FC DALLAS POSTGAME QUOTES
Interim head coach Peter Luccin
Thoughts on the performance tonight…
“This game hurts, because I felt like we had so many chances to score, even at the final moments of the game. Talking about the attitude of the players, I have nothing but excellent things to say. In the end the game is about scoring. We concede a lot of goals and we always have to score three or four to win a game. We will head home, rest up and focus on the next challenge.”
Midfielder Tsiki Ntsabeleng
On the result…
“A little bit of luck wasn’t on our side. We showed good character to come back but, like I said, we needed a bit of luck to get the ball over the line to score the second and third goals.”
Forward Eugene Ansah
On the result tonight…
“This was a better response from the last game we played here. It is frustrating to not get the result. For me personally, I think the team responded well. We need to focus on the details and we need to just be strong. We need to do better in the next game.”
