Nicholas Hagen: Fui el último en enterarme de que era titular

can um obviously against Kansas City Patrick had just come back and your coach made it clear that you were starting before Miami he said he wasn't sure can you talk about just the lead up to that Miami match when you found out you were and when you found out you were starting and what was that conversation like um yeah I think as as the group I found out in the last moment I think this is uh tactic to keep us all in the game keep keep us ready uh it hasn't changed I'm always fighting for for a start and if like that day I I was happy of course you you're excited about the game but you're focused on the goal that is to win and we work for that and we keep on doing the same things what message did it kind of tell you that your coach was said that you started this competition he wanted to stick with you what does that kind of tell you and does it help your confidence at all of course yeah it gives us um the confidence of of what we're doing it's it's working we're progressing and uh as a team we have a goal and we're we're achieving it so for me it's it's it's a reassuring of what I'm doing it's right and keep working on that and do you feel different at all when you in those days before I know you said your mindset you're always in the game but training knowing there's a possibility it could be you Patrick how does that internal kind of competition does it doesn't change I think I work and and go through the week the the same as if I would play and if I wouldn't so um having that concentration there at the end of the day I'm a goalkeeper you never know what could happen you never know if like for example those the S like game you have to be ready you have to be be focused you cannot be like Oh I'm not going to play here I'm going to lay low no you have to be ready just in case something happens and you have to step up so for me it's the same and what did it do to your for your confidence that went against Miami is especially in the second half once they started to make the comeback just falling into your role and making sure nothing else got past you yeah you you you come you come back to that uh okay we're back in it we we have to um lock it down for example for for say sorry um it was more of okay we're attacking so we have to have the defense the defensive setup really well I think Rudy did great during the the whole match um not just him the entire and everybody did amazing job and I think it's just a group effort that came in like completion of the comeback yeah [Music]
