00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:02.640
<v Speaker 1>H Here we go, Here we go. It's another episode

2
00:00:02.680 --> 00:00:05.879
<v Speaker 1>of First eleven eleven minutes or less, your DC and

3
00:00:05.919 --> 00:00:09.679
<v Speaker 1>IED podcast, Your Soccer podcast along with US Soccer Hall

4
00:00:09.720 --> 00:00:12.240
<v Speaker 1>of Fame with Bruce Murray. I'm Dave Johnson d C

5
00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:15.439
<v Speaker 1>andited at the weekend a zero zero drawl with Club

6
00:00:15.519 --> 00:00:19.960
<v Speaker 1>Dave Foot Montreal H. Bruce, just just quick overall impressions

7
00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:21.719
<v Speaker 1>of the game. We'll get some comments from Troy La

8
00:00:21.800 --> 00:00:24.839
<v Speaker 1>say and talk about what they need to do offensively,

9
00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:27.839
<v Speaker 1>but just overall impressions because they did get the clean sheet.

10
00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:30.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the game. The game was flat day. We didn't

11
00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:34.079
<v Speaker 2>we didn't come out and boss the game. Part of

12
00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:37.479
<v Speaker 2>the problem was Montreal had a five man midfield and

13
00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:39.759
<v Speaker 2>we just couldn't figure it out. We had to get

14
00:00:39.799 --> 00:00:42.600
<v Speaker 2>up the field a lot quicker. Uh, and we didn't

15
00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:45.439
<v Speaker 2>and we It just was flat and the players will

16
00:00:45.439 --> 00:00:48.560
<v Speaker 2>be disappointed. But again, we're undefeated and I'll look at

17
00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:50.840
<v Speaker 2>it Troy's way. You know, we're undefeated four games in.

18
00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:54.240
<v Speaker 1>That's that's you get points from every match so far

19
00:00:54.320 --> 00:00:57.240
<v Speaker 1>for d C. And I let's hear from Troy lassaying

20
00:00:57.359 --> 00:00:59.240
<v Speaker 1>about what they did do attacking.

21
00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:03.200
<v Speaker 3>The attacks were successful, you know they were really quick interchanges.

22
00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:05.480
<v Speaker 3>The one that Gabby in the first half, if you

23
00:01:05.480 --> 00:01:07.920
<v Speaker 3>can remember that, it's a really good ball inside the

24
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:10.760
<v Speaker 3>eighteen into Peglo and it's a very quick action from

25
00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:13.480
<v Speaker 3>Peglo for a close finish from Gabby.

26
00:01:13.599 --> 00:01:16.840
<v Speaker 4>Right Aaron Herrera, where do you are some gold on

27
00:01:16.840 --> 00:01:20.040
<v Speaker 4>the right side, Hey, through ball back, you'll comeing.

28
00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:21.959
<v Speaker 5>Through Parani coming out siwah.

29
00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:23.480
<v Speaker 6>Wow.

30
00:01:25.239 --> 00:01:29.239
<v Speaker 5>And Sarah was able to deny Parani. But Sarah had

31
00:01:29.239 --> 00:01:31.760
<v Speaker 5>to come out and get down on the turf, put

32
00:01:31.799 --> 00:01:36.760
<v Speaker 5>it off frame, out of play, harassed by the charging suwap.

33
00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:38.079
<v Speaker 7>That's a good example.

34
00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:40.319
<v Speaker 3>We didn't have enough of that type of combination play

35
00:01:40.359 --> 00:01:43.519
<v Speaker 3>that was at that speed. It usually got into positions

36
00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:45.560
<v Speaker 3>and we took an extra touch or we played it

37
00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:49.040
<v Speaker 3>wide again, and we just never really threatened Montreal. Credit

38
00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:50.959
<v Speaker 3>to Montreal, though, I thought that they did an excellent

39
00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:51.799
<v Speaker 3>job defending.

40
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:52.480
<v Speaker 7>All right.

41
00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:55.200
<v Speaker 1>We just heard the comments Bruce of Troy was saying

42
00:01:55.239 --> 00:01:58.680
<v Speaker 1>that great chance where Pirani he was in and Suwac

43
00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:01.319
<v Speaker 1>came up big. But that was one of the themes

44
00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:03.920
<v Speaker 1>of the day. Jonathan Sierwa the goalkeeper. But when you

45
00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:08.800
<v Speaker 1>heard the comments of Troy Lasain and you've been in

46
00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:13.479
<v Speaker 1>an attacking position. What was missing Saturday from DC United's

47
00:02:13.479 --> 00:02:17.159
<v Speaker 1>attack and what should they apply this Saturday against Orlando

48
00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:18.919
<v Speaker 1>or is you hear and make those comments.

49
00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:19.479
<v Speaker 7>Well, in the.

50
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:24.319
<v Speaker 2>Final third, we had possession twenty twenty two passes and

51
00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:26.759
<v Speaker 2>we just could not you know, pick the lock.

52
00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:28.520
<v Speaker 7>We couldn't we couldn't figure our way through.

53
00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:32.280
<v Speaker 2>And so in that situation, when that happens, you got

54
00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:34.759
<v Speaker 2>to fire one in. And that's what happened when Herrera

55
00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:38.599
<v Speaker 2>fired it in to Peglo with the cheeky bacule. That's

56
00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:42.599
<v Speaker 2>the kind of movements and motions he needed to make. Again,

57
00:02:42.639 --> 00:02:45.439
<v Speaker 2>when you're in that situation and you're you know, you're

58
00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:47.759
<v Speaker 2>probing and you're trying to make a pass and this

59
00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:49.639
<v Speaker 2>and you're you know, I think there was a there

60
00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:51.599
<v Speaker 2>was many times in the game where we were at

61
00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:54.000
<v Speaker 2>their box and we just could not get it through.

62
00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:56.360
<v Speaker 2>So at that point, Herrera just said the heck with

63
00:02:56.400 --> 00:02:59.360
<v Speaker 2>it and let me fire one in there. And Peglo, man,

64
00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:02.560
<v Speaker 2>what what? What a talent for the back heel and

65
00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:05.080
<v Speaker 2>then Paran's moving off the ball, So, uh, you know,

66
00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:07.080
<v Speaker 2>that's that's probably what Froy.

67
00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:08.919
<v Speaker 7>You know, Troy's thinking right now. Is we got to

68
00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:10.159
<v Speaker 7>start being more direct.

69
00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:14.919
<v Speaker 1>So it starts with you be ambitious, and that's that's

70
00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:18.240
<v Speaker 1>again you mentioned her era. The fullbacks have to be

71
00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:21.360
<v Speaker 1>so critical in that. Now ben techie badly with Saliba Ford.

72
00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:23.919
<v Speaker 1>Saliba heads it away, but now Schneg has it left

73
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:24.520
<v Speaker 1>side of the box.

74
00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:27.199
<v Speaker 4>Schneg to the sixth and guarding through Stroud.

75
00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:30.840
<v Speaker 5>Zierua comes up with the same potter kick DC and

76
00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:34.319
<v Speaker 5>ided but Stroud hoping the knife at home and Siuah

77
00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:36.240
<v Speaker 5>put his body on the line.

78
00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:43.360
<v Speaker 8>Oh ah, you talk about a save Siuah point blank range, a.

79
00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:46.400
<v Speaker 4>Quarter kicked for DC and I did right poner working

80
00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:51.080
<v Speaker 4>right to the left. Okay, Christian Mette no surprise number

81
00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:54.759
<v Speaker 4>one in aerial duels. So right away DC and ied on.

82
00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:59.319
<v Speaker 1>Corners start from a position of strength, position of strength.

83
00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:03.039
<v Speaker 6>Where sending it in Pentechy heads it down and then

84
00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:07.000
<v Speaker 6>it's headed again right the Seir law and Kyle Rowles

85
00:04:07.080 --> 00:04:10.240
<v Speaker 6>almost opened his Make League Soccer account a little flick

86
00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:12.599
<v Speaker 6>header from the six yard box but Sir able to

87
00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:13.120
<v Speaker 6>control it.

88
00:04:13.240 --> 00:04:17.600
<v Speaker 8>Wow, And just watching that header back by Benechy, Campbell

89
00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:18.839
<v Speaker 8>couldn't do anything about it.

90
00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:22.680
<v Speaker 7>Nobody, nobody. It seems like Potecki wins every single header

91
00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:23.000
<v Speaker 7>on a.

92
00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:26.240
<v Speaker 1>Cornerkick, and you can make the argument Kim June Hung

93
00:04:26.839 --> 00:04:30.600
<v Speaker 1>involved again, securing at least at one point.

94
00:04:30.519 --> 00:04:31.879
<v Speaker 4>Right into the Chico stand.

95
00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:36.160
<v Speaker 7>This freekick is being taken, the take and Kim the saved.

96
00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:39.439
<v Speaker 5>Now the follower and Kevin another saying a corner kick coming.

97
00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:41.040
<v Speaker 6>Wow.

98
00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:45.160
<v Speaker 5>Grace Duke tried to score from the free kick. Kim

99
00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:48.079
<v Speaker 5>made the same and he was there for the follower

100
00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:49.279
<v Speaker 5>porter kick.

101
00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:52.839
<v Speaker 1>Montreal, your thoughts as he's growing into the role with

102
00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:55.240
<v Speaker 1>a banged up shoulder as the starting keeper.

103
00:04:55.879 --> 00:04:56.399
<v Speaker 7>I love him.

104
00:04:56.399 --> 00:05:00.720
<v Speaker 2>I think he's still kind of unsettled in terms of

105
00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:03.360
<v Speaker 2>you know the league and where, you know how the

106
00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:05.360
<v Speaker 2>league works and this and that. But but you can

107
00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:09.920
<v Speaker 2>tell he's got high quality and his quickness, especially his

108
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:13.920
<v Speaker 2>lateral quickness, being able to get across the goal really quick.

109
00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:17.759
<v Speaker 2>And and also his distribution is fantastic. He can he can

110
00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:19.959
<v Speaker 2>hit a ball Dave that cuts right through the ball.

111
00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:21.800
<v Speaker 7>I mean he can hit. He can go box the

112
00:05:21.839 --> 00:05:22.879
<v Speaker 7>box if he wants to do all.

113
00:05:22.879 --> 00:05:25.560
<v Speaker 1>Right, International break coming up, so Matti Peltela will not

114
00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:28.600
<v Speaker 1>be involved in DC and I but bring this up

115
00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:32.079
<v Speaker 1>because it shows the depth of DC, and I thought

116
00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:36.160
<v Speaker 1>on Saturday that Jose Kajima Borisen now go out and

117
00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:40.000
<v Speaker 1>you're able to bring in Brendan Servenia and also Mattie

118
00:05:40.040 --> 00:05:46.279
<v Speaker 1>Peltala uh like for like substitutions. And again Troy Lasain's perspective,

119
00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:49.600
<v Speaker 1>it was not anything that Kajima or borzenaw did wrong.

120
00:05:49.879 --> 00:05:51.800
<v Speaker 1>It was just his thought to try to change up

121
00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:54.519
<v Speaker 1>the energy to have that kind of depth.

122
00:05:55.319 --> 00:05:57.279
<v Speaker 7>That's I mean, you you hit it right on the head.

123
00:05:57.319 --> 00:05:59.680
<v Speaker 7>I mean, it's not they didn't do anything wrong.

124
00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:02.759
<v Speaker 2>But but the coach now he's saying to himself, I

125
00:06:02.839 --> 00:06:05.399
<v Speaker 2>can have two guys on my bench. They can come

126
00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:09.879
<v Speaker 2>in and improve the game. And so that's pretty rare.

127
00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:13.000
<v Speaker 2>We've got a bench, Dame, not just a bench full

128
00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:14.920
<v Speaker 2>of players. We've got a bench full of players that

129
00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:16.879
<v Speaker 2>can come in and improve the game, which I always

130
00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:17.720
<v Speaker 2>think of substitute.

131
00:06:17.720 --> 00:06:20.160
<v Speaker 7>That's the definition, come in and make the game better.

132
00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:23.759
<v Speaker 1>Speaking of which, your thoughts of the growth of Jacob Burle.

133
00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:28.240
<v Speaker 2>Oh my gosh, Well, Jacob came in and he just

134
00:06:29.319 --> 00:06:32.319
<v Speaker 2>I'd pretty much chase everything in and just a wonderful player.

135
00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:37.360
<v Speaker 7>He brings so much energy to the game, and you know.

136
00:06:37.279 --> 00:06:42.279
<v Speaker 2>He constantly has positive things happen when he comes in

137
00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:42.720
<v Speaker 2>the game.

138
00:06:43.439 --> 00:06:45.639
<v Speaker 1>So the bottom line is that that Troy is saying

139
00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:48.079
<v Speaker 1>this is what he wants. And you've been in this

140
00:06:48.199 --> 00:06:51.560
<v Speaker 1>kind of situation. You want competition all over the field.

141
00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:52.720
<v Speaker 7>Oh my gosh.

142
00:06:52.759 --> 00:06:56.519
<v Speaker 2>I mean I spoke to a college coach once to

143
00:06:56.519 --> 00:06:59.600
<v Speaker 2>be anonymous, and he's like, I'll bring in six midfielders

144
00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:01.360
<v Speaker 2>this year, justifying one player.

145
00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:04.279
<v Speaker 7>In other words, you know, it's.

146
00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:07.560
<v Speaker 2>A cutthroat business, this game at higher levels college and

147
00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:11.000
<v Speaker 2>professional soccer, and you want guys that are pushing the

148
00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:13.079
<v Speaker 2>guy who is starting, and if he falls off in form,

149
00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:15.720
<v Speaker 2>then the next guy's up. And you know, like I said,

150
00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:19.240
<v Speaker 2>our bench is really strong this year. And you know

151
00:07:19.319 --> 00:07:22.120
<v Speaker 2>one thing that we need to do. We've proven to

152
00:07:22.120 --> 00:07:24.360
<v Speaker 2>the league now that we're a tough out man. We're

153
