Oscar Pareja | Post-Match Comments | Orlando City SC at Sporting Kansas City

all right everyone we're going to wrap up with head coach Oscar prha uh Oscar we just spoke to faku and obviously not the result that the team was looking to jump back into the regular season on if you want to just start with your overall thoughts on the match tonight please uh okay uh obviously a very disappointed uh result a great opportunity for us to escalate on standings and and uh and obviously continue with what we have uh had in the last few games but definitely today was not a good day for us uh we start the game sharp uh had a few uh options to score uh but after that I thought we we didn't have a good game we were loaded in energy I thought we didn't have the intensity that has uh characterize this group all the time and um obviously we need to move on second help with Harless but I didn't I didn't see us with that willness that we all have I take the responsibility of us of course the preparation of the group and the reactions after this uh uh two weeks and uh today we we we didn't look the majority of the time like like a we are so disappointed we're going to review but we have to move on and continue what what is coming go to Michael citro for two Oscar thanks for your time um the obviously this is not a performance you expected from your team was was was there any sign of this in the last two weeks that that you might see a performance like this tonight just that lack of cohesion no not at all Michael really we were very uh optimistic today is uh we had a an inter squad over the weekend and and uh difficult to simulate the game but uh the metrics the numbers and everything tell us that we can continue with that momentum that we had but uh today I didn't see that energy and definitely with the players after the game we discussed and then the the energy wasn't there and it's a big responsibility for us as a coaches and as a players but uh you right Michael today was a very disappointing performance with the uh with the stoppage time included you guys played up a man for 35 minutes and did not register a shot on target I mean what obviously they they dropped their block low they stayed Compact and organized defensively but you know what can you do in that situation to I mean because that seemed like a Lifeline back into the game at that point right right no we had time uh enough uh to equalize the game especially when um they end up doing with uh playing with 10 players uh but uh you're right we didn't have uh uh the that resolution that eagerness and in the last 20 mes we were moving the wall but we didn't find spaces just to hurt him it looks like how we could have played longer uh without succeeding in the last uh part of the field we'll go over to Austin David for a couple Oscar when when the team concedes right before halftime after getting some good momentum especially in that first 10 minut it's how how disheartening is it just to you know going into the locker room and uh having just conceited and how did you kind of feel that the um the the mood was at the halftime kind of coming into the second half all right obviously it's frustrating when you have uh those opportunities that we create in the last 15 minutes and and and and recognize or see that the game is still one is still z z and then after that we can see the goal and we start draw in our level that's when I felt that we were not uh with the energy that we start the game or there a characteristic of the team and and uh and we couldn't get back to it we we couldn't get back to it and then in the second half not even with one more a player we couldn't impose a rhythm uh and uh and then definitely that's that's that's what happened there not excuses at all I thought we didn't have uh a a good game at all we we didn't play well the majority of them we just have uh 15 minutes in the first half when we were aggressive and we create our chances and then after that uh that's not the Orlando that we recognized kind of talked earlier in the week just about that that two week break of of having that good run of form leading into League's cup and then heading into that knockout round and then having this this big gap and trying to find that form back again how how do you kind of take this match now and and try and find that form again um you know with a result like this yeah we can we can look around and see uh uh reasons and U we can obviously just pass this frustration finding any of those things but uh this is uh this is not us and uh beside our just those 15 minutes we couldn't get our energy back it's not the Orlando City intensity that we play uh all the time so um not not excuses so we we can look up and and and see how it's been these two weeks obviously because it's our responsibility as a professionals but uh but we're not not excuses we we're prepared and we have the capacity and we have the the players and we have the coaches stuff just to be better than that
