Maxim Tissot Team Celebration Sporting KC preseason

Head coach Marco Schällibaum
About the team's first game of the year...
"It’s the first game in three months for this group. The important thing is we won the game. There are things we need to work on as we had some difficulty in the first 20 minutes. But we never gave up on going for the win. In the second half, after the second goal, we continued to show that we wanted to win this game. I saw a lot of players who were ready to suffer for this team."
Midfielder Patrice Bernier
About adjusting to the field...
"We were happy to finally play a game after three long weeks of training. We didn’t dominate the game but came out with the win. We need to play as quickly as possible with the ball and move a lot on the field. It took some time to adjust to the field, but we got better and better as the game went."
Defender Maxim Tissot
About his first game...
"When I got in the game in the second half, I tried to take advantage of some of the tired players on the other side. I have to keep working and continue to have good performances to gain more confidence."
