INTERIM LA GALAXY II HEAD COACH JUNIOR GONZALEZ

On the match and how he prepared the team on short notice:

“I only had one practice with the group, so my main focus was our defensive pressure and trying to clamp this team centrally because they are very good wide. In the first half we really didn’t do it as well, but in the second half we defended collectively and sprinted together to close spaces and I felt in the second half they did a better job with it.

I really didn’t get to touch the attack, but I knew with the personnel that this group has some really good attacking abilities so my focus was to just keep the team more compact with less space between the lines.
