10
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 1: stoked for Sunday. Let's talk about round one. FC Cincinnati

11
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 1: survives against Columbus. What did you learn about Pat Newton's

12
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 1: team during that series?

13
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 2: Yes, you know, he showed since he show a lot

14
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 2: of character. Because Columbus played really well in the series.

15
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 2: I think, you know, after that second game, we all

16
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 2: thought about the momentum Columbo got after scoring four goals

17
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 2: and Cincinnati didn't look well, most likely the first thirty

18
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 2: minutes until they got down a man. But a third

19
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 2: game it was going to be very important, most likely

20
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 2: at home with the people, and you know, they figured

21
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 2: out the way to turn around a difficult result. So

22
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 2: that it's a big show of character that a team

23
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 2: that is looking for getting a championship, and that's the

24
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 2: most important for me in terms of the first round.

25
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 1: What I think of all time great Portland Timbers, You're

26
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 1: at the top of the list, Evander might be right

27
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,479
Speaker 1: behind you. What has it been like watching him this season?

28
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 2: Well, you know, Ivander is those is the kind of

29
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 2: player that you always enjoy watch that he can make

30
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 2: a play when the game is not the best and

31
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 2: and because of his ability, because of his diction of

32
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 2: the game, it's been a pleasure to to have the

33
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 2: chance to watch him live with some broadcast in the game.

34
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 2: Obviously here important the same, but it's that kind of player,

35
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 2: so it's very enjoyable. I think he motivates in a

36
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 2: different way when uh in Miami comes and face Cincinnati.

37
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 2: So I'm really excited to see him in this stage,

38
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 2: uh In in the semi conference, semi final of the conference.

39
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 2: So I think it's you know, it's been a pleasure.

40
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 2: I I love to have those kind of players in

41
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 2: MLS and uh and it's been it's been so fun

42
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 2: to watch him play.

43
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 1: In a normal year, a Vander might be m v

44
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 1: P but there's a guy named Messi that that claims

45
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 1: that honor. If you're pat Noon, and it's about more

46
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: than just him. When Miami comes to town, you've got

47
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: a long list of things that you have to make

48
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: sure don't happen in this match on Sunday. What's on

49
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: that list?

50
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 2: But don't happen in for Cincinnati?

51
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: For yeah, what what can't you let Miami do?

52
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 2: Well? As you say, Messy, you know, it's it's difficult

53
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 2: to prepare something against Messy, right. I think Cincinnati gotta

54
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 2: be focused on on the doing their job, on being effected. Right.

55
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 2: I think have great strikers and plass the banda as

56
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 2: you say for me is you know, Ambi pee level.

57
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 2: But it's it's what you can't allow, uh, against Miami.

58
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 2: It's having those moments where you allow thee, the full,

59
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 2: the whole team to be up in the field and

60
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 2: comfortable with the ball. Right. Sometimes you always get deeper

61
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 2: in the field, and obviously Miami because of the way

62
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 2: they possess the ball, they take advantage but of the

63
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 2: possession and the position on the field. But if they're

64
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 2: getting there, Cincinnati cannot allow Miami to be comfortable with

65
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 2: the ball, you know what I mean, Like against Nashville. Uh,

66
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 2: as soon as Miami gets a good position in the field,

67
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 2: higher in the field, Uh, they get comfortable. And and

68
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 2: that's an issue, that's a big issue. Uh if Cincinnati,

69
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 2: if that ever happens in the first in the game,

70
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 2: that is one game elimination. And Miami gets higher on

71
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 2: the field, you can allow them to be comfortable because

72
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 2: you already gets in the ball and you know from

73
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,679
Speaker 2: everywhere he can assist, he can assist someone. And same

74
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 2: theme for messy and same theme for busquets. So I

75
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 2: think that's something that gotta be on the some Cincinnatio

76
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 2: and not doing stuff.

77
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 1: It's uh, it's gonna be an unbelievable atmosphere. You've got

78
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: a ton of star power. Lots on the line. Sunday
