KANSAS CITY, Kan. – Anyone who thinks Wade Barrett has given up on the Houston Dynamo this season – and on his hopes of having the “interim manager” tag taken off for 2017 – should have heard him in his postmatch news conference.
Barrett made his feelings clear, both in what he said and in a telling moment when he was unable to speak.
“I know where we are in the standings, but every single game matters to me,” Barrett said on Friday night, after Raúl Rodríguez's stoppage-time goal salvaged a 3-3 draw for the last-place Dynamo against Sporting Kansas City.
