SKCvORL Quotes: "It's one of the best games we have played so far this year"
It was good to get to 2-0. We go down a man. It's a combination of two things. You have got to really compact the field. We have got to stay as almost two lines. It's not three really, it's two. And the wingers have a big job in that situation. That is, they have to become outside backs at times when the ball is on the weak side. What I thought we did was we really clogged the middle and for us to get out on the counter like we did a couple times was huge. There was a great fight in the team from the opening whistle. We take the shot from the kickoff, which right away we go and press high. All of that was part of the intensity. It's definitely a replica of what has been happening over the last couple of weeks in the way that we've been training as well.
