Phoenix Rising Head Coach Pa Modou-Kah:
On his thoughts on the match…
“I think we made critical mistakes at the wrong time… group errors. We gave them the game and it looked like we did not fight enough.”
On positives to take into next week…
“There’s no positive takeaway besides we gotta be ready to fight, we still have everything in our hands.”
On message going into a rivalry game…
“Desire.”
Phoenix Rising Assistant Coach Vikram Virk:
On his thoughts on the match…
“Of course, a little disappointing from us. We know that’s not the performance we know we can deliver, so result and performance, disappointing.”
On positives to take into next week…
“Listen, there’s four games to fight for, and we’re gonna fight till the end. So it’s now recharge, refocus, and make sure we’re ready for the derby next week against New Mexico, and tackle it a game at a time.”
On message going into a rivalry game…
“Fight. That’s it, I mean—fight. Fight. You gotta give everything you can when you’re on that pitch, so make sure we’re up for the battle.”
Phoenix Rising Midfielder Jean-Eric Moursou…
On his thoughts on the match…
“I think for the game, we started the game slowly. You take two goals in the first period, the comeback is tough for us. I think it’s not finished though. We need to give it our all again, in our remaining four games.”
On positives to take into next week…
“I think this game is already past. You lose the game, you need to go back and work hard to come again, to give a good game. You know, it’s four games remaining. You need to give it all for the four games, I think. You need to go back to work, to see what is not working like today. You need to give it your all for the rest of the games.”
On message going into a rivalry game…
“I think New Mexico is a big team, they play well. It’s not finished. I think New Mexico is like a derby match. You need to go back to work hard to see what is not working, to give our best for the rest of the games, especially New Mexico.”
