Christian Lattanzio addresses the media after Charlotte FC’s 3-2 win against New York City FC, as The Crown secures their second home win of the season.
I know a few of them Already a guy like James Sands playing At the doctor tells you recording of the Day I've been with you because James he Played them For the national team he played for Rangers Glasgow and we were talking About that and for us we had them we had In New York he was a fantastic number Six so the quality that they had In Midfield especially when per day and Rodriguez Magnum when he comes on Ledesma he's not An easy thing to play against the President so I'm very proud Very very proud of the boys tonight Because I asked them only one thing and I asked them to to show who great as a Team That the great and willing to win for me Willing to win is not just wanting to Win In general because everybody wants that But it's how you fight on every ball or You fight on every duel when you have The ball when you don't have the ball Even if can you win every morning you Can't but you will never you will know But if you lose the first three or four Can you go on the fifth one Same Spirit or you let the other two or Three affect you I think that this is The difference between Winning games or not when I see the best
Players in the world this is a lot as Well as quality there that the Belief that I go again and then I go Again over there tonight I saw a team That's got it In that sense I hope that we can keep This in our mind a bit I've been working with together with Football because many times is the Difference between in my opinion my Humble opinion many times is the Difference between women or not winning Well that seems like a very humble Answer but so you don't think that your Prior experience with with City's Organization has helped you you know Lead you to a 3-0 streak against them You can help in a way but I know they Are a football team I know Nick has got Good ideas you can tell with the team For me the team plays well is one of the Teams that played the best football here For me So I want to congratulate them the way They play They made it difficult for us Very difficult so yeah the knowledge but Every game is a totally different story And so we study them like we started Before and Nick obviously gave a Different flavor since we left with Patrick then they had the different Coaches there the torrent they had Ronnie and then now Nick so what you
Know is I know some place but a couple Of them I wanted to play against Maxim Channel because I know him but he didn't Play so I'm joking in a way I'm glad he Didn't play because I know how good it Is but uh yeah it can help about 12.3 And then finally you can you speak the Mirror episode I asked I I told you Not just use I must I said to the Press Before Justin is a play that I have been long Admire when I was before in my time in New York when he used to play with Columbus Is a play that I think he can be one of Our technical leaders that not only can Play well technically but it can help And other players to play but I think That tonight I saw Carol and Enzo Playing really well together and I think The help of Justin is evident not just With the ball but also In the communication how he talks and I Think also McKenzie benefited from that That's what I mean that this thing needs Help And we need help in bringing qualities That are very clear but Uh that I hope we can get in the Transfer window First of all congratulations thank you Very much it is really appreciated when I go with Mike
So the question is Good basically just Battle back and responding to their Goals goals what does that mean to your Team To me that means the world because You know I like to play offensive Football and then Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't Sometimes it goes against us we lost One goal by The first one I already spoke with the Guys the second one by trying to play Inside and we give the ball away in a Key area of the pitch When Mackenzie unfortunately didn't find That he had a window or playing Ashley And then in the end he took too long can Happen And then 2-2 You can tell New York feeling the Momentum they took the ball back I saw That But the boys responded with a lot of With a lot of passion in the way that we Spoke Very strongly in the week that we need To have this great ability to have this Mentality of every ball is important the Next one even more and the next one even More So to me that with the world because This is the base if you don't have this Football comes always second and that's
What I also collectively individually That's why I said Even with certain players you know you Can have all the qualities on in the World But if you don't put that All it is football qualities come seven For I can see the qualities that they Have everybody can but that Determination And then when they show that for me this Is for a coach is uh For me for the coaching staff for the Club for the fans is gold We've talked a lot of games from us to Talk about possession and opportunities But not chances tonight A lot of chances early on the scoring is The earliest goal that it came out so Far to what do you attribute you know The fact that Charlotte was truly Dangerous white out for that tonight I think again these Um Is getting we've spoke also with the Guys and with certain guys even Yesterday the day before we spoke that We were very close to click they felt We're very close to click he said they Said to me I know you are getting a lot Of I don't know how to put it nice anyway You're getting a lot of grief Stay forward
And you get in a lot of debt and but I Said don't worry guys this I can take That I take a responsibility no problem It's important when you go on the field You feel good you have to feel good and They felt that they were clicking Even in DC we had a chance to deliver The ball we didn't and we put the we Said the importance of trusting each Other one unit goes out to deliver the Other unit goes to in front of the goal Because sometimes We don't deliver the ball and tonight I Felt that they did more do we have room For improvement I think yes I am not also when we change the system I thought that we didn't interpret that In the best possible way We were solid but I don't want to be Solid deep I want to be solid higher and We can and we didn't execute that but we Had the guys like amadi like Brandon That they came with In a difficult moment of the game even If Brandon had only a few minutes but he Brought you could see how much he meant To him and the money I felt he had a Difficult customer On the side and Even if we can do better I think that I Was very pleased with how everybody was Fighting tonight in the last 20 minutes Was very Helter Skelter I mean not much Possession and we kept giving them all
Back yeah and then defending again which All which all work tonight happy ending Against Columbus Yeah I mean coming down which is a great Sometimes you have to kind of be Dominant all the time and you play Against the team that only two years ago They were champion of unless And so you don't have to forget that and These are the team that has many quality Players two years Exactly normally exactly that's what I Mean New York and then so it's not easy To play against them and like the last Thing is what is the status of Malanda I Don't know is getting treatment now he Feels that he got a knockout hope he's Only a bruise but we have to see uh it's Too early to say uh you spoke before About how important it was to have Leadership in this squad you had Kalina Today you had Westwood and Maryland so What kind of differences did you notice With that I think it's evident for Everybody But I think one another guy that played With a lot of leadership tonight yeah You have to give you credit discount I Think Carol was was uh for me it was our Together I also Scored to gray gold and he fought but For me Carol played as a man I thought He played with a lot of score another Goal unfortunately goes offside
The build up McKenzie played a wonderful assist Was there to orchestrate a lot he played Well back to the goal he played well in Front of the goal he was fighting was Running he was leading So to have the Cali back we are waiting For Guzman Evan Ashley as we said before you know He helps You know Um and then today is also Kobe's big Diablo so it looks like it will miss Next game you know some of his you know You see the work right off the wall but Some of the yellows that he gets it Seems yeah it's frustrating because These yellows can be avoid can be Avoided Should be avoided but uh Is this partial is what is inside his Blood is coming to is what actually put Him in front of the door to score and What he gets him to get free kicks what He gets him to do also the good things So we need to channel that as I said Takes time but to get a year let's go to Goals I think yeah Last one Um so when Ashley Washington gets the Ball the winners especially immediately They start looking for space uh there's Some just seems to be a belief that they Find Space do you see that same sort of
Trust in in the middle of the field of Training and you know Beats his relationship players Especially Strikers they are intelligent And cheeky So they are guys that if they think that They can get a service they will go if They don't think they go once maybe the Second time a party the third time you Don't go So obviously when you have a guy like Justin like Ashley that you know the Ball is coming and that is also for me Is a big It's important for the younger players For the other players that they can see How that works so that's why the Leadership is important not just to have The quality but also to educate the Players around Because obviously these guys they make Runs they make strong runs And then they need to have the trust That not only is coming but it's coming Weather And so actually in that sense he's a Leader and but Justin is a technical Leader for us as well Without marks It was our intention to play calendar Yeah it was all right thank you
