<v Speaker 1>RSL has clinched a playoff spot that has clinched the

2
00:00:03.439 --> 00:00:04.320
<v Speaker 1>top three seed.

3
00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:05.879
<v Speaker 2>They moved up on Saturday.

4
00:00:06.440 --> 00:00:09.400
<v Speaker 1>Game one against Minnesota will be Tuesday, October the twenty ninth,

5
00:00:09.400 --> 00:00:11.679
<v Speaker 1>at seven o'clock. Our next guest has been on fire

6
00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:14.080
<v Speaker 1>as of late, scored a goal over the weekend. It's

7
00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:16.640
<v Speaker 1>Diego Luna back on the drive. Diego Happy Monday, man.

8
00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:18.719
<v Speaker 1>How you doing good?

9
00:00:18.760 --> 00:00:20.039
<v Speaker 3>How are you? Thank you for having me?

10
00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:22.519
<v Speaker 1>I'm good, buddy, I appreciate the time. So congrats on

11
00:00:22.600 --> 00:00:26.440
<v Speaker 1>yet another goal. What what would you most attribute your

12
00:00:26.559 --> 00:00:29.320
<v Speaker 1>good form to as of now? You've been playing really

13
00:00:29.320 --> 00:00:30.079
<v Speaker 1>well as of late.

14
00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:35.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think it's just finding the right stride at

15
00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:38.840
<v Speaker 3>the right time, right being in the right mindset mentally,

16
00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:41.600
<v Speaker 3>and then yeah, making sure your body's on the same

17
00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:43.799
<v Speaker 3>the same tracks.

18
00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:47.240
<v Speaker 1>So you guys are headed into the postseason now, and

19
00:00:47.560 --> 00:00:50.439
<v Speaker 1>ultimately it does feel like some of the defensive issues

20
00:00:50.479 --> 00:00:53.399
<v Speaker 1>you've run into have more or less been eliminated. You

21
00:00:53.399 --> 00:00:56.280
<v Speaker 1>had a couple of clean sheets prior to the one

22
00:00:56.320 --> 00:00:59.159
<v Speaker 1>goal Vancouver was able to get. We had Pablo on

23
00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:01.640
<v Speaker 1>the show last week and he told he told us

24
00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:04.239
<v Speaker 1>that he's asked you as a group to put in

25
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:07.239
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more work as the collective to make

26
00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:10.239
<v Speaker 1>sure that those defensive issues are are behind you. Do you,

27
00:01:10.239 --> 00:01:12.920
<v Speaker 1>guys feel like you have buying from everybody to make

28
00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:15.400
<v Speaker 1>sure that even if you're an attacking player, you got

29
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:17.079
<v Speaker 1>to track back and play good defense.

30
00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:21.200
<v Speaker 3>Of course, right, that's soccer, playing both sides of the

31
00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:24.640
<v Speaker 3>of the game, and that's that's what's going to lead

32
00:01:24.719 --> 00:01:26.959
<v Speaker 3>us to a championship. And that's what you know kept

33
00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:29.640
<v Speaker 3>us five games unbeating right now going into playoffs. Is

34
00:01:29.640 --> 00:01:34.000
<v Speaker 3>that mentality for both the attackers and defenders to play

35
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:34.840
<v Speaker 3>both sides of the game.

36
00:01:35.359 --> 00:01:37.280
<v Speaker 1>Tell me what it's been like to welcome in all

37
00:01:37.319 --> 00:01:40.359
<v Speaker 1>these new additions. You've had five new players added to

38
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:43.480
<v Speaker 1>the roster during the transfer window, and you had to

39
00:01:43.519 --> 00:01:46.599
<v Speaker 1>say goodbye to some really good players name Leandres Gomez.

40
00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:49.760
<v Speaker 1>What's that acclamation period been like for you guys, diego.

41
00:01:51.319 --> 00:01:54.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it was a big change, right. I think we

42
00:01:54.480 --> 00:01:57.359
<v Speaker 3>had a momentum and we had a stride. But that's soccer, right,

43
00:01:57.400 --> 00:02:00.319
<v Speaker 3>That's that's the transfer windows where you lose players, you

44
00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:03.040
<v Speaker 3>get players, and then you have to kind of rebuild

45
00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:05.560
<v Speaker 3>that chemistry and get everybody back on the same page

46
00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:08.159
<v Speaker 3>and I think it took a little bit of time,

47
00:02:08.199 --> 00:02:10.840
<v Speaker 3>but I think, like I said, we're finding it at

48
00:02:10.840 --> 00:02:14.159
<v Speaker 3>the right time and and you know, heading into the postseason.

49
00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:17.919
<v Speaker 1>So of course, you know, we all know how uh

50
00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:22.599
<v Speaker 1>proficient and effective Chiechho is when he's right. And I

51
00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:24.680
<v Speaker 1>thought he was going to smash the club record. I

52
00:02:24.719 --> 00:02:27.000
<v Speaker 1>thought he was going to maybe win the Golden Bood.

53
00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:30.319
<v Speaker 1>But diego, we haven't seen a chia Cho goal since July.

54
00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:34.000
<v Speaker 1>Why what do you attribute that to most.

55
00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:38.919
<v Speaker 3>I couldn't really tell you. I think he's been doing

56
00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:41.000
<v Speaker 3>what he's been what he's needed to do to be

57
00:02:41.039 --> 00:02:43.840
<v Speaker 3>in those positions. I think the ball just hasn't you know,

58
00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:47.919
<v Speaker 3>found his found his foot and been able to you know,

59
00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:50.159
<v Speaker 3>be there for him. I think, you know, that's the

60
00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:52.199
<v Speaker 3>game of soccer. When things are not working out for

61
00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:55.439
<v Speaker 3>for one player or one one you know, teammate, then

62
00:02:55.479 --> 00:02:57.199
<v Speaker 3>it might work out for the other. And that's well,

63
00:02:57.199 --> 00:02:59.360
<v Speaker 3>that's why you need a lot of threats on a team,

64
00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:04.360
<v Speaker 3>right And then also I think it could be just

65
00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:09.680
<v Speaker 3>uh like he's been better on the defensive side of

66
00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:12.680
<v Speaker 3>the ball and and everything else. So I think once

67
00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:15.120
<v Speaker 3>once he finds that next goal, I think it's gonna

68
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:17.840
<v Speaker 3>it's gonna be a you know, takeoff from there because

69
00:03:18.199 --> 00:03:20.840
<v Speaker 3>he's he's put in more work on the defensive side

70
00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:24.400
<v Speaker 3>and being as a leader, and I think that's that's

71
00:03:24.479 --> 00:03:26.599
<v Speaker 3>adding on to what we already know he can do.

72
00:03:26.919 --> 00:03:28.759
<v Speaker 3>So I think once he gets that first goal, he's

73
00:03:28.759 --> 00:03:29.400
<v Speaker 3>going to be flying.

74
00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:32.439
<v Speaker 1>So I was a little bit surprised, Diego to see

75
00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:36.479
<v Speaker 1>you on the right side of the lineup card on Saturday,

76
00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:39.680
<v Speaker 1>and it feels like, uh, you know, Pablo has tried

77
00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:42.159
<v Speaker 1>out some new formulas and some different things to make

78
00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:44.879
<v Speaker 1>sure the group is as connected as possible. Do you

79
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:47.000
<v Speaker 1>like playing out there on the right? Do you prefer

80
00:03:47.080 --> 00:03:49.159
<v Speaker 1>to be a little bit more centralized or on the left?

81
00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:51.400
<v Speaker 1>What What are your thoughts on the position you're asked

82
00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:53.360
<v Speaker 1>to play and where's the spot you would like to

83
00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:53.960
<v Speaker 1>play most?

84
00:03:55.280 --> 00:04:02.319
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think yeah. I would consider myself a natural ten.

85
00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:05.000
<v Speaker 3>So I like to play in the pockets. I like

86
00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:08.639
<v Speaker 3>to play in between the lines, and you know, centrally,

87
00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:11.319
<v Speaker 3>I like to drift. I like to to go wherever

88
00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:13.280
<v Speaker 3>the wherever the game calls for me. I like to

89
00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:15.400
<v Speaker 3>get on the ball and create things, right, That's that's

90
00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:19.079
<v Speaker 3>that's what I do. But in information you have to adapt.

91
00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:23.560
<v Speaker 3>And yeah, playing on the right, it gave me opportunities

92
00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:26.480
<v Speaker 3>to to go one v one and hopefully we look

93
00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:29.040
<v Speaker 3>for that more. And then on the left, you know,

94
00:04:29.079 --> 00:04:31.680
<v Speaker 3>I get to pinch in more and also float around.

95
00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:34.680
<v Speaker 3>So I guess, I guess the answer to your question.

96
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:37.279
<v Speaker 3>I prefer to play the left as it gives me

97
00:04:37.360 --> 00:04:41.600
<v Speaker 3>more freedom to tuck in and to roam. But the

98
00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:43.680
<v Speaker 3>position I like to play most and where I find

99
00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:47.600
<v Speaker 3>myself the most dangerous is essentially and being a ten

100
00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:50.199
<v Speaker 3>and rolling around and finding the space.

101
00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:54.480
<v Speaker 1>So tell me about the partnership that you have formulated

102
00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:58.399
<v Speaker 1>with Diogo since he landed, you know, obviously a designated player.

103
00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:02.199
<v Speaker 1>He comes to the club with a tremendous pedigree internationally

104
00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:05.360
<v Speaker 1>and it is still early, but tell us some of

105
00:05:05.399 --> 00:05:07.920
<v Speaker 1>the things that you've noticed in training and how do

106
00:05:07.959 --> 00:05:10.560
<v Speaker 1>you think it's coming along to kind of ingratiate him

107
00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:11.959
<v Speaker 1>into what Pablo wants to do.

108
00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:18.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think he he came in strong. I think

109
00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:20.879
<v Speaker 3>he had you know, it's difficult. I can't imagine right

110
00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:23.839
<v Speaker 3>coming to a new country and a new team and

111
00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:27.639
<v Speaker 3>such a weird you know, timing where where everybody's you know,

112
00:05:28.120 --> 00:05:31.120
<v Speaker 3>in form and stuff like that. So you got to give,

113
00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:33.839
<v Speaker 3>you know, a little bit of credit to him for

114
00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:37.240
<v Speaker 3>coming in at that time. And then but he's adapted.

115
00:05:37.279 --> 00:05:37.519
<v Speaker 1>Well.

116
00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:41.079
<v Speaker 3>He's a great guy, uh personally, so that that made

117
00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:43.800
<v Speaker 3>it easy for everybody to to get comfortable with him

118
00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:46.759
<v Speaker 3>and really connect with him into the into the team.

119
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:49.519
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, I think he still has another level that

120
00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:51.279
<v Speaker 3>he's going to reach and that's just going to be

121
00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:54.480
<v Speaker 3>another thing that that brings ourselves to another level of

122
00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:57.160
<v Speaker 3>having everybody reaching their peak form, you know, at the

123
00:05:57.240 --> 00:05:57.639
<v Speaker 3>right time.

124
00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:00.240
<v Speaker 1>Ask about Ask you about a couple of the other

125
00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:04.000
<v Speaker 1>new guys, Dominic, Dominic, Mark Zuke, who looks like Pablo

126
00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:07.199
<v Speaker 1>likes to use him, you know, kind of out wide

127
00:06:07.240 --> 00:06:09.560
<v Speaker 1>a little bit where we saw Andres Gomez play and

128
00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:12.720
<v Speaker 1>he's been called to some international duty, so he hasn't

129
00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:15.079
<v Speaker 1>been around, I'm sure as much as Pablo would prefer.

130
00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:17.480
<v Speaker 1>But how's that process going and what type of player

131
00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:17.759
<v Speaker 1>is he?

132
00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:23.279
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Dominique another great guy that made it very easy

133
00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:26.720
<v Speaker 3>to connect with and and you know, become a friend with,

134
00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:29.480
<v Speaker 3>So that part was taken care of. And then on

135
00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:31.879
<v Speaker 3>the other side of the ball, he's a great player

136
00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:33.720
<v Speaker 3>and I think for him to go one b one

137
00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:39.759
<v Speaker 3>a lot his his strength and you know, just one

138
00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:44.199
<v Speaker 3>v one and get assists, sand crosses in and I

139
00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:46.120
<v Speaker 3>think that's his strength and that's where we need to

140
00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:47.360
<v Speaker 3>find him more on the wing.

141
00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:51.720
<v Speaker 1>Same question about Lochlin Brook, another international young Australian kid

142
00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:53.839
<v Speaker 1>brought over here as well. He came on for you

143
00:06:53.879 --> 00:06:57.839
<v Speaker 1>in the eighty sixth on Saturday. Tell us about him?

144
00:06:57.839 --> 00:07:03.199
<v Speaker 1>What have you learned and what type of player is he?

145
00:07:03.399 --> 00:07:07.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Lachlan, he's gifted with his left foot right, so

146
00:07:07.480 --> 00:07:10.279
<v Speaker 3>he's got a very nice left foot, and I would

147
00:07:10.279 --> 00:07:12.439
<v Speaker 3>say he's similar. He likes to go one on one,

148
00:07:12.519 --> 00:07:17.759
<v Speaker 3>he likes to drive inwards with the ball essentially, and yeah,

149
00:07:17.800 --> 00:07:20.959
<v Speaker 3>he's very skillful with his left foot. He's very technical.

150
00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:24.279
<v Speaker 3>So I think he's another, you know, great addition, especially

151
00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:27.639
<v Speaker 3>you know when when we need someone like that to have.

152
00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:31.000
<v Speaker 3>And I think that's uh yeah.

153
00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:32.079
<v Speaker 1>So I think I know the answer to this question,

154
00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:34.360
<v Speaker 1>but I'm gonna ask you anyway. We had a point

155
00:07:34.360 --> 00:07:36.680
<v Speaker 1>guard here for a number of years named John Stockton,

156
00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:39.639
<v Speaker 1>who set an NBA record for assists, and John always

157
00:07:39.639 --> 00:07:42.879
<v Speaker 1>talked about how he liked setting his players up as

158
00:07:42.920 --> 00:07:44.720
<v Speaker 1>opposed to simply scoring all the time.

159
00:07:45.279 --> 00:07:47.519
<v Speaker 2>You do both really well. You have e goals, but

160
00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:48.800
<v Speaker 2>you also have twelve assists.

161
00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:51.519
<v Speaker 1>Do you like scoring goals more or do you like

162
00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:53.120
<v Speaker 1>setting your teammates up more?

163
00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:55.399
<v Speaker 2>And why I like.

164
00:07:55.399 --> 00:08:00.480
<v Speaker 3>Scoring goals more buys far? I like. I like scoring goals.

165
00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:02.800
<v Speaker 3>I like, you know, putting the ball in the net.

166
00:08:02.920 --> 00:08:06.720
<v Speaker 3>And yeah, whether it's a top end, whether it's a

167
00:08:06.759 --> 00:08:10.680
<v Speaker 3>shot from thirty yards out, whether it's a header, I

168
00:08:10.680 --> 00:08:14.040
<v Speaker 3>don't care. I like scoring goals, and you know, I

169
00:08:14.079 --> 00:08:16.480
<v Speaker 3>wish I ended with more goals. I don't think eight

170
00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:19.160
<v Speaker 3>was enough. My goal was to reach double digits in

171
00:08:19.199 --> 00:08:23.639
<v Speaker 3>the season. But yeah, and then assists, you know, it's

172
00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:27.639
<v Speaker 3>they're great, right, Like that's something that you know what

173
00:08:27.720 --> 00:08:31.639
<v Speaker 3>we need goals and assists, but not nothing beats scoring goals.

174
00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:34.759
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I figured as much, And you know, I can

175
00:08:34.759 --> 00:08:38.759
<v Speaker 1>totally understand why, certainly in soccer, when one goal changes games.

176
00:08:38.799 --> 00:08:40.120
<v Speaker 2>When when when you.

177
00:08:40.120 --> 00:08:42.639
<v Speaker 1>Have the ball at your feet, like on Saturday, even

178
00:08:42.639 --> 00:08:45.120
<v Speaker 1>against San Jose, and you're still a little ways out

179
00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:47.519
<v Speaker 1>from goal and you've got players making runs, what goes

180
00:08:47.519 --> 00:08:49.919
<v Speaker 1>through your mind and how do you decide when it's

181
00:08:49.960 --> 00:08:52.360
<v Speaker 1>time to have a go or time to maybe lay it?

182
00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:53.559
<v Speaker 2>Off and set up a teammate.

183
00:08:55.080 --> 00:08:58.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think moments like that. My mind's always thinking

184
00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:02.000
<v Speaker 3>goal right, and that's that's a hard mindset to to

185
00:09:02.360 --> 00:09:05.440
<v Speaker 3>transition into as as where you know, I grew up

186
00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:09.000
<v Speaker 3>and you know, you find find the paths that's open, right,

187
00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:11.240
<v Speaker 3>find the player that has the best chance of scoring.

188
00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:14.440
<v Speaker 3>All these things are taught to you. But you know,

189
00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:16.840
<v Speaker 3>in this level and stuff like that, you gotta you

190
00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:19.480
<v Speaker 3>gotta score goals, man, You gotta if things are not

191
00:09:19.559 --> 00:09:21.919
<v Speaker 3>going well for the team or you got to find

192
00:09:21.919 --> 00:09:24.759
<v Speaker 3>a way, you know, to score goals even on bad games,

193
00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:27.919
<v Speaker 3>on on good games, whether that's inside the box, outside

194
00:09:27.960 --> 00:09:31.320
<v Speaker 3>the box, getting in the right position for a cross, it's, uh,

195
00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:33.600
<v Speaker 3>it's all about that. And then that feeling that you

196
00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:35.799
<v Speaker 3>get you can't really explain it, you know, when when

197
00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:37.879
<v Speaker 3>you're gonna shoot, when you're gonna pass. It's that feeling

198
00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:40.480
<v Speaker 3>you get when you're when you find that little gap

199
00:09:40.600 --> 00:09:42.679
<v Speaker 3>in between you know, the players, and you get you know,

200
00:09:42.919 --> 00:09:45.120
<v Speaker 3>you get six to twelve inches of space. You got

201
00:09:45.120 --> 00:09:45.840
<v Speaker 3>to take that shot.

202
00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:46.639
<v Speaker 2>You know.

203
00:09:46.759 --> 00:09:49.320
<v Speaker 1>Baseball players often talk about as soon as they make

204
00:09:49.399 --> 00:09:52.519
<v Speaker 1>contact with the ball pros, no if they hit a homer,

205
00:09:53.000 --> 00:09:56.840
<v Speaker 1>how quickly. How quickly do you know, uh, diego after

206
00:09:56.879 --> 00:09:59.799
<v Speaker 1>you have struck the ball that it's got a shot

207
00:09:59.840 --> 00:10:00.879
<v Speaker 1>to on the back of the net.

208
00:10:00.919 --> 00:10:03.399
<v Speaker 2>Is it instantaneous? Do you look up like how quickly

209
00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:04.480
<v Speaker 2>do you know you hit a good one?

210
00:10:05.639 --> 00:10:08.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? I think that's a great question. I think a

211
00:10:08.320 --> 00:10:12.399
<v Speaker 3>lot of it, you know, from from shots I'd say

212
00:10:12.399 --> 00:10:17.279
<v Speaker 3>outside the box. It's it's the feeling like as soon

213
00:10:17.279 --> 00:10:21.320
<v Speaker 3>as you hit it, you know. But I think like

214
00:10:21.399 --> 00:10:24.000
<v Speaker 3>the goal on Saturday, or when you're dribbling or these

215
00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:27.480
<v Speaker 3>little things, it's as soon as you look up and

216
00:10:27.519 --> 00:10:30.840
<v Speaker 3>the ball, either the first bounce or the first like

217
00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:34.279
<v Speaker 3>half second, as soon as you look up then you know.

218
00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:38.360
<v Speaker 3>And yeah, but I think it's a lot of it's

219
00:10:38.399 --> 00:10:41.240
<v Speaker 3>the feeling like making good contact, like you know, like

220
00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:42.159
<v Speaker 3>other sports.

221
00:10:42.480 --> 00:10:43.679
<v Speaker 2>So here's a follow up.

222
00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:47.759
<v Speaker 1>Which strike because the one you put off the crossbar,

223
00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:50.559
<v Speaker 1>like we were all standing and screaming, man.

224
00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:51.919
<v Speaker 2>Because of the couple of step over.

225
00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:55.279
<v Speaker 1>So which strike was actually a better strike when you

226
00:10:55.360 --> 00:10:57.440
<v Speaker 1>actually took the shot, the one that went in or

227
00:10:57.480 --> 00:11:00.279
<v Speaker 1>the one that hit the crossbar, one that.

228
00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:03.879
<v Speaker 3>Hit the cross bar? Yeah, yeah, I made better contact

229
00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:07.039
<v Speaker 3>with that one. And and you know with the follow

230
00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:10.039
<v Speaker 3>through like the speed and and how hard I hit it.

231
00:11:10.039 --> 00:11:13.120
<v Speaker 3>It was definitely with that one. But I leaned back

232
00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:15.039
<v Speaker 3>a little too much on that one, which you know,

233
00:11:15.159 --> 00:11:17.000
<v Speaker 3>which led the ball to go a little higher than

234
00:11:17.399 --> 00:11:20.399
<v Speaker 3>than I wanted. But the contact was good and and yeah,

235
00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:22.399
<v Speaker 3>it would have been uh would have been an amazing

236
00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:23.799
<v Speaker 3>you know, cherry on top.

237
00:11:24.039 --> 00:11:25.919
<v Speaker 2>Did you think it was going in when you struck it?

238
00:11:27.000 --> 00:11:30.840
<v Speaker 3>No, I knew, I knew I hit it. I knew

239
00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:32.879
<v Speaker 3>I was leaning back, so I thought it was gonna

240
00:11:32.879 --> 00:11:34.919
<v Speaker 3>go over, but you know, I hit the crossbar.

241
00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:35.919
<v Speaker 2>It looked good.

242
00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:36.159
<v Speaker 3>Man.

243
00:11:36.200 --> 00:11:38.720
<v Speaker 2>What do you have a favorite goal that you've scored

244
00:11:38.759 --> 00:11:39.159
<v Speaker 2>this year?

245
00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:42.639
<v Speaker 3>Oh? This year? Probably San Jose?

246
00:11:42.840 --> 00:11:45.399
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah, what about what about all time?

247
00:11:45.559 --> 00:11:47.039
<v Speaker 2>Like, what about in your career? Do you have one?

248
00:11:47.360 --> 00:11:55.120
<v Speaker 3>Okay, I would probably you know, San Jose is still

249
00:11:55.159 --> 00:11:57.759
<v Speaker 3>up there, you know, just because it's it's in my hometown, right.

250
00:11:57.840 --> 00:11:59.720
<v Speaker 3>I was in front of you know, one hundred and

251
00:11:59.759 --> 00:12:04.200
<v Speaker 3>fifty people friending family, and yeah, I think that that

252
00:12:04.360 --> 00:12:07.600
<v Speaker 3>was pretty cool. And then I'd also say maybe one

253
00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:10.399
<v Speaker 3>of the goals I scored in Opaso. There's maybe two

254
00:12:10.480 --> 00:12:13.080
<v Speaker 3>or three that were very special, so that.

255
00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:15.399
<v Speaker 2>Could have been awesome that San Jose goal Man.

256
00:12:15.480 --> 00:12:17.799
<v Speaker 1>That was something special that definitely has to be right

257
00:12:17.840 --> 00:12:20.639
<v Speaker 1>after on the list. I wonder, you know, because obviously

258
00:12:20.679 --> 00:12:24.879
<v Speaker 1>it's unfortunate that Brian Vera has been suspended and he's

259
00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:27.639
<v Speaker 1>going to miss uh, he's gonna miss the first playoff game.

260
00:12:27.879 --> 00:12:31.039
<v Speaker 1>Did you guys talk to Brian afterwards? Because I would

261
00:12:31.039 --> 00:12:34.000
<v Speaker 1>imagine Diego he is so bummed out to miss a

262
00:12:34.039 --> 00:12:35.039
<v Speaker 1>home playoff game.

263
00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:38.399
<v Speaker 2>Have you guys talked to him?

264
00:12:38.879 --> 00:12:44.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I personally haven't talked to him about the situation

265
00:12:44.600 --> 00:12:47.879
<v Speaker 3>or thing he do. He did, but I think the

266
00:12:47.919 --> 00:12:51.200
<v Speaker 3>team has and and you know, the coaching staff has

267
00:12:51.279 --> 00:12:55.279
<v Speaker 3>and yeah, it's unfortunate, but you know things, you get

268
00:12:55.320 --> 00:12:59.519
<v Speaker 3>consequences for things, you know, for action, So I think, yeah,

269
00:12:59.559 --> 00:13:02.480
<v Speaker 3>he'll learn from it. He'll come back, you know, stronger better.

270
00:13:02.519 --> 00:13:04.559
<v Speaker 3>He's been training good, training hard.

271
00:13:04.639 --> 00:13:09.679
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, all right, who is on the roster right now?

272
00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:12.600
<v Speaker 1>Who's the best free kick taker? When that balls lined

273
00:13:12.720 --> 00:13:14.720
<v Speaker 1>up and you guys are debating about who's going to

274
00:13:14.759 --> 00:13:16.480
<v Speaker 1>take because Brian takes a lot of him because he

275
00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:19.080
<v Speaker 1>has that cannon left leg. Who's the Who's who's the

276
00:13:19.080 --> 00:13:20.559
<v Speaker 1>best free kick taker right now?

277
00:13:21.919 --> 00:13:27.360
<v Speaker 3>I would say, uh, probably Diogo? He has a really

278
00:13:27.399 --> 00:13:32.080
<v Speaker 3>good technique and and yeah or Pablo, uh.

279
00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:35.480
<v Speaker 2>Oh, yeah, that's right. Unfortunately he's been her.

280
00:13:35.559 --> 00:13:39.080
<v Speaker 1>What's because you're you have to be really good at

281
00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:41.639
<v Speaker 1>that too, right, I mean is that an area that

282
00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:42.919
<v Speaker 1>you'd like to improve a little bit?

283
00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:46.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, a little bit. But I think I think I

284
00:13:46.399 --> 00:13:49.360
<v Speaker 3>am good at free kicks, but I think we have

285
00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:52.480
<v Speaker 3>a lot of guys on the team that are also good.

286
00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:54.480
<v Speaker 3>So I think it's like a kind of who's on

287
00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:58.240
<v Speaker 3>the field, who committed the foul, who's at the right

288
00:13:58.279 --> 00:13:59.200
<v Speaker 3>time going to take it?

289
00:13:59.279 --> 00:14:01.679
<v Speaker 2>You know, how do you guys decide that?

290
00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:04.320
<v Speaker 1>And how does Pablo completely leave it up to you

291
00:14:04.480 --> 00:14:06.919
<v Speaker 1>or is it predetermined depending on where the kick is

292
00:14:06.960 --> 00:14:07.559
<v Speaker 1>taken from.

293
00:14:08.600 --> 00:14:10.759
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think it's where the foul is, who's on

294
00:14:10.799 --> 00:14:15.080
<v Speaker 3>the field at that time, and who who's feeling the

295
00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:16.200
<v Speaker 3>confident at that moment.

296
00:14:17.440 --> 00:14:20.000
<v Speaker 1>All right, buddy, before I set you loose, you know,

297
00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:22.480
<v Speaker 1>it was an own goal that allowed you guys to

298
00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:25.240
<v Speaker 1>get to win on Saturday, and you're you are in

299
00:14:25.360 --> 00:14:28.360
<v Speaker 1>great form, which is good news, But I think there's

300
00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:31.000
<v Speaker 1>a feeling that the team still needs to find its

301
00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:33.000
<v Speaker 1>form in order to make a deep run. So what

302
00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:35.559
<v Speaker 1>do you have to do and hopefully getting to win

303
00:14:35.639 --> 00:14:38.000
<v Speaker 1>against Minnesota because I think you guys are a better side.

304
00:14:38.039 --> 00:14:39.360
<v Speaker 2>I think you're going to win that series.

305
00:14:39.399 --> 00:14:41.279
<v Speaker 1>But what do you have to do to make sure

306
00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:44.039
<v Speaker 1>your form is where it needs to be leading into

307
00:14:44.480 --> 00:14:46.960
<v Speaker 1>the rest of the postseason to maybe do something special

308
00:14:46.960 --> 00:14:47.360
<v Speaker 1>this year?

309
00:14:49.120 --> 00:14:53.879
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think I think we need everybody to put

310
00:14:53.919 --> 00:14:55.360
<v Speaker 3>in the work on both sides of the ball. I

311
00:14:55.360 --> 00:14:57.799
<v Speaker 3>think that's the biggest thing for us. Because we have quality,

312
00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:00.559
<v Speaker 3>we know we're going to create chances, and we know

313
00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:03.000
<v Speaker 3>we're gonna you know, we're going to have opportunities. But

314
00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:05.399
<v Speaker 3>making sure that everybody's put in the work on the

315
00:15:05.440 --> 00:15:08.120
<v Speaker 3>defensive side is what's going to make the difference. And

316
00:15:08.159 --> 00:15:10.480
<v Speaker 3>I think that's that's what ours is, right, the work

317
00:15:10.639 --> 00:15:13.200
<v Speaker 3>workhorse mentality that's in our DNA, and that's what we

318
00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:15.720
<v Speaker 3>need to remember that what got us there, and I

319
00:15:15.720 --> 00:15:18.799
<v Speaker 3>think that that's going to be the deciding factor of us,

320
00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:21.519
<v Speaker 3>whether making a long run or ending it short, is

321
00:15:21.559 --> 00:15:24.919
<v Speaker 3>going to be the defensive work from from everyone all

322
00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:26.360
<v Speaker 3>eleven plus guys.

323
00:15:26.960 --> 00:15:29.120
<v Speaker 1>Well, Buddy, as you often say, when the ball's at

324
00:15:29.120 --> 00:15:31.360
<v Speaker 1>your feet, you'd like to make magic happen. So keep

325
00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:33.879
<v Speaker 1>making that magic happen. Best of luck and we'll chat soon.

326
00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:37.000
<v Speaker 3>Okay, thank you very much, appreciate it. Thank you for

327
00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:37.360
<v Speaker 3>having me.

328
00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:41.480
<v Speaker 1>Diego Luna on fire, wonder goal against San Jose, another

329
00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:44.519
<v Speaker 1>goal against Vancouver, but the best strike he had may

330
00:15:44.519 --> 00:15:46.120
<v Speaker 1>have not been the one that went in and went

331
00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:49.759
<v Speaker 1>off the crossbar after like three stepovers soccer term.

332
00:15:49.960 --> 00:15:52.080
<v Speaker 2>It was very cool. All right.

333
00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:54.080
<v Speaker 1>I want to tell you about my friends at Fika

334
00:15:54.200 --> 00:15:57.440
<v Speaker 1>Infusion and Wellness. So here's what I use Fiica Infusion

335
00:15:57.440 --> 00:16:01.600
<v Speaker 1>and Wellness for. They have hydration shots, they have ivs.

336
00:16:01.399 --> 00:16:04.320
<v Speaker 1>It's a matter of minutes and you feel completely hydrated

337
00:16:04.360 --> 00:16:06.919
<v Speaker 1>and energetic. Oftentimes I'll get up a little bit earlier

338
00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:09.080
<v Speaker 1>on a Saturday if I have a tea time and

339
00:16:09.159 --> 00:16:11.039
<v Speaker 1>I need to be hydrated, I'll stop by there on

340
00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:13.720
<v Speaker 1>my way up to the golf course. So Fika Infusion

341
00:16:13.759 --> 00:16:16.519
<v Speaker 1>and Wellness, there's a lot going on right now, football, hockey,

342
00:16:16.519 --> 00:16:19.480
<v Speaker 1>tail gating, traveling, and if you're wanting to lose weight

343
00:16:19.600 --> 00:16:21.799
<v Speaker 1>or get hydrated, you need a boost and you can

344
00:16:21.840 --> 00:16:24.600
<v Speaker 1>get it at Fika Infusion and Wellness. Gave yourself a

345
00:16:24.600 --> 00:16:27.080
<v Speaker 1>head start and a little push with FAK Infusion and Wellness.

346
00:16:27.080 --> 00:16:29.519
<v Speaker 1>Now here's the bottom line, they've got a great deal

347
00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:32.159
<v Speaker 1>right now. It's an ESPN seven hundred deal. Just tell

348
00:16:32.200 --> 00:16:34.639
<v Speaker 1>them you heard it on my radio show. Say Spence

349
00:16:34.679 --> 00:16:37.080
<v Speaker 1>told me to go try this. You get one hundred

350
00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:39.840
<v Speaker 1>dollars off your first IV. That's essentially close to a

351
00:16:39.879 --> 00:16:42.600
<v Speaker 1>free IV. And that's again what I use it for.

352
00:16:42.639 --> 00:16:44.399
<v Speaker 1>If you need to lose weight. They've got the semi

353
00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:47.080
<v Speaker 1>glue tide or the ozempic or whatever the new fad is,

354
00:16:47.159 --> 00:16:48.240
<v Speaker 1>they've got that as well.

355
00:16:48.960 --> 00:16:51.480
<v Speaker 2>So again, mention ESPN seven hundred.

356
00:16:51.559 --> 00:16:53.480
<v Speaker 1>You get one hundred dollars off your first IV and

357
