SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES HEAD COACH LUCHI GONZALEZ
On shifting the focus to Saturday’s match at Austin FC:
“We have a really good team, and I am not talking about talent, I am talking about the collective spirit and attitude. I am talking about how they train with intensity, and I think we are a team that can beat anyone in the league home or away. We are in the league competing. In terms of bouncing back, it’s about moving forward quickly and getting to work, having a short memory, and that’s what we are going to do. I have to start with myself. We have to start as staff, but we have the group to do that. We believe. We want to respond, we want to stay united, and we want to be relentless in our next opportunity.”
