Christian Lattanzio addresses the media after Charlotte FC’s 2-2 draw against Philadelphia Union at Bank of America Stadium.
The upper was there the goals were Finally there but still Shy of a win how do you Describe he said it's a movie already Saw many times here It's on us it's on us because we have The chances too It's another game I have to repeat Myself it's another game that we in my Opinion we deserve the win because I Even after the the 2-1 we have a 3-1-1 With the keeper we don't make it count And then after Bad decision In defending like we have done already In the past we give away a soft penalty And We are here You know disappointed because we lost Another two points on the road you know We left another two points Sleeping through our hands but I think that the boys play well I think Is very harsh at the booing at the end They can move me there's no problem I Take the responsibility it's my fault I Take all of me but the players play well Why why the boy and I don't understand I Don't understand this is a team yeah we Can be disappointed because of the Result but this is not the performance That they serve a buoying this is a Performance that deserve clapping Because the boys not only play Toe to
Toe against Philadelphia which is we Know one of the biggest team in the League but even better and we deserve to Win okay disappointed but On the boys we live in an instant Gratification world now there's very Little patience people aren't Remembering this team is only two years Old And stuff there are teams that have done Well in their first seasons and kind of You know which is out of the ordinary And stuff Cincinnati which is leading The Division now was the worst team in the League for two years showing has not Even done that Is it harder now to manage expectations No well yay these but um We have to be realistic and my job is to Make sure that the team grows Looking at the performance is not just The result because First of all it looks like that we lose Every game 5-0 I already said that we it's true that we Should have Now 15 points And we only have Seven Okay But uh The when Charlotte FC plays I think that There is a
There is there is a style there is not An easy game for anyone I think at the Moment It's quite difficult game of course we Need to improve in many things but I am proud of how the boys are growing As a team how they play how difficult They make for the opposition and there Is this pattern that repeats himself Listen I take the responsibility for Everything so they can never go at me That I am a bad coach whatever they want But the boys are playing and in a way That the supporters should be proud of They play with a lot of aggressiveness Intensity they make it difficult for Everybody to play against And just because we are not winning Every game that we are in front Doesn't mean that we are doing that the Boys are doing a pajoba Experienced player does that make you Guard against this might be a mental Thing right now for the team I don't know maybe but I it is an uncharacteristic mistake Because uh Brecht is an experienced player and Issued no better than this situation is To be managed if even if you are better You just stay with your body with your With your opponent and then you rely on The on the Defenders on the goalkeepers To do their job like we have done in the
Past we want to solve the situation even If we if we are beaten if we are Biden In The Penalty Box in the last minute You know you shouldn't you shouldn't uh Gamble if you obedient at least make it As difficult as you can And then rely on your on your teammates Very often are they they are there to You know to solve the situation so but Again it's another one that we have to Take it as a team we have to I want to See fighters in this in this team we are Getting we are receiving big blows We are receiving big blows and uh But uh every time we go back and play Strong and uh And I want to to keep us Fighting until the end fighting every Game But then again it's on us because we Have the chance if we score the 3-1 Again It's a balance you know if you keep the Game always in the balance until the Very end Things can happen and unfortunately that Happened to us all the time at the Moment but I am proud of the guys and How they play I don't know it doesn't look anything Major but uh to be fair we were We talk a little bit on the At the end of the game between US just Getting ready at least mentally for the
Next challenge that we ever had which is A big one So I'm gonna review with the medical Department Ben situation When I go back now in the changing room Out of the last 11 games From the fans perspective yeah The way we play very simply the way we Play if you don't see that I and I know That it's not everybody but we are not Real Madrid you know that we have to we Haven't lost nine we draw nine Right And and we want one we lost one so it's Not easy to beat us And we are not real Madrid you know by Immunity that we are You know we have the right to win every Game And the way we place in front of Everybody if people cannot see that if They want okay I understand the Frustration I am the first one to be Frustrated they can move me as long as As much as they want But the players don't deserve to be Booed because they gave everything And I think that they play a good brand Of football New reporter at the Charlotte Observer Um what did it mean today earlier to see The team score back-to-back goals Especially as you know another game Where they scored twice you know
Wouldn't just mean to see from that Offense and then how it energized the Crowd at the moment No we love to play for this crowd we Absolutely do and uh And you can see how much they put into The game And wanted to please the crowd At the moment it looks like everything Is going against us we don't deserve to Receive these blows at the end but we Get them and we take it on the chin and We always get ready to play a strong Game [Music] The next game the next uh the next one And uh It means a lot for us it means a lot to Us to score goals and to make this crowd Happy it really does
