The scenes, the emotion, the 31 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 3: moment when the final whistle blew against Columbus, seeing what 32 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 3: this FC Cincinnati did, they bounced back from the loss 33 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 3: in Columbus. What was that moment like for you and 34 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 3: sharing that with so many fans at TQL Stadium that 35 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 3: they got past Columbus and now so much is still 36 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:12,640 Speaker 3: ahead of this squad. 37 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was pretty It was pretty special, pretty spectacular, Tony. 38 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 2: The press conference today with Pat Newman, if you didn't 39 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 2: see it, a reporter asked the question about how the 40 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 2: team kind of feeds off the energy or if it's 41 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,519 Speaker 2: different in the playoffs, something on those lines, and Pack 42 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,519 Speaker 2: kind of looked at him and said, you were there 43 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,080 Speaker 2: right at game three. You felt that energy was different, 44 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 2: and there's no doubt the guys feel that energy as well. 45 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 2: And man, the energy in that game three against Columbus 46 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 2: was just off the charts, Like the place was buzzing. 47 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 2: I mean it was buzzing as soon as they opened 48 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 2: the gates ninety minutes before kick and people start filing 49 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 2: in that the way that that game built and then 50 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,799 Speaker 2: FC Cincinnati falls behind and then immediately ties the mact 51 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 2: and then wins it later, it was. It was spectacular 52 00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 2: and it really I think, and I hope, you know, 53 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 2: we'll see how things go against Miami, but I really 54 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 2: hope that that the way that they won proves to 55 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 2: be a massive confidence boost in favor of Cincinnati because 56 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 2: they found a way into their rival, you know, to 57 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 2: come from behind in the second half of the final 58 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 2: half an hour. You go down and no doubt, I 59 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,640 Speaker 2: mean myself included a lot of stomachs dropped, right. You 60 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 2: felt sick for three or four minutes, but that feeling 61 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 2: suddenly there was some reassurance thanks to Brenner and then 62 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 2: he got the game winner as well. But man, it 63 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 2: was it was a pretty cool, pretty cool way for 64 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 2: them to find a way to win it. 65 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 3: That's what I Confidence in any sport is so key. 66 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 3: And that's where I was going next. How much can 67 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 3: you build on the confidence of not only what you 68 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 3: did against Columbus, but what you have been able to 69 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 3: do in a couple opportunities against Inner Miami. How much 70 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 3: does confidence play into this? 71 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I mean numbers have been asked this 72 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,119 Speaker 2: question a lot this week about how do you feel 73 00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 2: about the game? Are you nervous? Is Miami the better team? 74 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 2: All these things? And the look, these are two very 75 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 2: good teams that finished second and third tied on points 76 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 2: actually for the season. But Cincinnati had more wins, so 77 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 2: they got the two seeds and therefore the games at home, 78 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 2: and that should be a massive, massive boost because that 79 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 2: she Sintan has done well against Miami in that building 80 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 2: as of late. Let's look at the most recent results. 81 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,039 Speaker 2: A three to zero win this July at TQL Stadium 82 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 2: against Miami last July. I remember that's six to one 83 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 2: beating they put on on Inner Miami, So that's nine 84 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 2: to one in the last two trips of Inter Miami 85 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 2: the tqsume, So that means could be that easy. Tomorrow 86 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,719 Speaker 2: probably not, or Sunday probably not. I hope it is 87 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,359 Speaker 2: a great it'd be quite the party. But but even 88 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,839 Speaker 2: you know, look at the US Open Cup semifinal, when 89 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 2: when things didn't go their way, it still was a 90 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,720 Speaker 2: positive game for cly Cincinnati, you know, for much of it, 91 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,839 Speaker 2: and then Miami got back into it and f three 92 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 2: to three and they lost in the shootout. But the 93 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 2: game before that in the regular season a one to 94 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 2: ohero win, and that was pretty messy. But so my 95 00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 2: point being is that under Pat and Internet, she sans 96 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 2: and really well against Inner Miami five one and three. 97 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,599 Speaker 2: You know, sometimes there's teams that you come up with 98 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,359 Speaker 2: and get better game planning against and you match up 99 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 2: better against. And MS Saint has done very well against 100 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,600 Speaker 2: Inner Miami. So I think, look, you're building on the 101 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 2: confidence of those previous matchups. But yeah, you're building upon 102 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:21,160 Speaker 2: the confidence of the way that you beat Columbus in 103 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 2: order to be in this seat. So yeah, I think 104 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 2: confidence should be the sky high, and then the guys 105 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 2: should be feeding up all that enthusiasm of twenty five 106 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,480 Speaker 2: thousand folks who are going to be screaming in their favor. 107 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,479 Speaker 3: Inner Miami and dispatching Nashville in the first round saw 108 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,600 Speaker 3: Lionel Messi score five goals in add an assist. So 109 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 3: he's obviously playing some of his best soccer right now. 110 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,600 Speaker 3: What goes into a matchup or a game plan and 111 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 3: trying to slow down a Messi or do you just say, man, 112 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 3: you're not going to slow down a Messi. No one's 113 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,600 Speaker 3: been able to. But can you limit everyone around him 114 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 3: as well? 115 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 2: I mean I think, yeah, you have to make sure 116 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 2: that you're limiting what Lionel Messi is doing. This guy 117 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:02,279 Speaker 2: has forty two goals. Was tony across all competitions this year. Now, 118 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 2: Miami's played an in order to the amount of games, 119 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 2: more than anybody else in the league. But it's forty 120 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 2: two goals. He's five goals, three says, so eight goal 121 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 2: contributions in those three games. I mean it's almost three 122 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,040 Speaker 2: goal contributions a game. And coming off one of the 123 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,839 Speaker 2: greatest seasons in major thecer history with twenty nine goals 124 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:21,600 Speaker 2: in eighteen assists. So look, he has just been unbelievable 125 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 2: since he arrived at Miami. I mean seventy six goals, 126 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 2: you know, since arriving with two and a half seasons ago. 127 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 2: So yeah, it hasn't even been around, you know, that long, 128 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 2: and he's scoring goals. It's just a ridiculous clip. So 129 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 2: you have to minimize the damage that you can do. 130 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:40,840 Speaker 2: I mean, obviously it's talked about this week, so it's 131 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 2: not gonna be the broadcaster jinks I meet because many 132 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,159 Speaker 2: others brought it up, including Roman and Miles when they 133 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,360 Speaker 2: did the show with MLS while they were with the 134 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 2: US national team earlier in the week. But you know, 135 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 2: the only Intern conferenceeam that Messi hasn't scored against is 136 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 2: C Cincinnati, So they've come up with decent game plans 137 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 2: against him in the matches when they've seen him. He's 138 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,839 Speaker 2: missed some. It's against him in the past previously as well, 139 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 2: but you know, he hasn't scored against since down He 140 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,840 Speaker 2: did have some assists and that that Open Cup semi 141 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 2: finals from a couple of years ago that I was 142 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 2: talking about. But they find a way to manage him. 143 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 2: But the problem is that it all it takes is 144 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 2: one play and whether that's a free kick or that's 145 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 2: a ridiculous pass where he finds somebody in a box 146 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 2: and they'll hurt you. So Miami also has been prone 147 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 2: to concede some goals. So I think there's gonna be 148 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 2: opportunities there. Key is that f she since any better 149 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 2: take advantage of all the opportunities in the box. You 150 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 2: know that attacking trio, Dencade, Brenner and a Vander are 151 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 2: gonna have to be under game. He got goals. 152 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 3: It's not like f C Cincinnati doesn't pose a threat 153 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 3: offensively as well with that trio. You had the weekend 154 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 3: between rest, recovery, a lot of preparation. You already knew 155 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 3: who the opponent was going to be. Uh, how does 156 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 3: f C Cincinnati go into Sunday just from a sheer 157 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 3: availability and health point of view. 158 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, we just got an update this morning from pad 159 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 2: noon and then it was pretty positive. So it felt 160 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 2: really good about that. You know, I think everybody was 161 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 2: holding their breath a little bit, especially as far as intererection. 162 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 2: K is concerned, and you know that was that was 163 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 2: you know, a big concern, and rightfully so, because he 164 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 2: was hurt while he's out with the Venezuelan national team. 165 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 2: Came out of the game in the first half. But 166 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 2: Pat Noonon indicated in his press conference and then we 167 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,559 Speaker 2: saw him training that Ender went out and trained today 168 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 2: and that he was good, that it was a scare, 169 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,439 Speaker 2: but that he was a full participant in training today. 170 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 2: So does that mean he starts on time day? Well, 171 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,559 Speaker 2: time will tell. We'll see how training goes tomorrow and 172 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,200 Speaker 2: what the coaches decide. But and there's been a really 173 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 2: important piece of the puzzle. And remember now it's not 174 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 2: a best of three, so it's a one game do 175 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 2: or die, which means it could go one hundred and 176 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 2: twenty minutes. So if you don't have the interrection in 177 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,080 Speaker 2: k whether that's in the starting role coming off the bench, 178 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 2: you're losing one of your weapons. Right if Ender doesn't 179 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 2: start and he's got available and then you had to 180 00:08:58,040 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 2: start Luco Orshana, what that means you're not bringing the 181 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,320 Speaker 2: Luca Orshano off the bench who can do some damage, 182 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 2: you know. So I feel much better about the situation. 183 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:09,200 Speaker 2: The only one that Pat did note today that won't 184 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,720 Speaker 2: be available was Matt viaska uh Or. He didn't say 185 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 2: he want to be available, but that he had a 186 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,679 Speaker 2: little bit of a minor setback in his recovery of 187 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 2: his car tissue in his squad with that muscle injury 188 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 2: that he's been fighting. So he didn't say that he 189 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 2: wasn't available, but Matt hasn't been out with the group 190 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,839 Speaker 2: during the media portion of training, uh this week, so 191 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 2: remained a scene whether or not Matt you know, jumps 192 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,199 Speaker 2: in you know, and and what his availability looks like 193 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,560 Speaker 2: for the squad. But that's the only one at this point, 194 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 2: and that is certainly great news that Pat Newton has 195 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,720 Speaker 2: nearly you know, his best team available in a really 196 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:42,679 Speaker 2: big game to pick from. 197 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 3: Tommy quite simply put your biggest key for FC Cincinnati 198 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,960 Speaker 3: to leave t Quo Stadium on Sunday with a win. 199 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 2: Oh, I mean I think it is, you know, he 200 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:59,079 Speaker 2: gotta he can't let Messy hurts you, right Nashville, which 201 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 2: is they had found out that solution. It's not as 202 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 2: easy as just saying it, you know, but you're gonna 203 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,400 Speaker 2: have to school goals at the same token. So uh, 204 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 2: I don't think you really want to end up in 205 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,079 Speaker 2: the penalty kicks shoot out. Your your front three, who 206 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 2: has been so good they should be good again. But yeah, man, 207 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:16,560 Speaker 2: you can't let Messi hurt you if they don't let 208 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 2: MESSI hurt you. If they didn't let Messy hurts Team 209 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 2: hurt et Cincinnati, then I think they weren't to Blue 210 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 2: come out on top. 211 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 3: Do you plan on wearing your Sador Sanders jersey during 212 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 3: the broadcast with his first start coming up on Sunday 213 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:30,440 Speaker 3: as well. 214 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,079 Speaker 2: Tuned into the boot camp.
