March 31, 2023 – Major League Soccer (MLS) – Minnesota United FC News Release
GOLDEN VALLEY, Minn. – Hoping to secure their third-straight road victory and continue their unbeaten streak, Minnesota United will, for the first time, head to St. Louis CITY SC, the fresh yet fierce expansion club. Despite their recent entry into the league, CITY SC has been a powerhouse. St. Louis is a top the Supporters’ Shield standings, currently leads the Western Conference with 15 points, 15 goals, and has yet to lose. MNUFC earned an encouraging result at the weekend after a 1-1 draw against Vancouver and are among four clubs in MLS that are still unbeaten during this opening stretch of the season. Minnesota nearly returns to full strength this week after losing seven players to international duty. The Black and Blue will need to be strong in the attacking third and generate multiple scoring opportunities this weekend to reign triumphant in Missouri.
ADRIAN HEATH ON WHAT’S MADE ST. LOUIS SO GOOD THIS SEASON
“I think they’d be the first to say that [Joao] Klauss has had four or five back passes that he’s cut out and that was probably not something that they envisioned, but they’ve made the most of everything they’ve got. I’ve watched their last three games that they’ve played and they’ve got a good shape, well organized, obviously playing with a load of confidence now. They’ll be full of it at this weekend and we’re going to have it all on, but we proved when we went to Colorado and went to Dallas that if we get a unit behind the ball and break when we can, then we can be a problem for them also.”
HASSANI DOTSON ON HOW THE TEAM PLAYED WHILE MISSING SEVEN PLAYERS
“I think all that guys that came in stepped up. A lot of the guys on the team are capable to start around the league, and it showed the quality that they had. At the end of the day, to be the makeshift lineup, a tie is an OK result for us.”
CLINT IRWIN ON THE MATCH AGAINST VANCOUVER
“I thought we started a little slow but came into the game, and we had a lot of guys out there who were getting their debuts and showing how much depth we have in the team. I thought that we grinded a lot, maybe not our best effort with the ball but a lot of positives in terms of our resiliency and our togetherness. Unfortunately, we didn’t get the result that maybe we deserved for all of the hard work, but there are a lot of positives.”
