WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:00.920
<v Speaker 1>Just catching up.

2
00:00:00.960 --> 00:00:03.399
<v Speaker 2>Like, I know you've been dealing with any issue a

3
00:00:03.439 --> 00:00:04.280
<v Speaker 2>lot of the season.

4
00:00:04.679 --> 00:00:06.240
<v Speaker 1>How is it feeling at this point.

5
00:00:07.000 --> 00:00:10.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, this season was a little bit tough because, like

6
00:00:10.919 --> 00:00:15.119
<v Speaker 3>you said, I deal with a couple of issues.

7
00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:18.600
<v Speaker 4>But at this time I feel good.

8
00:00:18.879 --> 00:00:23.000
<v Speaker 3>I feel good, I feel better, and I think every

9
00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:28.640
<v Speaker 3>little injury or every little issue, why now behind me.

10
00:00:29.239 --> 00:00:33.759
<v Speaker 3>So I'm happy to just being with the team and

11
00:00:34.520 --> 00:00:37.039
<v Speaker 3>my teammates and also feel health.

12
00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:41.240
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, something that's really jumped out to me in

13
00:00:41.240 --> 00:00:44.679
<v Speaker 2>this playoff run is how many different.

14
00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:46.159
<v Speaker 1>Players have played a roles.

15
00:00:47.079 --> 00:00:49.799
<v Speaker 2>How hard is it at times when you're not always

16
00:00:49.799 --> 00:00:52.320
<v Speaker 2>starting to then be able to come in off the

17
00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:54.200
<v Speaker 2>bench and you have a good performance.

18
00:00:55.399 --> 00:00:59.640
<v Speaker 3>That's why we got maybe twenty four to twenty five

19
00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:04.640
<v Speaker 3>players UH in in UH our locker room. So every

20
00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:08.840
<v Speaker 3>every single guys matter for for us. So you just

21
00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:12.319
<v Speaker 3>have to have to be ready when the opportunitives and

22
00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:16.200
<v Speaker 3>it comes to you and and try to help the team,

23
00:01:16.239 --> 00:01:22.799
<v Speaker 3>to help your teamate and do the job. Of course,

24
00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:27.319
<v Speaker 3>everyone wanna want to start. I wanna be involved as much,

25
00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:33.480
<v Speaker 3>but the coach make his choice and we gotta respect

26
00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:37.040
<v Speaker 3>that and be ready at any moments. So I think

27
00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:43.040
<v Speaker 3>like we like we did on the first one, every

28
00:01:43.079 --> 00:01:49.519
<v Speaker 3>guys on the on the team impacted the play.

29
00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:52.879
<v Speaker 4>So we we we go a lot.

30
00:01:52.760 --> 00:01:59.719
<v Speaker 3>Of good player on our roster and everyone matters.

31
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:03.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it feels like in your position, especially the team

32
00:02:03.519 --> 00:02:07.280
<v Speaker 2>has four starters essentially with you and Dax and bart

33
00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:10.639
<v Speaker 2>Os and j and you guys are all different. How

34
00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:13.199
<v Speaker 2>do the four of you guys pushing each other trying

35
00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:13.680
<v Speaker 2>to play more?

36
00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:14.639
<v Speaker 1>How do you guys get along?

37
00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:17.719
<v Speaker 4>Sometimes we we we give we.

38
00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:21.680
<v Speaker 3>Give advice to to to someone else and we we

39
00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:25.919
<v Speaker 3>compete in the right way. On the training session, we compete.

40
00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:30.360
<v Speaker 3>Everyone everyone of us got a good relationships. So if

41
00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:33.879
<v Speaker 3>we if we got to push each other to be better,

42
00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:38.719
<v Speaker 3>we will do it. And the the.

43
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:40.360
<v Speaker 4>The only only one only purpose.

44
00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:44.360
<v Speaker 3>It's to help the team to to to win win, win,

45
00:02:44.599 --> 00:02:49.000
<v Speaker 3>And this is the only only the things will matter.

46
00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:53.759
<v Speaker 3>So no matter who's gonna start, if it's gonna be Jay,

47
00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:59.080
<v Speaker 3>but that's on me, I know, on the person the guy,

48
00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:02.800
<v Speaker 3>the guy's gonna do the jumps. So yeah, but the competition,

49
00:03:03.240 --> 00:03:06.719
<v Speaker 3>the competitive activity is good. We got like I said,

50
00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:09.280
<v Speaker 3>we got good relationship between us.

51
00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:12.520
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, it feels like those relationships with this team

52
00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:15.560
<v Speaker 2>have really gotten strong as the year has gone on.

53
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:18.039
<v Speaker 2>You guys fight for one another, You've got each other back.

54
00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:22.000
<v Speaker 2>Is that just something that comes with time and comes

55
00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:23.919
<v Speaker 2>with the moments that you guys are dealing with.

56
00:03:24.479 --> 00:03:33.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, because, uh, this season was difficult because we fight,

57
00:03:33.439 --> 00:03:37.319
<v Speaker 3>We fought for to be on the on the playoffs,

58
00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:43.680
<v Speaker 3>we we play. Playing against against Montreal was a tough moment.

59
00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:48.560
<v Speaker 3>And also the game against Orlando when we beat them.

60
00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:54.280
<v Speaker 3>I think this kind of this kind of games and

61
00:03:54.719 --> 00:04:00.199
<v Speaker 3>create some some memories and build some stronger relationship. And

62
00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:06.039
<v Speaker 3>but there I think the relationships between some guys came

63
00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:09.360
<v Speaker 3>a little bit played because we this season, we go

64
00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:14.639
<v Speaker 3>your players, so Ba take it's just his first season

65
00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:20.079
<v Speaker 3>with us. Duk's also channelso so sometimes we need time.

66
00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:26.199
<v Speaker 3>We need time to to adapt, to to knowledge your

67
00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:33.160
<v Speaker 3>your your teammates and and create a good feeling, good relationships.

68
00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:37.000
<v Speaker 3>Sometimes he may, he may he made time. But I

69
00:04:37.040 --> 00:04:40.800
<v Speaker 3>think at this time we are in in a good

70
00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:43.120
<v Speaker 3>position and we are where we want to be.

71
00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:46.199
<v Speaker 1>And yeah, I interviewed.

72
00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:49.920
<v Speaker 2>Rob yesterday and talked about how since the Montreal lost

73
00:04:49.959 --> 00:04:53.439
<v Speaker 2>at home, the team's for one and one one of

74
00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:56.480
<v Speaker 2>the best runs of any team in the league this season.

75
00:04:57.199 --> 00:04:59.560
<v Speaker 2>Is there anything that that you think about other than

76
00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:03.839
<v Speaker 2>just you're in a must win situation that maybe changed

77
00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:07.040
<v Speaker 2>after that Wednesday game against Montreal to the way the

78
00:05:07.079 --> 00:05:08.600
<v Speaker 2>team started playing after.

79
00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:13.319
<v Speaker 4>For for us, No, I'm not.

80
00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:17.480
<v Speaker 3>I'm not gonna say something really changed because for us,

81
00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:20.319
<v Speaker 3>see it was always the same.

82
00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:22.600
<v Speaker 4>Just just try.

83
00:05:22.399 --> 00:05:26.480
<v Speaker 3>To win the game, win the next game, leave the

84
00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:31.759
<v Speaker 3>on the present moment and uh and do the the

85
00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:34.160
<v Speaker 3>best thing we can we we we can do. After

86
00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:39.120
<v Speaker 3>that ef we have we know, noise outside of the

87
00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:40.199
<v Speaker 3>of the old.

88
00:05:40.040 --> 00:05:41.680
<v Speaker 4>Groups, no, no matter.

89
00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:45.279
<v Speaker 3>For for us, the important thing is to to stay

90
00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:50.279
<v Speaker 3>together and fight for what we can control. So yeah,

91
00:05:51.319 --> 00:05:54.040
<v Speaker 3>now it's when what we can contrave is to to

92
00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:58.560
<v Speaker 3>train and prepare for the next game properly. And I

93
00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:03.040
<v Speaker 3>think this is what we were doing well. So I'm

94
00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:06.800
<v Speaker 3>I'm really confidence for the for the next jamp.

95
00:06:07.279 --> 00:06:09.519
<v Speaker 2>One other thing that kind of watching the team from

96
00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:13.600
<v Speaker 2>Afar and seeing how beginning of the season you guys

97
00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:16.480
<v Speaker 2>wanted the ball, wanted to dominate possession. It was very

98
00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:19.959
<v Speaker 2>focused on that, and now the team is very comfortable

99
00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:23.399
<v Speaker 2>without it and defending solidly. How does that change somebody

100
00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:25.959
<v Speaker 2>like you and your role and how you have to adapt.

101
00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:28.920
<v Speaker 4>You have to.

102
00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:32.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's a good question because me, I'm a kind

103
00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:35.959
<v Speaker 3>of player who like to get the ball and play, play,

104
00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:42.560
<v Speaker 3>build the situation from the back, or play with the midfielder.

105
00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:46.839
<v Speaker 3>And but you just have to to adapt. I think

106
00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:51.480
<v Speaker 3>we we we we made a couple of mistakes this

107
00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:54.160
<v Speaker 3>season with the ball, so we try to be more

108
00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:59.279
<v Speaker 3>pragmatic and play more directly. And for me, it's not

109
00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:03.920
<v Speaker 3>really a prop them because I already play. I already

110
00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:08.439
<v Speaker 3>play like that. So so you you just have to

111
00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:13.600
<v Speaker 3>adapt on your on your teammate, on on what the

112
00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:19.279
<v Speaker 3>coaching staff ask ask to and yeah, but yeah it's different.

113
00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:25.439
<v Speaker 3>If I if I can compare between the the beginning

114
00:07:25.519 --> 00:07:28.560
<v Speaker 3>of the season and right now, how how we we play,

115
00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:32.079
<v Speaker 3>how we how is our game plan? Yeah, it's a

116
00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:35.199
<v Speaker 3>little bit different. But for me still still the same

117
00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:38.360
<v Speaker 3>because I love fighting. I love may make a tackle

118
00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:41.399
<v Speaker 3>fight with with my opponents.

119
00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:42.279
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

120
00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:43.720
<v Speaker 1>I love that you said pragmatic.

121
00:07:44.439 --> 00:07:48.759
<v Speaker 2>In in English and especially maybe from England, pragmatic has

122
00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:52.439
<v Speaker 2>become like a negative word and it's to be defensive.

123
00:07:53.240 --> 00:07:56.399
<v Speaker 2>I don't think this seems defensive. It's it's interesting, like

124
00:07:57.199 --> 00:07:58.920
<v Speaker 2>less possession, but not defensive.

125
00:07:59.040 --> 00:08:01.120
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, less position.

126
00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:05.759
<v Speaker 3>Like I say, is I don't know how in here

127
00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:11.120
<v Speaker 3>you you the world pragmatic one of the means, But

128
00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:13.920
<v Speaker 3>for me, pragmative is just okay, you don't need to

129
00:08:14.759 --> 00:08:18.360
<v Speaker 3>do I don't know, maybe fifteen or ten, ten passes

130
00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:24.439
<v Speaker 3>to go to trying to read the opponent. If you can,

131
00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:26.759
<v Speaker 3>if you can do it in two or three passes,

132
00:08:27.079 --> 00:08:30.120
<v Speaker 3>we will do it. But we're also able to play

133
00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:36.039
<v Speaker 3>and build with a couple passes, ten passes. I remember

134
00:08:36.080 --> 00:08:38.720
<v Speaker 3>the goal, the first goal or yeah, the first goal

135
00:08:38.720 --> 00:08:45.120
<v Speaker 3>against Montreal. We made a great pre creation, great combination

136
00:08:45.399 --> 00:08:49.159
<v Speaker 3>with I don't know, maybe fifteen fifteen passes, and after

137
00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:52.399
<v Speaker 3>that we score. So sometimes it's just finding the good,

138
00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:57.519
<v Speaker 3>the good balance between between build, keeping the ball, keeping

139
00:08:57.519 --> 00:09:01.120
<v Speaker 3>the position, or just goes to it straight straight ahead

140
00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:06.200
<v Speaker 3>to the to the goal. But it's still always the same.

141
00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:09.759
<v Speaker 3>The purpose doesn't change. The purpose is to earth the

142
00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:12.559
<v Speaker 3>opponent and try to score. So yeah, if if you

143
00:09:12.759 --> 00:09:16.080
<v Speaker 3>if we can do it in one one way or

144
00:09:16.200 --> 00:09:17.279
<v Speaker 3>other way, we will do it.

145
00:09:17.879 --> 00:09:19.600
<v Speaker 2>I know it's kind of early in the week getting

146
00:09:19.639 --> 00:09:22.840
<v Speaker 2>ready for Orlando. You've seen them recently on decision day,

147
00:09:23.240 --> 00:09:26.000
<v Speaker 2>the team tad get success against Orlando. When you think

148
00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:29.360
<v Speaker 2>about this game on Sunday, is there something that Atlanta

149
00:09:29.440 --> 00:09:32.360
<v Speaker 2>has to do really well to make sure they get

150
00:09:32.360 --> 00:09:32.799
<v Speaker 2>a resolve?

151
00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:36.440
<v Speaker 3>Of course, I think it's one of the games who

152
00:09:36.679 --> 00:09:39.200
<v Speaker 3>gave us a lot of confidence.

153
00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:39.919
<v Speaker 4>Uh.

154
00:09:40.600 --> 00:09:43.799
<v Speaker 3>And you know, when you play against one team and

155
00:09:43.919 --> 00:09:48.720
<v Speaker 3>you you beat them, it creates some I don't a

156
00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:53.080
<v Speaker 3>little bit of a monthly advantage, you know. And I

157
00:09:53.120 --> 00:09:58.320
<v Speaker 3>think we we gotta we gotta take some some some

158
00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:02.720
<v Speaker 3>things we did on on this game and try to

159
00:10:02.360 --> 00:10:06.679
<v Speaker 3>to build a game plan on on that. But he's

160
00:10:06.799 --> 00:10:09.279
<v Speaker 3>going to be a playoff game.

161
00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:12.120
<v Speaker 4>It's going to be totally different. It's a we know,

162
00:10:12.240 --> 00:10:12.799
<v Speaker 4>go home.

163
00:10:12.720 --> 00:10:18.919
<v Speaker 3>So so so I think the preparation mentally is going

164
00:10:19.000 --> 00:10:20.320
<v Speaker 3>to be a little bit different.

165
00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:22.360
<v Speaker 4>But of course we we will.

166
00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:25.919
<v Speaker 3>We will try to keep the right things we did

167
00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:30.559
<v Speaker 3>against them on the regular season, and yeah, we will.

168
00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:33.600
<v Speaker 4>We will help on that.

169
00:10:34.399 --> 00:10:36.960
<v Speaker 1>Feels like the team doesn't want to go home yet. No, No,

170
00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:38.960
<v Speaker 1>I love the fight in the scrip rights been a

171
00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:39.279
<v Speaker 1>lot of.

172
00:10:40.240 --> 00:10:42.279
<v Speaker 4>We still want more.

173
00:10:42.399 --> 00:10:46.679
<v Speaker 3>We're still getting angry and we don't want we don't

174
00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:49.960
<v Speaker 3>want to to send back to phase retainments.

175
00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:53.519
<v Speaker 4>We love him, we we we we love him as

176
00:10:53.519 --> 00:10:54.440
<v Speaker 4>a teammate.

177
00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:56.840
<v Speaker 3>As a as a leader on the on the team,

178
00:10:56.919 --> 00:11:02.080
<v Speaker 3>and I think we need him uh again again. So

179
00:11:02.320 --> 00:11:07.440
<v Speaker 3>maybe after the end of the season we'll see that

180
00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:08.399
<v Speaker 3>now we need

181
00:11:10.200 --> 00:11:13.759
<v Speaker 1>Excellent h.
