NY RED BULLS VS PHILADELPHIA UNION SANDRO SCHWARZ

good afternoon Sandra hope you well um has Mr cabalo already entered the premises and at the same time how exciting is it to take on uh the Philadelphia Union this weekend as it has been a very long time since a three-point victory has been uh achieved by this side uh for a very long time yeah first of all we are happy now that he's here um Felipe Cabo and he will join tomorrow our team training session and then we will decide after the training session uh how will be the decision then for for the game on Saturday against Philly and against a very good opponent especially now in the last weeks and they had very good games uh in the leagues cup and also very good results uh last game was a little bit unlucky then with this penalty situation so but uh this is what we have to prepare against Philly and uh yeah we we know the numbers against Philly especially the last games I think the last 12 games I think so we we didn't win as a club against Philly so on satday is a big opportunity for us uh for for me as a head coach for the whole club for for the whole team so but it's not our main part now to to to beat them because of the results before for for us is more than our our um Target then to do everything uh that we keep these three points in our stadium with our great um supporters next we go to Michael Lewis hi Sandro uh this isn't about the Philly game but uh about uh next week with the international po come on first of all we have the game on Saturday H I like your sense of humor um you're going to be losing Lewis Morgan um to Scotland and MLS doesn't follow uh FIFA international dates I was wondering if you how much you'd like to see MLS follow these dates so you want have to lose a key player like LS Morgan it's not the first time to be honest it's the first time that we have this situation we had this uh home game against inter Miami um second uh National break was I think was uh on the road in uh in Boston against New England so it's not the first time we have experience uh with that so but our main focus is tomorrow training session to have the best preparation tomorrow to have the best video meeting so this is my part it's my responsibility uh to bring our team in the best spot for Saturday and uh main focus is Saturday and next week we can talk about how we solve the situation then uh without Lis Morgan or then also Noah Isa next Christian Ortiz hi good afternoon coach good afternoon wanted to ask you I just wanted to ask you an update on email force uh when can fans expect him to be on the field yeah he's uh he's coming back on the field the next days for his individual program so we can then uh increase his load individual um so then we have to look uh then how how does it work with him individual um on the field and uh I can't say now it's 10 days it's 14 days this is 3 weeks something like that so but but uh I'm pretty sure that he will come back U as quick as possible so but uh it's a question now I think what would say from 10 days till maybe 3 weeks like this next we go to Joe panoro hey Sandra I hope you're well um just to stay on em here for a second is there a certain hurdle in particular he's having trouble clearing whether it's you know just running at full speed or when it comes to making a cut is there like one final issue that he's maybe having trouble with here or is it a multitude of things you mean with Amil no it's it's a it was the injury after the national break which he which he had so and we have to protect him and we have to build him up uh in in our way and in and also um not to to bring him in this spot then maybe that he comes back the the pain in in this issue so and this is the reason now but I'm sure and uh I can say this very clear I'm sure he will play in this season for us and hopefully but we have to make the first step hopefully then we have some games more in the playoffs but I'm sure that he will play in the season for sure next we go to Daniel forstein Andro um Andre Blake Philadelphia's keeper has been one of the best Keepers in this region of conaf what congratulations well he has been for a while I mean we can't deny that unfortunately but um he does well for Jamaica for the for the national team in goal but what what is the big plan to try to beat him you know when he's been such a big stalwart in in in MLS for such a long time yeah he's a he's a great goalkeeper for sure and but it's not like to be honest I didn't analyze now the last days uh uh in which corner we can shoot now or something like that so the only thing what I analyze is uh to bring our Strikers to bring our 10 positions to bring our fullbacks uh six position so depends uh on the on the structure which we are playing on Saturday to bring all these guys all our players in the best position and so and then is our job this is the main part and we talked a lot of times I know about about our chances but uh we are able to score and we scored last week in Charlotte in a difficult game so uh the last home game was against Cincinnati I think we scored three times it's correct so um so we are able to score and not to think about the goalkeeper um I I would say we have to think more about how we can create these moments and then we have the quality to score for sure next we got a vas how's it going coach thank you for the time just wanted to ask on the Philadelphia Union we've seen a few of their players uh depart and it's a little bit of a different look is that going to bring up any challenges for your team going up against maybe a few new faces and how have you prepared for that yeah it's uh depends on their structure what they are playing so um and uh La last the first game in this season they played with three center backs and this was then uh with 11 10 position two Strikers uh a little bit sometimes was one six position 28 position then uh yesterday against Columbus uh they played more in a 442 flat so and in the leagues cup most of the time they played the diamond structure so we will see and uh so we we can't to be honest we can't prepare every structure now so then it's uh too too much uh information for our guys um so our main focus is how we want to play against them we have to be we have to defend what is clear in all the structures of Philadelphia un Union is what we have to defend these deep runs with a lot of players uh they stay in the last line with 10 player with number 10 two Strikers eight positions sometimes they have four five players uh in the last line plus then also the fullbacks on the far side for the the diagonal ball so this is what we have to defend um very clear in our in our pressing but also then in our low block and this is what we can prepare and for sure then and this is necessary also on on Saturday to create our moments with the ball and we had uh against Charlotte a lot of good buildup situation lot of good moments and this is what we have to create as well on on Saturday and now it's uh we are happy then also we are looking forward then after four or five weeks we are coming in our Stadium back the last game was against pachuka and the last game in the in the season was against Cincinnati so um we are now back in our stadium and with our supporters that is a good feeling and hopefully we can uh bring the best performance on the field and hopefully then for sure um to get these three points to celebrate all together with you next we got a [Laughter] Chris hello again coach uh with a few hours left in the European transfer window uh I know you have spoken with Jon talken do you expect uh anything to happen within the next hours um is the Outlook more like he's going to stay in the next for the rest of the season no no no nothing happened I I think uh the transfer window close tomorrow in Europe I'm not sure tomorrow or day after tomorrow um but no he's so he's tomorrow in our training session in our video session and he will be in the starting lineup on uh Saturday everyone we have time for two more questions with Coach if anybody has one come on next we go to Voss no no question ah we have one how's it going coach uh just uh want to ask you again on regards to Philadelphia Union set piece's abilities because they've been pretty strong the last few years but it's been a little bit of a mixed year for them so how can you try to capitalize on those situations yeah it's a especially in this period of the season it's a it's a big part because this is then in detail that can makes the different uh in which side um um goes the the game on and is this on your side or is then on the opponent so this is a a big part in in detail then and our assistance coaches they are um they analyzed very well all the set pieces all the corners all the free kicks uh throwin all these situations first of all which we have to defend and then uh on the other side uh where we can find hopefully the space uh and first of all we have to bring uh um a perfect cross uh from from uh as a corner so this is what we have what we train and what we analyzed and we will see hopefully we can we can uh score in in these moments and the other side we have to defend very strong these DS and we'll finish up with Joe Panton now Sandra just to go back to phip Galo for a second how important is it to have somebody with a little bit more of a veteran presence somebody who's played on some pretty big stages coming into this portion of the Midfield where you have been relying on some some younger players this season yeah I think yeah yeah it's it's important it's we want to build up our team for sure also um we know our philosophy our our identity as well um that we want to improve and to develop as a team and uh but when you have some experienced players and uh and also that they have the experience to win something with the club and uh Philipe won a title as well so I think this is then also um very good for the whole group to have these players and with with this quality and now we are happy that we have this this uh this situation on our sixth position eth position and it could be then also that we have now the possibility to change maybe the structure in some moments because when you have a lot of very good Central Midfield players then maybe you can also switch sometimes to for for Diamond so that gives us uh yeah more solution maybe in in another structure [Music] oh
