DC Power Football Club Post-Match Quotes
Head Coach Omid Namazi
On Saturday’s match result…
“Obviously, it was a disappointing result for us tonight and it came down to us not having the intensity needed to play against a team whose strength is their physicality and direct play,” Namazi said. “They made it into a physical match and they won. We need to match that intensity and be even better and then let our football speak for itself. I don’t think we will face anything similar to this on Wednesday but regardless, our mentality and our intensity need to be 1,000 times better.”
Midfielder Emily Colton
On being back on the pitch and having all Power FC players available for the upcoming home stretch…
“Although it wasn’t the result we hoped for or wanted, it was amazing to be back on the pitch and I felt so much joy stepping on the field again,” Colton said. “I think having everyone back healthy is going to help us tremendously through these next few games. We all want to win and play for each other so having everyone back and willing to fight for each other is going to bring us continued success.”
Defender Claire Constant
Thoughts on the overall performance and what needs to be improved upon moving forward…
“We must compete in the first 10 minutes of each half,” Constant said. “We’re not handling the press well which puts us on our back foot for a good amount of the match.”
