Pauno Chat: “We Have To Get Better”

In the wake of the Chicago Fire’s 4-3 loss to Sporting Kansas City in their first game of the 2018 MLS Season, head coach Veljko Paunovic met with reporters to reflect on the game.

Pauno’s main takeaway from tonight: this team isn’t good enough yet.

“I think especially in the first half we weren’t ready to compete with a team that had the advantage that they had [by playing] a [league] game before we did. The adjustment in the second half was tremendous, and I think showing that we can score those kind of team goals that quickly and create more opportunities was a positive.
