Thierry Henry
"I think we had a really good first half. Each time we had the ball, we passed it, we played, we went on the wings and we found Zachary and Jorge. There was always action. The goal destabilized us, but we kept playing by passing to Saphir and Samuel. We tried to play forward and it helped us create in the opposing half. Our start to the second half was tough. But after the disallowed goal, we put more heart into the game."
Samuel Piette
"We showed a lot of character. It's too bad that it took a goal from them to wake up and be into the game, but we never quit. We had to defend and be solid and that's what we did. We created a lot of chances and I like how the team reacted."
Joel Waterman
"At the end of the day I'm just trying to be ready and take the opportunity when it comes. I have to step up and do the job. The confidence is high now. We're only one game in but it's a good feeling. It's our job to adapt to the formation. We talked about it as a team and during the week we have time to train on this."
