Speaker 1: It is that time where we take the tour of
Speaker 1: the W League in the USL and we take a
Speaker 1: trip down to Statesborough to catch up with our friends
Speaker 1: down at Tormenta.
Speaker 2: He is properly hydrated. He is ready to go.
Speaker 1: He is gassed up and ready to talk about the
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five season. Ken Brownie, the new head coach
Speaker 1: for a Tormento's USL W League franchise, Thanks for dropping
Speaker 1: by for a one v one.
Speaker 3: We really appreciate it absolutely, John, thanks for having me.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 1: So when and I know that your time is you know,
Speaker 1: before your time in Statesboro, you got to spend some
Speaker 1: time at USC Beaufort and you got to find out
Speaker 1: what it's like to be a lane and shark and
Speaker 1: all those kinds of things.
Speaker 2: When you first.
Speaker 1: Wandered in under the arch there at torment what was
Speaker 1: your first impression of the organization on the whole as
Speaker 1: you were working your way toward the women's side.
Speaker 3: Actually, zero expectations.
Speaker 4: I actually have a little bit longer history with Tormenta
Speaker 4: in terms of the the original leadership in terms of
Speaker 4: on the soccer side, So I had for USLW absolutely
Speaker 4: zero expectations. Just I thought it was amazing to see
Speaker 4: what Darren and Nietzche have done here in Statesboro in
Speaker 4: terms of building the stadium, the training grounds, what they've
Speaker 4: done for the first team, then how they've set up
Speaker 4: the U structure underneath it.
Speaker 3: So super impressed.
Speaker 4: When when my wife and I moved here back in
Speaker 4: twenty twenty for that USCB job, as you mentioned, for me,
Speaker 4: there was really only one club that I was going
Speaker 4: to work for outside of USCB, and that's that's been
Speaker 4: Tormento the whole time.
Speaker 1: So when you then for those that follow the WA League,
Speaker 1: they know about the successes that the franchise had and
Speaker 1: and check going up to Minnesota Aurora and the you know,
Speaker 1: and going in front of that big crowd and coming
Speaker 1: home with a with a championship and and everything that
Speaker 1: has been built from day one there with the program.
Speaker 1: With Jim Robbins departing to go be the the head
Speaker 1: women's coach up at v M, I uh, what was
Speaker 1: the process like did you sit there and raise your
Speaker 1: hand and sit there and point and go me, me, me,
Speaker 1: What was that it's like, yeah, yeah, I want this
Speaker 1: gig or what was the process like to have you
Speaker 1: take the step to be the man in charge.
Speaker 3: I was. I tell you this, I was.
Speaker 4: I was definitely interested, uh in getting back in on
Speaker 4: the women's side of the game. I didn't stand up
Speaker 4: and shout exactly me, me me, uh, but what might
Speaker 4: have mentioned to some leadership or some key key people,
Speaker 4: uh Darren being one of them, and Brad and I
Speaker 4: and the head of the youth club being the other,
Speaker 4: and just said, hey, listen, if you're if you're struggling,
Speaker 4: uh in terms of timing to this and in terms
Speaker 4: of timing to Jim's departure, and you know, you want
Speaker 4: to send me the details what a look so like?
Speaker 4: I wouldn't mind looking it over at least, So couldn't
Speaker 4: be Actually, couldn't be more thrilled to be in this position.
Speaker 4: It has been a fantastic first two weeks with the team.
Speaker 4: It's just such a fun environment and the progress and
Speaker 4: the pathway that's been laid before I got here. It's
Speaker 4: just incredible. The setup we have done you. I don't
Speaker 4: know how much detail you have, but the support staff
Speaker 4: is amazing. So the professionalism of the environment is it
Speaker 4: is probably the best environment I've ever worked in. So
Speaker 4: loving it right now.
Speaker 2: Stylistically, how would you describe yourself as.
Speaker 3: A coach stylistically in terms of tactics.
Speaker 1: Well, now, tactics, emotion, the whole thing. It's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you wander out there. Who are you when it comes
Speaker 1: to you know, the folks that you might have followed
Speaker 1: in the past, the folks that you sit there and
Speaker 1: you're up late at two or three o'clock in the
Speaker 1: morning looking at YouTube videos and sitting there going yeah, okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm with this person. Who are those folks that you
Speaker 1: gravitated toward to come up with your style, whether it's emotionally,
Speaker 1: tactically all of that.
Speaker 4: Oh wow, that's a complicated answer. Everybody from my My
Speaker 4: influence is everybody from my college coach to my father
Speaker 4: to uh the the original leader of a top Hat
Speaker 4: soccer club in Atlanta, which is one of the most
Speaker 4: famous girls youth club, Cy Strickler, you know, to to
Speaker 4: being able to work through the n s C Double
Speaker 4: A with antson Dorrance and and and and people like that,
Speaker 4: learning uh, not just from the best of but also
Speaker 4: from their mistakes. So oftentimes when you when you participate
Speaker 4: in these coaching courses, you sit in education symposiums and
Speaker 4: a lot of the stuff these guys will tell you,
Speaker 4: or these coaches will tell you is not everything they've
Speaker 4: done right.
Speaker 3: And I think those those those influences have.
Speaker 4: Been huge on my life, not just the soccer side
Speaker 4: of it, but just life in general.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 4: Stylistically, I'm not a screamer. I'm maybe not as uh,
Speaker 4: you know, I call it Jim, mister Buddha. I'm maybe
Speaker 4: not exactly mister Buddha. I'm maybe a little bit more intense.
Speaker 4: I try to tone that down a little bit. But
Speaker 4: I'm not.
Speaker 3: Afraid to.
Speaker 4: Encourage the players and get after them, and we, you know,
Speaker 4: to bring the intensity and the sessions. Our goal, Our
Speaker 4: goal is simple, can we repeat what we did, you know,
Speaker 4: three or four years ago?
Speaker 1: So how tall an order is that to try and
Speaker 1: get back to what happened three or four years ago?
Speaker 1: Considering how the landscape has changed, the game itself has evolved,
Speaker 1: all of the different markets that are now engaged in
Speaker 1: the USLW competition. I mean literally, it is coming up
Speaker 1: in a bunch of key soccer towns here and there,
Speaker 1: and here and there, and so competitions increased in both
Speaker 1: intensity and in number. And you want to go back
Speaker 1: to where you were How much of a challenge is
Speaker 1: that for Tormentedy.
Speaker 3: Massive, Absolutely massive.
Speaker 4: I can't say our expectations is to come in here
Speaker 4: and roll over everybody and win every game and absolutely
Speaker 4: win a National CHAMPIONSHP. We're gonna have to work at it,
Speaker 4: and we have to put it in and put in
Speaker 4: the time on the training field, and we're going to
Speaker 4: have to have some fortune along the way as well,
Speaker 4: some incredible opponents within our own conference, and as you mentioned,
Speaker 4: like the growth of the game for with the USL
Speaker 4: Super League plus the teams that have expanded into the.
Speaker 3: USLW it's a super tall order. We also don't have.
Speaker 4: You know, we have some amazing players, but I couldn't
Speaker 4: speak highly enough of you know, City Martinez and Goal
Speaker 4: in the original lineup, er and Amy Andrews up top.
Speaker 4: So we've got some big shoes to fill.
Speaker 1: When you know, and I know that when you are
Speaker 1: a head coach or you know you're in a position
Speaker 1: of stature, you always want to embrace the kind of
Speaker 1: challenge that is there. And in Tormentous case, it is
Speaker 1: maintaining that level of excellence and going back to where
Speaker 1: it was when you were getting the championship, when you're
Speaker 1: trying to prepare a roster for a.
Speaker 2: Season in the W League.
Speaker 1: How much of a challenge is that because you're trying
Speaker 1: to you know, hit the ground running at seventy five
Speaker 1: miles an hour, and because you really can't kind of,
Speaker 1: you know, blend your way into a season because by
Speaker 1: the time you think you might have blended your way in,
Speaker 1: you're at the tail into the regular season and you're
Speaker 1: trying to sit there and do math to figure out
Speaker 1: what you might need to do to get into season
Speaker 1: three in the playoffs. So what's it like, roster assembly
Speaker 1: trying to get something where you know you've got to
Speaker 1: have it and you've got to have it like right
Speaker 1: at ground zero to make sure that you can get
Speaker 1: to a postseason and chase the title.
Speaker 4: Uh And and this year being the timing of Jim's
Speaker 4: departure for vmis you left us even in a more
Speaker 4: hectic situation in terms of as someone that roster. But uh, again,
Speaker 4: the support staff here at Torments is excellent, So Sam Jones,
Speaker 4: the assistant coach, there's tons of connections across across the country.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 4: I have to till my hat to Jim as well,
Speaker 4: because Jim was still very helpful in the transition period,
Speaker 4: helping connect us with players that he had already previously recruited,
Speaker 4: getting some of that talent back.
Speaker 3: But you're you're not wrong.
Speaker 4: It's it's a short two weeks in terms of training
Speaker 4: leading into your first game and trying to have all
Speaker 4: your all your players and all your all your thoughts
Speaker 4: and all your tactics ready for that that first match.
Speaker 4: And there's there's teams again in our conference. I think
Speaker 4: Carolina has sent uh, you know, put on quite a
Speaker 4: performance the other night against Fusion. I think I think
Speaker 4: the Ascent also have some you know, players in camp
Speaker 4: already for their Super League teams, so they're you know,
Speaker 4: we're we're definitely against it.
Speaker 1: Ten on the board for Carolina Ascent in their ten
Speaker 1: to three win. And just so folks know, this season,
Speaker 1: you're in the South Atlantic Division, so it's Carolina Ascent,
Speaker 1: Charlotte Eagles, North Carolina Fusion. You encourage you twenty threes,
Speaker 1: South Carolina United, Bantams and Wake FC. When you look
Speaker 1: at this division, you mentioned the challenge obviously with a
Speaker 1: scent at the top of the ladder immediately out of
Speaker 1: the blocks, But when you look at this division on
Speaker 1: the whole. What speaks out to you about the talent
Speaker 1: level and the challenges that are here this year.
Speaker 4: Oh, quality of the players that these teams have, but
Speaker 4: also the quality of the organizations that are supporting them.
Speaker 4: So I think that Charlotte Eagles have been around since
Speaker 4: I was a kid, so they they're not to be
Speaker 4: taken lightly a cent obviously at the top of the
Speaker 4: Super League right now and have a massive roster, excellent
Speaker 4: coaching staff, good organization NC Courage before they were Courage
Speaker 4: in their n CFC and thirty years ago Castle Like
Speaker 4: they've been one of the monster youth clubs in the
Speaker 4: entire country. So they've got an incredible support system. So
Speaker 4: we are we are certainly hoping to finish at the top,
Speaker 4: you know, so we can get into playoffs, but we've
Speaker 4: we've got some work to do, especially against those top
Speaker 4: end teams.
Speaker 1: And I mean it's I know that it's it's a
Speaker 1: fun challenge, But at the same time, when it comes
Speaker 1: to the coaching pedigree and challenges, how much of a
Speaker 1: different challenge is this? Considering that you're trying to jam
Speaker 1: all of this stuff into this short space, you don't
Speaker 1: there's not a lot of build up. It's not like,
Speaker 1: you know, you're playing one hundred and sixty two games
Speaker 1: in Major League Baseball or something and you can you know,
Speaker 1: you have a game against the Pirates in the middle
Speaker 1: of July that you can sit there and maybe, you know,
Speaker 1: bring up a pitcher from the minor leagues. I mean literally,
Speaker 1: you've got to hit this, right, I mean, this is
Speaker 1: this is no messing around territory.
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, absolutely is not. I'll tell you that.
Speaker 4: The most impressive thing to me so far by the
Speaker 4: players we are able to recruit in and again credit to
Speaker 4: Sam Jones, credit to Jim Robbins, Uh than than other
Speaker 4: connections like this. The soccer community is much smaller than
Speaker 4: you think it is, and that the players we've been
Speaker 4: able to bring in uh have really, as you just said,
Speaker 4: hit the ground running. They've they've meshed so well together.
Speaker 4: We're really excited about Saturday. I can't say enough about
Speaker 4: the the the intensity and the focus of the players
Speaker 4: that we have here. Like most of the players that
Speaker 4: we've cruited in are are truly looking to go to
Speaker 4: the next level.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 4: Their aspiration isn't just to play with us at the
Speaker 4: w League. It's it's it's to continue to move on
Speaker 4: to get to the Super League. Players that want to
Speaker 4: go play in the Premier League with Newcastle and Amy
Speaker 4: Andrews and this and that like these, the players that
Speaker 4: we have are are are the reason we're.
Speaker 3: Going to have the success.
Speaker 4: Sam and I are just here to to organize and
Speaker 4: put them in the right system and let them do
Speaker 4: their thing all right.
Speaker 1: Time to brag a little bit for those that will
Speaker 1: be wandering in for the first time or might have
Speaker 1: their season tickets and they come and wandering to see
Speaker 1: the roster this year, who are some of the folks
Speaker 1: that will They will instantly gravitate hoard, whether it's offense
Speaker 1: or defense, what have you? Uh you know, it's like, oh, okay,
Speaker 1: now I know what I'm looking at with Tormento, who
Speaker 1: are we gravitating towards this year?
Speaker 4: I've got a returner and goal in Core Brendle big times.
Speaker 4: She's great with dealing with She's obviously on the tall side,
Speaker 4: she's excellent dealing with crosses and obviously all the perfect
Speaker 4: technique in terms of shot stopping and managing our box.
Speaker 4: We've got a new player, de Linda sol In from
Speaker 4: FIU that is just has been way better in person,
Speaker 4: even more so than she was on tape. And Fyu
Speaker 4: won their conference championship this past year. Chinatsu Kyo, that's
Speaker 4: playing going to play more in the midfield with us
Speaker 4: as a ten behind the Strikers. Super creative, great acceleration, Uh,
Speaker 4: incredibly technical. Then I think I think that our fans
Speaker 4: are going to be excited about the type of soccer
Speaker 4: we're going to play this year. So we've we've got
Speaker 4: some players up front and Constance at Gyuming and my
Speaker 4: Gier Sumier that's are going to be a force to
Speaker 4: be reckoned with. And I think at the professional level
Speaker 4: of the game, at this level, you have to have
Speaker 4: players up top that are are difficult. You got to
Speaker 4: have them produce. So I think our fans are going
Speaker 4: to enjoy that a good bit.
Speaker 1: Okay, So when things in a perfect world, when when
Speaker 1: things are humming along for you, how would you describe
Speaker 1: what folks are going to be seeing out out there
Speaker 1: on the pitch at at Tormentus Stadium. What's it what's
Speaker 1: it going to be looking like.
Speaker 3: Against the ball?
Speaker 4: You're going to see a well organized press in our system, uh,
Speaker 4: and the system that's set up for our for for
Speaker 4: the players that we have in camp to be successful, uh,
Speaker 4: to recover the ball quickly, to recover the ball higher
Speaker 4: up the field, but then also to break with skill.
Speaker 4: So we're you're not going to see us lumping balls
Speaker 4: into the box from the midfield area. You're going to
Speaker 4: see us using the ball and using our technical players
Speaker 4: to try to get in. So we're gonna we're gonna
Speaker 4: have some flair and creativity. You're gonna see players driving
Speaker 4: the in lines, getting in the box and scoring goals.
Speaker 1: And I know that you know you're you're you want
Speaker 1: you want folks to score goals. I know that with
Speaker 1: everybody that you've assembled, you also wanted to to get
Speaker 1: back on I feel like I should do this with
Speaker 1: my microphone, get you know, get back on defense.
Speaker 2: But I mean, and that's this key you got.
Speaker 1: I mean, we always get them back to this idea
Speaker 1: of making sure that everything meshes. Where in training camp
Speaker 1: do you think they are when it comes to understanding
Speaker 1: the messaging, understanding the game plan, and understanding what you
Speaker 1: are looking for them to do you and the staff
Speaker 1: are looking for them to do out there on the field.
Speaker 1: How do you think they're receiving it so far, and
Speaker 1: where do you think they are in the progress report.
Speaker 4: I think I'll say right now, we're ninety percent there.
Speaker 4: I think the ten percent is the the implement implementation
Speaker 4: of more confidence, and that's in the final third.
Speaker 3: Less doubt.
Speaker 4: I think that's any new group of players that you
Speaker 4: have in any type of preseason camp, or players coming
Speaker 4: together for the first time, they don't know each other,
Speaker 4: there's always a little bit of hesitation, a little bit
Speaker 4: of doubt and the fear of making mistakes. And one
Speaker 4: thing you asked a question earlier in this interview in
Speaker 4: terms of who I am as a coach, I'm the
Speaker 4: type of coach that wants to give the players confidence.
Speaker 4: I want them to be free to play, to use
Speaker 4: their talent, to get after the game, not worry about
Speaker 4: the mistakes, but move on and do the next thing.
Speaker 4: So I think we're about ninety percent there. We've had
Speaker 4: a great two weeks of training. I think we'll be
Speaker 4: one hundred percent there when we have that total focus
Speaker 4: of we're just gonna dominate our opponent in the final
Speaker 4: third and we're gonna we're gonna, We're gonna play without fear.
Speaker 4: The entire match and just enjoy it and enjoy each other.
Speaker 1: How difficult is that to play without fear knowing that
Speaker 1: you're on a short runway and it's like the on
Speaker 1: ramp is short. You know you got to hop on
Speaker 1: the freeway and you've got it. You want to play
Speaker 1: fearless or as fearless as you can get away with,
Speaker 1: knowing that almost things are amplified because of that runway
Speaker 1: that you're.
Speaker 3: On, because the window. I don't think there's another way
Speaker 3: to play, is there?
Speaker 2: No, that's true. I'm down with that.
Speaker 3: We're going for it. We're just going for it.
Speaker 1: Well, how long did it take you to come up
Speaker 1: with that idea of it to be comfortable in that
Speaker 1: as a part of your coaching DNA, it's like, all right,
Speaker 1: we're gonna we're gonna do our thing and they're gonna
Speaker 1: have to adjust to us. How long did it take
Speaker 1: you as a coach to sit there and go, Yeah,
Speaker 1: this this is me and this is who I am. Stylistically,
Speaker 1: from everyone that you've been able to glean advice from.
Speaker 4: In your career, I think maybe there's there's pieces along
Speaker 4: the way. I think there's there's certain things that are
Speaker 4: in your DNA that you've grown up with as as
Speaker 4: a player, and your your first your first couple of
Speaker 4: years of coaching, but I think really that's your your
Speaker 4: first ten years of coaching, you're at least on my
Speaker 4: side of a spend with too much ego. Then your
Speaker 4: next next five and ten years are kind of reflection
Speaker 4: and looking back on how do I get better? And
Speaker 4: then finally as you get twenty years in where I
Speaker 4: am now or twenty five years in now, then you're
Speaker 4: really your total focus has nothing to do with you.
Speaker 3: It's just the players.
Speaker 4: So what impact you can have on the players in
Speaker 4: terms of getting the most out of them?
Speaker 3: So what does it take?
Speaker 4: I don't know, twenty five years?
Speaker 2: But hey, it's it's hey, you know what, maybe maybe.
Speaker 3: It's maybe it's quicker for some you know I I'm
Speaker 3: you know, a slow learner.
Speaker 1: Well, but but at the same time, you know, you
Speaker 1: you want to be comfortable in your own coaching skin
Speaker 1: because you want to be the first. You want to
Speaker 1: be the first brownly you don't want to be the
Speaker 1: second so and so or the third son. So hey, yeah,
Speaker 1: you remind me of you know that that person over there.
Speaker 1: You want to be known for you and your style
Speaker 1: and your approach on the field and off. It's not
Speaker 1: just something where yeah, I'm gonna be the next Pep,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be the next Bielsa and you know I'm
Speaker 1: gonna do that. No, I want to be comfortable with
Speaker 1: me and I want folks to learn who I am
Speaker 1: and through what I'm trying to do.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I love that you just mentioned those guys.
Speaker 4: Those are like massive influences and in the game over
Speaker 4: the past twenty years, and like love to love to
Speaker 4: learn from them.
Speaker 3: Y Elsa is such an interesting character.
Speaker 4: So yeah, you have to you have to have your
Speaker 4: own identity and and and part of your identity as
Speaker 4: a coach has to do with the players around you
Speaker 4: in the environment that you're in as well. You know,
Speaker 4: we're not we can't all be Pep Guardiola. And we
Speaker 4: also don't have a you know, one hundred million dollar
Speaker 4: budget to work with a year, uh in terms of
Speaker 4: you know, bringing in the players you want versus the
Speaker 4: ones you don't.
Speaker 3: So uh.
Speaker 4: I can't speak enough to the coaches that have influenced
Speaker 4: my life and Jim, Jim's one of them. Jim's one
Speaker 4: of them, watching watching what he's done over the past
Speaker 4: four years here.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 4: Sam Jones is brought a fresh, unique perspective to me,
Speaker 4: and he's been a great influence so far on the
Speaker 4: team and a slid afying factor.
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, you're in a twelve match regular season sprint.
Speaker 1: Your first three are on the road. You've got three
Speaker 1: in a week, tough start, all on the road. You
Speaker 1: got to talk to the schedule maker. Man, It's like,
Speaker 1: it's like, can you can you help me out here
Speaker 1: a little bit? Uh, You're against Fusion on the road,
Speaker 1: against Charlotte on the road, against Courage on the road.
Speaker 1: Now are you going and coming back or are you
Speaker 1: staying out that whole week for team bonding?
Speaker 2: How's that gonna work?
Speaker 4: No, no going, going, going and coming back with some
Speaker 4: off days in between. I've got a two year old,
Speaker 4: so I can't say. The wife wouldn't give me the
Speaker 4: permission for the seven day road trip. So going and
Speaker 4: coming back and then having some off days and some
Speaker 4: training in between. So but I'm looking forward to the
Speaker 4: trips with the team. I think it's gonna be a
Speaker 4: ton of fun. But we've got to be smart for this.
Speaker 4: This this first week and a half, I think it
Speaker 4: is a super difficult start. But we've got an nice
Speaker 4: roster and we've got really twenty six players in camp,
Speaker 4: and we think we're going to be able to use
Speaker 4: utilize that well for the for these road games.
Speaker 1: So when when you're announcing, you know, hey, I'm a
Speaker 1: coach and we're getting a roster together, it is your
Speaker 1: phone blowing up? I mean, is it WhatsApp? Is it phone?
Speaker 1: How does this work? And is it one of those
Speaker 1: where uh, I don't know what this area code is.
Speaker 1: I don't know what this international code is. What what
Speaker 1: group have I been added to? And what's that? What's
Speaker 1: like the wildest part of the roster assembly that you've
Speaker 1: been able to come acros For me?
Speaker 4: Personally, I don't really I don't hit a ton of
Speaker 4: social media. I'm really only on Facebook and Instagram because
Speaker 4: my wife tells me I have to be so so
Speaker 4: just to support her business. So the probably the most
Speaker 4: interesting thing in terms of the recruiting aspect is the
Speaker 4: technical technology side of it. Had contacts through WhatsApp, contacts
Speaker 4: through Instagram messengers, contacts through Facebook messengers. So you definitely
Speaker 4: saw my social media what you call it appearances definitely
Speaker 4: add an up take for the first month and a
Speaker 4: half of recruiting.
Speaker 1: So how much study haul have you had so far
Speaker 1: to get ready for this first match? Uh?
Speaker 3: Not enough? Not enough.
Speaker 4: I'm I'm a fan of video and watching video, so
Speaker 4: I but then you have these questions. I like to
Speaker 4: have all the details answered, and in terms of that, like, hey,
Speaker 4: which which players did Fusion have in their their first
Speaker 4: two matches?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 4: Is it gonna be the same roster they we're gonna
Speaker 4: be playing against on the on the Saturday.
Speaker 3: So I like the details.
Speaker 4: I feel like I haven't had enough time to watch
Speaker 4: enough video, but I'll definitely be you know, between now
Speaker 4: and Saturday, six or seven hours on video and and
Speaker 4: and doing some scouting and analysis well.
Speaker 1: As always, it's great to catch up with our friends
Speaker 1: down in State Spur looking forward to the new season
Speaker 1: there with USLW and the man who is in charge.
Speaker 2: Uh are you gonna are you gonna sit on a
Speaker 2: Are you gonna sit on a bucket like Bielsa? Are
Speaker 2: you gonna pay? How are you stylistically gonna do this?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 4: I I typically stand most of the time, so maybe
Speaker 4: maybe not not quite. Urgen Klopp Uh not up and down?
Speaker 4: Not not jumping up and down here and you know,
Speaker 4: getting the fans into it, but uh maybe maybe maybe
Speaker 4: more peppish, Uh maybe maybe more Arnie Slot uh something
Speaker 4: like that.
Speaker 2: So yeah, that that's gonna be.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be fun to see the sprint so far
Speaker 1: in the regular season for us l W.
Speaker 3: Coach, it's great to see you, hey, thank you for
Speaker 3: having me.
Speaker 1: Congrats on the new gig, and we will be following
Speaker 1: what's going on with us l W.
Speaker 2: Soon.
