From New York Red Bulls :

Head Coach Sandro Schwarz

 

On tonight's result…..

Yeah, I would say, and I said this in the locker rooms. I agree, tough result, especially after seven, eight minutes with these individual mistakes, and then we came back and then directly after, after we scored, then we conceded directly with ten players. The third goal was tough. Tough game today. 

I think now it's a good point that we have the next game in four days and not to wait for seven or eight days. 

And so, this is what we must analyze tomorrow, the situation, not the game to be honest because this was a lot of individual mistakes; the situation, how we can solve our situation and then give the reaction on the field on Wednesday in Toronto. 

 

On tonight's mentality…

 

Yeah, the mentality didn't change now after this game to be honest, to the last weekend. It's not the topic of mentality today for me. Because after 2-0, we tried. We scored. So, then you concede directly the third goal, and then the fourth goal was also not good enough in our box defending. But I can't say, and I don't say, that we don't show the right mentality. That's too easy. For me, that's too easy, also, in this game. Because this is tough: Supporters, big game, derby. And when you then concede directly the second goal, and then especially the third goal; and for me, also, the second half, the guys on our team, they tried. They tried to score, then, also, and maybe to make this 4-2. For me, it's not the mentality in the game. For me, it's more to handle the situation now, the pressure. So, I agree about the pressure, how we feel in some moments now, before the game maybe, big games like this. And this is what we must handle and what we must develop then, also, for our next step.

 

On Forsberg coming on the bench…

 

This was the plan, also, that he's able to play today 25, 30 minutes. And yes, you can see in these moments, especially in our offense, that he's able with his quality to play the final pass, and he had a lot of good moments and is also much easier than to come off the 4-1 to come in after this long-term injury. But this is the quality which we need then, also, and this behavior as a leadership.

 On the first ten minutes…

 

It’s a tough game for us. A lot of individual mistakes. I put myself up over there, the first goal we conceded was hard. And then, for sure, this was a little bit hard for us to concede the second goal so quickly. And then to find the first goal, to come back, and then again, in one minute, concede another goal. A lot of high moments in the game–but what the coaches say, we now must come back the next games.

 

On team pressure moving forward considering draws losses…

 

We know the pressure right now. I think it’s two months on the win again...The performance against Toronto, will show my quality, and today was a different game for us. We had a great week...Respect others like today but we know the pressure they have. We still believe in this team. I know we can finish this season well.

 

On what happened with the first goal…

 

The first goal was a buildup situation, and I tried to connect the pass to Edelman in this situation. And I made a mistake. I hit Moralez and then Moralez scored a goal. So, they say, to make a mistake in a game like today is hard, but this is what happened in the first goal.
