On what the next week looks like…

Forward Ihsan Sacko
On his thoughts on the match…
“Unfortunately, we didn’t control the game. After the first goal, we had to defend. Then (Colorado Springs) scored and put us in trouble. We didn’t do well with getting out from under the pressure.”
On what next week will look like…
“Hopefully the team is going to win the game. That it’s going to be a better version of us from here on out. We need to build confidence and find the success of victory once again.”
On what he wants to see going forward…
“I want to see us play with our personality and not just stay focused on the past game.”
