CHICAGO FIRE 1 INTER MIAMI 4 FRANK KLOPAS Post Game Conference

hey Frank Joe chatz on Tap Sports Net uh how are you uh in in terms of just handling this result what do you think uh kind of contributed to it and uh how does this team bounce back quickly if possible yeah I mean I think you saw the game I think that for me when you look at uh the score it it paints for me personally you can see the game too he paints a different picture of uh the game that was played on the on the pitch we came out first 25 minutes I felt we were very good we had opportunities we didn't get the goal we made obviously we got a little bit unlucky at the first goal we knew it they played a little combination play and you know unlucky with the ball going in with Toby we came inside we wanted we talked about couple things how to buil how to build up with the ball and how to build pressure a little bit more and then you know I think when you play a team that has quality like them I think it's you know you have to limit your mistakes and I think that's for me what cost us I mean a few individual mistakes that they converted and and then you know when you're down 3-0 you push the game we got the first goal you take more risk to get back into into the game the crowd got into it and uh you know we gave up the fourth goal but for me I felt the team that we had really good moments and then just the individual you it happens in games you make mistakes and the other team you know uh takes advantage of that and you know we had good moments in the first half that I think we didn't convert and it would have been a different story if we would have been the ones getting uh that that first goal so you know we move forward this game is behind us I mean obviously we have to look at certain things uh and discuss uh next week and put this game behind us and then we just have to look forward guys seven games left and uh you know we we keep going till the end hey coach Jim Alexander real talker um Miami is a measuring stick for for teams in the league to to what you aspire to be in a sense um from playing them and then sort of seeing how you felt about the game what will it take to the fire to to be sort of on a team of that level what do you think needs to happen organizationally and playerwise in the sense that we are sort of a team that competes with teams like that on the same level in a sense or same standing yeah but we played them last year what was the score last year here 41 okay so we you compete in this in this in this league everyone can tell you how we compete tell him to send message to us and then maybe we get him healthy and then uh we know but we played last year and it was in details you know we we came out in that game you know they got the first goal we were able to to get that goal uh we came out the second half and it's just now who throws the next punch we had opportunities in transition that we converted today was the opposite we made the mistakes and we paid for them so it's not I think for me for me we don't have you know long way to go we don't yes you have a team that's first in the table but you know for me it was it was details I think teams like this when you make you know they take advantage of opportunities and mistakes you make and they did and you know on the other hand we didn't convert it could have been a different story but that's the game uh for me it's uh you know I believe in my team you know and we're going to fight till the end with this group I believe we have the quality to to be in the playoffs I do we haven't been consistent you know uh that's for sure up to this point you know I can look at many different things just like other teams but right now we're at the table it is what it is you cannot hide when we're here you know uh we cannot hide from the fact that consistent he hasn't been there so you know uh we need to to find a way till the end and keep going that that that's the only way and then we can look the season's over then we can address different things but you know I think for me the game was in details you saw last year it was 4-1 this year was a different story but that that can happen man I thought Jory Alba was here he looks like J Alba right there huh right there you with the blue I said man this guy played and changed so quickly and he came in here hi coach uh kol anastas of extra time talk obviously from a game like this uh sometimes it's hard to look at the positives but the triple substitution you made 15 minutes into the second half seemed to be extremely impactful all three players making a drastic impact on the match how satisfied are you with uh their Performance Off the Bench and how much does that influence inuence your plans tactically for the upcoming I mean I just think look we made changes this game also you know I mean f came in he hasn't been involved in a while with the team and you know I think the thing is that we have to assess guys how they how they are doing also the training how they recover who's in good form I mean you don't see it so a lot of decisions are also based on that uh the good thing is you know this competition we have guys that are healthy you know uh Pinera was a not available there's always something last second you know and Chase but the rest of the group is there and now there's good competition and you know it's what you do there and in the training P so you're going to get on the field that always helps makes it a better you know training environment guys have to to push and we Tred you know as difficult as it is try to make the best decisions for the team and uh I think once you do that the players will respect it I don't expect players to be happy when they're in and out but I think the guys they came in maybe some didn't start today you know but it happens if you know you're out of form you don't play well the other guys are in form you know it's a team so we try to find the right com I felt we we did I thought we started really well and then again it's just those little things I felt that uh didn't go our way today you know we learn from him we move on just frankf H I would like to ask you uh you play a a combat game with New York uh City last weekend and then this game was totally different uh you say in the in the press conference in midweek that you're going to press in the beginning and you did but obviously the other team scor uh you got two more games at home so what is your perspective uh uh going forward for these two games the thing with this game the difference was when we went down two- Z obviously we came out we made a mistake they capitalize then it's always the next play is the most important thing you know in New York we got that goal and then even late the momentum had changed you know we came out the half really positive again we made some tactical adjustments I think the team kept well we gave up the second goal okay now if we would have got the one goal back at 2-1 then momentum would have shifted again we weren't able you know we pushed and then you give up the third goal at that point then it becomes really difficult you know we got the one goal back you take risk you're pushing a game you're opening yourself up against team that has a lot of quality and you know sometimes uh you have to take some risk you know calculated risk you know what you're going to give up on the other end you're trying to push the game in a certain way we put a lot of attacking guys in there and we didn't get that second goal if we would have I felt things could have been maybe different also and exciting till the end so the difference is don't give up the third goal always at two- zero we always have a chance or don't give up the second goal okay guys thank you [Music]
