SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES HEAD COACH MATIAS ALMEYDA
On Saturday’s match against Minnesota United FC:
“We lost against this team on two occasions [last year]. They have an excellent coach; excellent players and they have a challenging system of play. And obviously, with the competition within the league, every match is complicated, especially when you’re facing an opponent you were beaten by twice. We need to think about what we are going to modify in order to change that result. The day we played at their venue, their coach made a lovely gesture. Before the start of the match, he [Adrian Heath] invited my staff to spend time with his [staff] after the match.
