pascal Jansen and the pressures of NYCFC after the victory against Charlotte: “Make sure we pass”
“We played a vrey strong and solid first half on both sides, without possession and with possession“. Pascal Jansen sat in front of the journalists, proud of the effort of his team in the first game against Charlotte of the Playoffs.New York City FC sealed one of the most critically important victories of their year by winning by the minimum in front of a Bank of America Stadium full of fans.
They made a classification that seemed very complex. All thanks to a transcendental goal from Costa Rican Alonso Martínez. “Tico [Martínez] He showed his individual qualities by scoring the goal. The second half, however, was less about us not being clean enough on the ball, and we defended quite well to keep a clean sheet. So those things together made us get this important victory today,” Jansen said.
The Pigeons’ Dutch strategist reiterated the value of his Central American attacker on the offensive line: “Alonso, yes, he has been magnificent for us. The growth he has shown throughout the season is tremendous. His mentality to improve every day is what I see in training. That’s what gets him to this level today, a special goal at a special moment in a special game.” So I hope he can continue this and keep us at a good level during the Playoffs.
To the analysis of the game, Pascal added his high expectations for the second match of the key, which will be played inside Yankee Stadium: “the only pressure, if there is any pressure for us, is to make sure we get to the next round“.
“So if that’s going to be in the second or third game, we’ll have to see.”
