Christian Lattanzio addresses the media from Charlotte FC’s 1- 1 draw against Orlando City SC.
I think is a is a very good performance Again from our boys that reputed more or Less the performance Against La AFC I think we should have Won the game comfortably as well Unfortunately we didn't and this draw Against very good team that's coming From a good series of result orando it Feels like a defeat but performance wise I'm very Happy I think that uh we had The vast majority of the possession we Wanted to play and they were trying to Give us own Counterattack which is okay But I'm very happy of the way the our Team played and perform tonight the last Two games uh the team looks like Especially uh going forward more Fluidity is that something that you're Seeing Too I think so I think that the more we Play together the boys the more we each Other the better they understand the Principle that we are trying to put in Place uh I enjoy watching them on the Bench but obviously I we need to Understand that the the goal of a Football is to put the b in net so we we Do all this to create chances and to Have possibilities to do that and I Think we had enough chances today to win The games we didn't take them and Unfortunately this level you see a dead Ball uh
Situation Can Uh can take away uh the three points and Leave us with one point which is I think Uh yeah the me the very very bad meaning That we could expect After then came on today got aen got on The SC how important was that he came With a lot of energy to poti yeah yeah And So are two very important players for us As I always Said and um I respect them to make this Kind of contribution we saw and there Are other things they don't like but They I keep them in private I talk with Them Like because Uh uh I think that they there is a lot More that they can give to this thing And then just finally just um I know Bret came off early having Not a lot they said to me that he felt Something but something Small so hopefully uh this is one of Those injuries that you cannot say until You Do So we can speculate a little bit with The phys that doing test just to see how We react I saw him walking which is a Good sign but uh we have to wait until We got energies that they can give us a Little bit
More Precision About what happened in Is just to follow on that did the injury To Breck change your tactics or were you Able we didn't change anything it didn't Change Anything uh I thought that Justin uh Play came on really well uh and it's Been one of the best games that he Played in my Complete with the ball without the goal I thought it Was having said that I thought the great Start the game start really brightly and I would have like to see him play Longer uh Because it's important that he get Feeling with the team and I think that He settle in the in the RO Quickly uh we created already couple of Situation I think just before coming off With the shot slightly of t And The my disappointment was more About [Music] Um potentially losing him so early in The game because he was I think he's Going to be a very very important play For us but again I played Justin the way Came on and and he was it was good so Tally it didn't change anything for us And uh Patrick wasn't dress for T night Reason in particular we have two number
NS and then you know we also have to Look at the balance of the of the Team uh because also we are caring that Can play a front and I have to make Choices and uh you know I decided to Go with those players and uh because you Know you need to take into consideration How the game can go and I can I kind of Put you know number n on the bench do is There a possibility that like that Patrick could be like way you're playing Dck now where he's getting so far Forward and getting those offensive Chances could you play Patrick in a Position to where he cover defensively And still maybe give more on Offense uh I think it's I is is's a Little bit premature we are talking About the guy that is a rookie he always Plays the number Nine you ask him to play a tactical role That Is quite complicated and Especially I don't think he would be the Best for the team and for the Development P first of all uh my initial thoughts is That we can do with better we can attack The B instead of waiting because I Knowa is a guy that is very precise and If he if you wait that the ball bounces If he hits the the target very likely He's going to Wi in so I am disappointed With because it's a cheap go but
Uh Hey happen and then we need to move On and you know I don't want to focus on That but it's certainly something that We need to to analyze and we will again But my fac is that we need to attack the Ball He Elance in in the sixy box and in that Situation we need to attack It how did you see b game tonight good I Really enjoyed I thought he play very Very good first Half I thought that he Create a lot of good situation I think He had a chance to shoot and he wanted To leave it to Car out of I think Generosity uh but he was involved in Many things many good things that we did And also created problem to one of the Best back in the in the league in Santos And uh yeah very very good but then After you know we Played uh last Saturday today's Wednesday and then we needed they change Few players Orlando so I thought that They were getting a little bit more Freshness than us changing players Changing legs and I needed to I needed To to at least balance that to keep Playing our game we needed to have a Little bit more energy that's why cam is Called so uh we saw Ben vendor driving At Defenders a little bit more than we Have seen him in the past is that a
Development Area for you Absolutely so it's been working Particular been working with chrisan With folks on that that for us the wiers Play a key role we play with the ball Ball and then also in In fairness to Ben Ben has been play most of his career Youth well in University and also last Year more Inside so to play this role I think he's Growing into the role is very is very Good and I think that he can become very Important player not only for us but Also for the in my opinion also for the National team going forward because he Has many good qualities that he can Bring to the party um sort of moving off Of B and onto Christian even made some Incredible 1 V one saves uh do you have Any oh yeah uh do you have any concerns That he's starting to fall back and rely On taking a 1 V one when you might be Able to push forward and be more Aggressive yeah again these are things That we're going to analyze uh during The week you know they want to Specifically single Out uh a play I thought might uh he made Some very crucial saves but will keep Also a part of the of the team and you Know we can use this game on contack and Then we say that but I will take this Performance any day and if it means we Have to consider the time cont attack I
Will take it in person I will take it Because I think that the way CH plays is At the moment is is a credit uh to these Uh Supporters and also to the leag I think That we the boys that play the football That Uh it's in my opion is enjoyable to Watch of course it's not for me to say It but me personally I I watch all boys And I thought that they they put Forward a l of playing football that I Am very proud of
