WILFRIED NANCY

"The win feels good. Seven games in 21 days was heavy. We played against good teams and finishing with a win at home will be good for everyone. The players will come back much fresher after the break, and we'll go on to another big stretch of games. The guys deserve this break. Atlanta had the ball longer than us, but the players defended well against a very good team. The players found the necessary resources, they didn't give up. Today they found a way to win. The opponent gave us a lot of problems, but they found a way to win."

JAMES PANTEMIS

"It was an important game for us, a six-point game. We approached this one as a playoff match. We wanted to show that what happened on Wednesday was just a bad performance. I told the guys to take our frustration from last game and bring it with us to the game tonight."

DJORDJE MIHAILOVIC

"One of the things about this group is we understand situations. It was important that we got our minds right. We forgot about Wednesday against New England. We put all our focus into this game. We knew Atlanta was in good form. It was the same situation as Columbus where a win would give us breathing room and a loss would put us in a difficult spot. The most important thing is the team. My job is to create as many chances as I can. Statistics just say I'm doing my job. If I give everything mentally and physically, then I'll have no regrets. I knew I had to give everything for this team."
