THIERRY HENRY

"We placed ourselves in a difficult situation at the start, but we got back after. I liked the selflessness and the work. Shamit was good tonight. He didn't play for a while, and it was in a difficult role. He caused a lot of problems to this Chicago team. We played against a really good team that plays really well. But I am proud of my players, even more in the situation that we are. We try to play. We will make mistakes, but we try to build and play."

SHAMIT SHOME

"It was good to go back home and get that break. Guys were able to recharge their batteries. We are disappointed not to win, but overall, we showed that we wanted to win. It was difficult to play in this position today, but there is a reason why my coach trusts me in that position. For me it's about being versatile. Even if I was out of position, I felt comfortable. It's about staying prepared every day to show the coaching staff that I am ready to play."

LASSI LAPPALAINEN

"Conceding a goal like the first one is never good. It was important to score that goal in the first half after. I think in football when you are up one goal, the other team put more pressure on you, and we haven't been able to handle it in the second half. We need to be stronger in our own box and I miss chances too, so we need to be better in the other box too."
