DC Power Football Club Post-Match Quotes

Head Coach Omid Namazi

On the match result...

"We were chasing the ball a lot as opposed to keeping the ball and that's our style of play, we want to keep the ball a little bit more," Namazi said. "Tonight, we could not connect three passes in a row. The only few times we did, we ended up with a shot but it was far and few in between."

On how to reset for the upcoming match and push towards the playoffs...

"We had a hill to climb up, now it's a little bit of a mountain to climb up," Namazi said. "At the same time, we've shown for the majority of the season that we can play good soccer. Now, we have to learn from this game."

Forward Gianna Gourley

On DC Power FC's performance against Tampa Bay...

"They wanted it more and were tackling harder and getting to 50-50 balls and second balls more than we were with more desire," Gourley said. "We have to go back to the drawing board, dig deep down and climb out of the little hole that we created tonight."

"I think tonight we just didn't show who DC Power is or what our character is," Gourley said. "It's a game that we need to obviously learn from but also throw away, come back and embody what DC Power is and its fight energy and good soccer."
