Feelings of pride outweighed those of defeat after the Montreal Impact fell to Club America in the CONCACAF Champions League final.
MONTREAL — Frank Klopas didn’t carry the air of a coach who had just endured a heavy defeat Wednesday as he addressed the media following the Montreal Impact’s 4-2 loss to Club America in the second leg of the CONCACAF Champions League final.
Instead of sitting down at the coach's designated table inside the news conference room of the Olympic Stadium, Klopas opted to stand as he proudly lauded his team’s performance in the tournament, as well as the four members of his technical staff who stood behind him.
