The San Jose Earthquakes are gearing up for an opponent they haven’t beaten over the last two years, but head coach Matias Almeyda was loose during his time with reporters via conference call Thursday afternoon.
Ahead of Saturday’s MLS is Back Tournament quarterfinal clash against Minnesota United, Almeyda laughed in responding to several questions and at one point when asked what needs to change this time against Minnesota, deadpanned, “I think the key will be to not allow goals.”
Whether he was in an especially good mood, or he has full confidence in his Earthquakes side, Almeyda is ready for a change against the Loons.
