10
00:00:29.239 --> 00:00:32.119
<v Speaker 1>Coming off a home win over Sporting Kansas City that

11
00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:35.200
<v Speaker 1>is so important and for Bruce Murray, yes, indeed, let's

12
00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:37.399
<v Speaker 1>start there. Getting a win at home in front of

13
00:00:37.399 --> 00:00:40.159
<v Speaker 1>the AUDI field supporters so critical.

14
00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:44.000
<v Speaker 2>Oh big factor. And we both know how how much

15
00:00:44.479 --> 00:00:47.799
<v Speaker 2>home wins mean to the staff, to the players, to

16
00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:52.679
<v Speaker 2>the chicos stand. I mean, the players die when they

17
00:00:52.679 --> 00:00:54.560
<v Speaker 2>can't close the game. I can't stand the fact that

18
00:00:54.560 --> 00:00:56.759
<v Speaker 2>they can't close again. And when they do that, I mean,

19
00:00:56.840 --> 00:01:00.200
<v Speaker 2>it's such a relief and the players are so happy

20
00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:03.479
<v Speaker 2>and they really really care about the fans. And we

21
00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:05.400
<v Speaker 2>talked to the players all the time, and it's such

22
00:01:05.480 --> 00:01:07.040
<v Speaker 2>an important thing to get a home win and.

23
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:08.959
<v Speaker 1>Of course, how they were able to do a goalkeeper

24
00:01:09.079 --> 00:01:11.480
<v Speaker 1>Kim June hung the secture of hands.

25
00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:16.319
<v Speaker 3>It'll be a right footage service into the box, sent

26
00:01:16.519 --> 00:01:20.359
<v Speaker 3>in nodding forward there it is for Kim lining in too.

27
00:01:20.680 --> 00:01:27.120
<v Speaker 3>But he makes the stop. He took quite the punch

28
00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:29.280
<v Speaker 3>on that one, and he is down, as is a

29
00:01:29.319 --> 00:01:34.079
<v Speaker 3>Sporting Kansas City player. Body's strewn across the grass here.

30
00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:35.000
<v Speaker 1>Aaron Horre.

31
00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:37.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, he's a great keeper, first of all. I think

32
00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:39.519
<v Speaker 4>he brings a ton of quality in that position, a

33
00:01:39.560 --> 00:01:42.120
<v Speaker 4>ton of security for us. And I mean, as we

34
00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:43.879
<v Speaker 4>all know, keepers aren't all there in the head, so

35
00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:46.760
<v Speaker 4>I think it was it was really a no brainer

36
00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:48.680
<v Speaker 4>for him to come out for that ball and put

37
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:50.760
<v Speaker 4>his body on the line. And yeah, that's the kind

38
00:01:50.760 --> 00:01:52.760
<v Speaker 4>of things that we expect from him and we know

39
00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:55.400
<v Speaker 4>he's capable of. And yeah, I think he's all. Though

40
00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:58.680
<v Speaker 4>the shutouts haven't haven't begun yet, I think it's gonna

41
00:01:58.760 --> 00:02:00.359
<v Speaker 4>I think there's a lot of shoutouts in our future,

42
00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:02.359
<v Speaker 4>and I think he'll be a big reason for that.

43
00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:04.879
<v Speaker 1>How DC and I getting the go ahead going from

44
00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:08.080
<v Speaker 1>Jose Kajima and you know, Bruce, we talked to Jose Kajima.

45
00:02:08.199 --> 00:02:11.000
<v Speaker 1>Just a couple of days before last Saturday's game, you

46
00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:12.280
<v Speaker 1>had a sense it was coming.

47
00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:15.280
<v Speaker 2>Oh you talk about detail oriented. He was on the

48
00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:18.159
<v Speaker 2>in our box making a play and then getting up

49
00:02:18.199 --> 00:02:20.199
<v Speaker 2>the field. But what he did was they had a

50
00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:22.879
<v Speaker 2>soft zone going right, and they had five players in

51
00:02:22.919 --> 00:02:27.280
<v Speaker 2>their own box sporting case. Kajima took a look and

52
00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:30.400
<v Speaker 2>he ran to a spot that he felt would be

53
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:33.360
<v Speaker 2>advantageous for a ball to come in. And sure enough,

54
00:02:33.439 --> 00:02:35.879
<v Speaker 2>Pegload gets his head up and all he has to

55
00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:38.400
<v Speaker 2>do is just lead him in. And Kajima, though, has

56
00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:40.080
<v Speaker 2>a lot to do at that point, right, He's got

57
00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:43.639
<v Speaker 2>to kind of contort his body and kind of flick

58
00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:46.319
<v Speaker 2>it backwards over the goalkeeper. But it's one of the

59
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:47.360
<v Speaker 2>best goals you're.

60
00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:49.520
<v Speaker 1>Going to see all season, all right, now, some more

61
00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:51.759
<v Speaker 1>insight from Troy Lsay on Jose Kajima.

62
00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:54.080
<v Speaker 5>When I when I look at Jose Kajima, just brings

63
00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:55.960
<v Speaker 5>a smile on my face, because every time I come

64
00:02:55.960 --> 00:02:59.120
<v Speaker 5>into the building at six six thirty in the morning,

65
00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:01.120
<v Speaker 5>you know, I try to get here as early as possible.

66
00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:05.000
<v Speaker 5>Inevitably he's already here. He's already here, He's already looking

67
00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:08.080
<v Speaker 5>at his laptop, he's already watching film. I think he

68
00:03:08.199 --> 00:03:11.400
<v Speaker 5>beats virtually everyone into the building, with the exception of

69
00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:16.400
<v Speaker 5>my goalkeeper coach and Mation Shostak, who is the head

70
00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:19.919
<v Speaker 5>of our security. And that's who Jose is. Jose is

71
00:03:19.919 --> 00:03:23.039
<v Speaker 5>a guy that he's not doing it to be noticed

72
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:25.199
<v Speaker 5>by anyone. He's doing it because that's his craft. He

73
00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:27.479
<v Speaker 5>wants to be as professional as possible, and that's part

74
00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:30.719
<v Speaker 5>of his routine, and it's coming from a really genuine place.

75
00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:34.199
<v Speaker 5>And so you know, he studies the game. When he

76
00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:36.680
<v Speaker 5>makes a late run like that, it's because he studied

77
00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:38.800
<v Speaker 5>the game. You know. I don't sit here and try

78
00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:41.000
<v Speaker 5>to take any credit for that. The only credit that

79
00:03:41.039 --> 00:03:43.439
<v Speaker 5>I would want to take is saying that's a player

80
00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:45.240
<v Speaker 5>that we should bring into our club because he's a

81
00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:48.919
<v Speaker 5>player that fits our style. And Ali McKay and Caleb

82
00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:51.479
<v Speaker 5>Shreeve and Amon Dunlavey were right there with me that

83
00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:54.400
<v Speaker 5>everyone wanted to bring him here. And what I've heard

84
00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:57.400
<v Speaker 5>from feedback is that he's just you know, from our fans,

85
00:03:57.439 --> 00:03:59.439
<v Speaker 5>from just so many different people. He's someone that you

86
00:03:59.479 --> 00:04:01.479
<v Speaker 5>can't help but notice, and you can't help but support,

87
00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:05.759
<v Speaker 5>and he energizes you man. He's a multiplayer, not a divider,

88
00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:08.319
<v Speaker 5>and so I'm really really thankful he's with us and

89
00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:10.199
<v Speaker 5>there's more to come for him. There's more to come.

90
00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:14.400
<v Speaker 1>Now and fitting j Peglo makes his debut, he's involved

91
00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:15.919
<v Speaker 1>in that goal. What did you think of him?

92
00:04:16.319 --> 00:04:21.959
<v Speaker 2>Oh, Dave, he is such a good player, consistently has

93
00:04:22.040 --> 00:04:24.800
<v Speaker 2>the ball, runs at people, but then he's got David

94
00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:27.439
<v Speaker 2>Schenk behind him so he can get inside. He can

95
00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:30.959
<v Speaker 2>you know, he can do a ton. Peglo is a

96
00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:33.959
<v Speaker 2>really good player. I mean, we have picked up so

97
00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:36.439
<v Speaker 2>many good players in the offseason and the fans really

98
00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:37.759
<v Speaker 2>don't know about these guys.

99
00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:42.920
<v Speaker 1>Well, and you mentioned David Schnegg again. I explain this

100
00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:47.000
<v Speaker 1>even more because you are just brimming with enthusiasm about

101
00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:51.160
<v Speaker 1>both David Schenek and Aaron Herrera and what they're able

102
00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:53.079
<v Speaker 1>to do to ignite DC United.

103
00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:57.480
<v Speaker 2>There is no pair in the league that gets up

104
00:04:57.560 --> 00:05:00.680
<v Speaker 2>the field like David sneg and Aaron Horrera. It reminds

105
00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:05.000
<v Speaker 2>me of Marcello, the real Madrid fullback, where he just

106
00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:07.519
<v Speaker 2>took control of the left side of the field, and

107
00:05:07.639 --> 00:05:10.560
<v Speaker 2>David Schnegg is that player, and so is Aaron Herrera.

108
00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:13.480
<v Speaker 2>They force our wingers inside, we have overloads in the

109
00:05:13.519 --> 00:05:16.000
<v Speaker 2>middle of the field. There's nobody in the league that

110
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:18.240
<v Speaker 2>does this like those two players. It's incredible.

111
00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:22.040
<v Speaker 1>See you have Montreal Club Day Montreal. Why should DC

112
00:05:22.199 --> 00:05:23.040
<v Speaker 1>not be concerned.

113
00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:26.199
<v Speaker 2>Well, they're really good on the counter attack. They work hard,

114
00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:28.800
<v Speaker 2>but they also have a players that can beat you

115
00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:32.040
<v Speaker 2>with the dribble. They break lines with the dribble. They're

116
00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:34.399
<v Speaker 2>dangerous and there's one of those teams that's sitting in

117
00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:36.800
<v Speaker 2>the last, you know, last spot in the league. We

118
00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:39.360
<v Speaker 2>should win this game, but at the same time, they're dangerous,

119
00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:40.279
<v Speaker 2>so we have to be careful.

120
00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:42.879
<v Speaker 1>What's the key to stopping at counter attack.

121
00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:46.040
<v Speaker 2>Is pressure on the ball. You have to pressure on

122
00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:48.040
<v Speaker 2>the ball, put the when the balls in that end

123
00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:50.839
<v Speaker 2>of the field, just make sure that you push up

124
00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:53.879
<v Speaker 2>and everyone defense. And you know, obviously Kim has to

125
00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:56.079
<v Speaker 2>play high out of his goal, but that's the way

126
00:05:56.160 --> 00:05:58.199
<v Speaker 2>you have to defend the counter attack. You can't sit

127
00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:00.600
<v Speaker 2>You've got to be careful. You can't sit back in

128
00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:03.839
<v Speaker 2>de face. DC United has to press in this game

129
00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:05.040
<v Speaker 2>if they're going to be successful.
