasa and I haven't done a
Speaker 4: whole bunch of research on them yet. That's my mission
Speaker 4: for today is doing a lot of research on them
Speaker 4: today as well. But it's a new opponent. It's an
Speaker 4: opponent you've never really seen before. And Lega a Mechi's
Speaker 4: we all know how good those sides are as well,
Speaker 4: so it's a new opponent and it's really gonna be
Speaker 4: interesting to see how United navigates this new challenge heading
Speaker 4: in the League's Cup, because it's not like it was
Speaker 4: last year, where you have maybe an MLS club that
Speaker 4: you know a little bit. It is all lega mechis.
Speaker 4: It's all lega a mechi. So it's really studying getting
Speaker 4: that down. And you know, I f you'l enough the
Speaker 4: energy of what's gonna happen tomorrow, you know it, first
Speaker 4: game of league stuff. It's gonna be fun. I'm excited
Speaker 4: for it. I'm really excited, all.
Speaker 2: Right, So let me skip forwards and sign I've only
