Arizona United Michael Dellorusso offers his thoughts following Arizona United Soccer Club's 2-1 win over Sacramento Republic FC

PEORIA, Ariz. (Tuesday, April 22, 2014) – Head coach Michael Dellorusso can build off of the momentum Arizona United Soccer Club gained following the club’s historic 2-1 win over Sacramento Republic FC on Saturday.

Dellorusso’s thoughts are below…

(On what he said to the team at the beginning of today’s training session regarding the historic victory…)

DELLORUSSO: “I told them it was a special night, and we all know that, but now we just have to learn from it. We use it as another game and another stepping stone for us. Trying to not think about it too much, but as I told the team. It’s a lot easier to learn from a win, than from a loss.”

(On what positives he took from the match…)

DELLORUSSO: “Attitude. They worked hard, and they worked together. We still have a long way to go before we are the team we want to be.”

(On the performance of Jonathan Top and Matt Kassel…)

DELLORUSSO: “They are two guys that bring it every day, which is nice. They had good games, but I still expect a little bit more out of both of them. I think they know that, but I think at the end of the day they had good performances.”

(On preparing for LA Galaxy II with a shorter week…)

DELLORUSSO: “It doesn’t really affect us too much. We try to take it like any other week. We got a good session in today, with a little bit of recovery from the weekend. Just using it as another step in the process. It’s not bad because we will be prepared for Friday. Just got to get their legs back a little bit right now.”
