POSTGAME QUOTES: New England Revolution II 0 at Tormenta FC 4
Revolution II Head Coach Clint Peay
On Colby Quinones hitting 1,000 minutes:
Peay: "He brings good energy every game and he fights for every play."
On Tormenta FC's defense:
Peay: "They had a good game plan. They sat back and absorbed pressure. They were compact which made it hard for us to break them down and they set themselves up well for the counter attack."
On regrouping ahead of the season finale:
Peay: "They've just got to learn from it. We got outplayed and the response that you show come Saturday will show a little of what your character is made of. The last time we lost 4-0 [at Chattanooga], we played the same opponent we're going to play on Saturday [in Forward Madison] and they beat us by four. So it's important for us to have short memories, think about the positive parts of the game that have been successful, and try to focus on those things."
Revolution II Defender Colby Quinones
On passing 1,000 professional minutes:
Quinones: "I'm really excited to hit the 1,000-minute mark. It's definitely one of my better personal achievements. I've had a lot of help on the way to get to this point and hopefully it's the first of many 1,000 minutes."
On defending against Tormenta FC's counter attacks:
Quinones: "I think we were just one step too late to everything. I think we got beat and they played very well. So we just have to learn from that and be quicker next time."
On struggling to create chances:
Quinones: "We unfortunately went down 3-0 pretty quickly and then after that they just dropped back and held a pretty low block so it was tough to break through them. They had a lot of numbers defensively getting behind the ball and it was just tough to break them down."
