Sporting KC Game Notes | October 27, 2021 vs. LA Galaxy | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes #SKCvLA: HEAD-TO-HEAD

#SKCvLA: BY THE NUMBERS

Sporting KC returns home this Wednesday to take on the LA Galaxy at Children’s Mercy Park knowing that a win or draw will clinch a top-four berth for the postseason which would guarantee at least one home game in the MLS Cup Playoffs. Sporting (167-7, 55 pts.) is coming off a thrilling 2-1 victory at table-topping Seattle Sounders FC on Saturday afternoon, while the Galaxy (13-11-7, 46 pts.) scrapped to a 2-2 draw at home against FC Dallas on Saturday night. Sporting has already claimed victory over the Galaxy once this season, earning a 2-0 win at Dignity Health Sports Park on July 4. Despite the Galaxy pressing hard for a go-ahead goal throughout the match, Sporting landed a sucker-punch late on as Johnny Russell bagged his first of the season before Khiry Shelton made the points safe in second-half stoppage time to seal a 2-0 victory. In their last visit to Children’s Mercy Park on May 29, 2019, the Galaxy took all three points as Favio Alvarez and Zlatan Ibrahimovic found the back of the net in the second half for a 2-0 win. While LA holds a slender advantage in the all-time regular-season series (26-2415), Sporting KC has had the better of the series over the past five years. Since midway through the 2015 season, Sporting has gone 5-2-4 against the Galaxy, including a 2-1-3 mark at Children’s Mercy Park. #SKCvLA: Recent Meetings (LA leads 26-24-15 in regular season)

Sporting KC Game Notes | October 27, 2021 vs. LA Galaxy | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes TWO WEEKS REMAINING

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES

RUSSELL FIRING ON ALL CYLINDERS

Second-place Sporting Kansas City (16-7-7, 55 pts.) return home this Wednesday when the team plays host to the LA Galaxy (13-11-7, 46 pts.) at Children’s Mercy Park. Sporting - who clinched a berth in the 2021 MLS Cup Playoffs with the 2-1 victory at Seattle on Saturday - know that a win or a draw will clinch a top-four finish in the West, guaranteeing at least one home match in the postseason.

Sporting Kansas City winger Johnny Russell extended his club record during Saturday night’s 2-1 victory over Seattle Sounders FC at Lumen Field, bagging a goal in the seventh consecutive game. In the 79th minute, Russell received a pass from Roger Espinoza and expertly finished into the corner for what would prove to be the gamewinner.

Sporting are now just three points back of Seattle in first place with a game in hand, knowing that winning out their final four matches would at worst put them level on points with the Sounders at the end of the season. If that were to happen, both teams would sit on 20 wins - the first tie-breaker - and the Western Conference winner would likely go down to goal difference, which Seattle leads by three with +23 mark over SKC’s +20.

Russell’s seven-game scoring streak is not only the longest in club history, but it’s also the longest in MLS this season. Only three MLS players - Josef Martinez, Carlos Vela and Diego Valeri - have pieced together longer regular season scoring streaks throughout the league’s history. In addition, Russell’s 37 regular-season goals is now tied with former Colorado Rapids ace John Spencer for most goals by a Scottish player in league history. Russell now has six goals in seven career appearances against Seattle - his most versus any MLS opponent. Russell also become the second player to score in three matches against Seattle in the same regular season, matching the feat set by Fanendo Adi of the Portland Timbers in 2016.

Sporting has tended to have Seattle’s number over the past half-decade, as Sporting’s 8-3-3 regular season record against the Sounders since the start of 2015 is far and away the best in MLS. Doing it on the road is even more impressive, and Sporting’s eight away victories in 2021 have tied a regular season club record during the non-shootout era. In a wider sample size, Sporting’s 57 road wins since the start of 2012 are the most in the league.

WALTER SCORES FIRST SKC GOAL

Sporting will now play four matches over the last two weeks of the regular season, starting with Wednesday night’s clash with the LA Galaxy. That will be followed by road matches at Minnesota (Oct. 31) and Austin (Nov. 3), before a Decision Day bout with Real Salt Lake at Children’s Mercy Park (Nov. 7).

Sporting Kansas City midfielder Remi Walter enjoyed one his finest outings in a Sporting shirt this past Saturday in the 2-1 victory over Seattle Sounders FC at Lumen Field. For starters, Walter scored his first goal in Sporting blue in just the fourth minute of the match - the team’s earliest goal of the season.

POSTSEASON: CLINCHED

Walter was named to the MLS Team of the Week for his performance, having also achieved that same honor following Sporting’s last successful visit to Lumen Field on July 25. In addition to breaking his duck for the club, Walter also won five of seven duels and completed 88.9 percent of his passes in the SKC victory.

Sporting Kansas City clinched a berth in the 2021 MLS Cup Playoffs over the weekend with a 2-1 victory over Seattle Sounders FC at Lumen Field. It’s the 10th time in the last 11 seasons that Sporting has advanced to the postseason, while Manager Peter Vermes has now qualified for a league-record 17 playoff campaigns as a player and coach.

Having singed for the club in December 2020, Walter has slowly grown into his role in the Sporting midfield throughout the season. He has made 25 appearances in all competitions, including 20 starts, and places second on the team with a 90.85 percent passing accuracy, while he’s third on the team among regulat out-field starters with a 58 percent duel win rate, only trailing Ilie Sanchez and Nicolas Isimat-Mirin.

• A full list of top-four clinching scenarios that would guarantee at least one home match in the MLS Cup Playoffs will be available on SportingKC.com and MLSSoccer.com on Tuesday, Oct. 26 in the afternoon.

GALAXY COME TO TOWN

FIFA PAYS VISIT TO KC ON OCTOBER 21

Sporting Kansas City is set to host longtime foes the LA Galaxy at Children’s Mercy Park on Wednesday night, having already clinched their spot in the 2021 MLS Cup Playoffs following Saturday’s 2-1 victory at the Seattle Sounders. LA are still fighting for a spot in the postseason and currently sit fifth in the West with 46 points, four points above the playoff line.

The KC2026 bid to bring the 2026 FIFA World Cup to Kansas City hosted a delegation from FIFA for a venue visit on Thursday, October 21. KC2026 Bid co-chairs Clark Hunt and Cliff Illig along with Mayor Quinton Lucas, Royals owner John Sherman, KC NWSL owners Angie and Chris Long, Kansas City Sports Commission President and CEO Kathy Nelson and KC2026 Bid Director Katherine Fox were among those present as Kansas City welcomed FIFA Vice-President Victor Montagliani and FIFA Chief Tournaments and Events Officer Colin Smith.

Sporting won the most recent clash between the two sides at Dignity Health Sports Park on July 4, 2021. The Galaxy dominated much of proceedings but Sporting executed a perfect smash-and-grab with a pair of late goals from Johnny Russell and Khiry Shelton to secure all three points on the road.

Kansas City is one of 17 Candidate Host Cities in the U.S. bidding to host matches during the 2026 FIFA World Cup. During each venue visit, the FIFA delegation holds meetings with local stakeholders, including city and stadium authorities. The visits also consist of inspections for essential infrastructure, such as stadiums, training facilities and potential FIFA Fan Festival sites.

In their most recent visit to Children’s Mercy Park on May 29, 2019, the Galaxy came away with all three points thanks to a pair of second-half goals from Favio Alvarez and Zalatan Ibrahimovic as Sporting struggled to find their footing after Champions League elimination early in the campaign.

POSTGAME PV

Sporting still trails LA 24-26-15 in the all-time regular-season series, but has gone 5-2-4 against the Galaxy since midway through the 2015 season, including a 2-1-3 mark at Children’s Mercy Park.

Thoughts on the 2-1 win over Seattle: “They’re a very good team. They’re incredibly competitive. They find ways to change gears in games as a team. I think it was a really good, important three points at an important time of the year. It shows a lot of moxie on the quality of our guys because you can have quality, you can have all these different things but at the end of the day if you don’t show up at the times that you need to, you don’t achieve anything. Being able to get three points and secure a playoff spot is a huge objective of ours. We got it and I’m proud of the guys. They deserved it. They worked hard. They weathered different situations within the game and they did a really good job with it.”

SPORTING SET TO HOST FAN APPRECIATION NIGHT

During Wednesday’s clash with the LA Galaxy at Children’s Mercy Park, Sporting Kansas City will be hosting the club’s annual fan appreciation night. Sporting captain Johnny Russell will share a postgame thank you video on the videoboards while a host of other activations will be in place as Sporting begins to draw the curtain on the 2021 regular season and prepare for the MLS Cup Playoffs.

On the team’s competitive nature: “There were a lot of fouls called. Whether you think they’re a foul or not, it doesn’t really matter. You have to defend and we defended really well in a lot of situations. I thought Tim (Melia) was really strong and brave in a lot of different plays, which really changed the game for us. It held a lead that we needed to have. Even though they scored and tied us, we still maintained ourselves throughout the game.”

Other activations include: • Fans get to choose the music in the bowl via social media • Sporting KC’s looping logo on the videoboards will feature photos of fans • Fans will get 50 percent off jerseys at Sporting Style locations • Value menu items will be 50 percent off for all fans • All fans in the Budweiser Brew House to receive one free Coca-Cola product or 12oz Argyle Amber Ale

On the absence of Daniel Salloi: “He turned his ankle in the game against the Whitecaps. It’s day to day. That’s what it is. When he gets back, he gets back. He’ll be okay. It’s just going to take some days. It’s going to depend on how fast he accelerates through the rehab part of it.”

There will be several other surprise and delight moments throughout the match as Sporting shows their apprectiation to the best fanbase in Major League Soccer. Sporting has one home match remaining after Wednesday’s showdown, as the team closes out the 2021 season with a Decision Day matchup with longtime rivals Real Salt Lake on Sunday, Nov. 7.

Sporting KC Game Notes | October 27, 2021 vs. LA Galaxy | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes Manager & Sporting Director | Peter Vermes

Assistant Coach | Kerry Zavagnin Assistant Coach Kerry Zavagnin first joined Kansas City in 2000 as a holding midfielder and was an integral part of the club’s midfield for the next nine seasons, during which time he helped lead the Wizards to MLS Cup (2000) and U.S. Open Cup (2004) Championships. He was named to the MLS All-Star team and the Best XI in 2004. Zavagnin’s primary duties as an assistant include scouting, developing Sporting Kansas City’s younger players, breaking down film and assisting with training sessions, among others.

Peter Vermes is in his 13th season as Sporting Kansas City Manager in 2021 and is the longest-tenured active head coach in MLS. He is the team’s longest-serving manager and his 206 coaching victories in all competitions are the most club history. During his tenure, he has won four major trophies – the 2012, 2015 and 2017 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cups and the 2013 MLS Cup championship – and finished atop the Eastern Conference regularseason standings in 2011 and 2012, as well as the Western Conference in 2018 and 2020. His three U.S. Open Cup championships are the third most in Open Cup history. He is the first coach in club history to lead Sporting KC to eight straight postseason appearances, as well as the only person to ever win the MLS Cup as both a player and a coach with the same team. His 171 regular-season wins top the club’s all-time chart and rank fifth most in MLS history. He passed his former coach Bob Gansler as the winningest manager in team history with a 3-1 win over Real Salt Lake on Aug. 12, 2015, his 109th victory in all competitions.

He started his professional career with the New York/New Jersey MetroStars, where he played in 39 games over two seasons. After spending one season with the Lehigh Valley Steam (USL-1), Zavagnin came to Kansas City in 2000. He played 237 games (228 starts) and logged 20,516 minutes for Kansas City, setting team records in both categories before both were overtaken by Matt Besler early in 2018. He scored eight goals and added 22 assists in his nine seasons in Kansas City blue. Zavagnin was named Team Defender of the Year in 2001.

On August 4, 2018, Vermes coached his 302nd MLS regular-season game with Sporting KC, becoming the league’s all-time leader in games coached for one club. He was named the first-ever MLS Sporting Executive of the Year by his peers in 2018. Vermes has coached 472 total games during his Kansas City coaching career, most in club history.

On top of his club success in Kansas City, Zavagnin also appeared 21 times for the United States Men’s National Team. He recorded one assist for the U.S., who went 15-2-4 when Zavagnin featured. He married his wife Mirriam prior to the 2009 season, when he became an assistant coach at the club.

With over 13 years of service at Sporting KC, Vermes is one of the longest serving managers in world soccer. Among all 18 leagues with an average attendance of 10,000+, Vermes ranks second, only behind 2. Bundesliga side FC Heidenheim’s Frank Schmidt (Sept. 17, 2007 – present). Among the top 51 leagues in the world as denoted by the CIES Football Observatory, Vermes’ tenure at Sporting KC ranks as the eighth longest active run.

Assistant Coach | Zoran Savic Assistant Coach Zoran Savic joined Sporting Kansas City late in the 2009 season after a 30-year career at all levels of the game in the United States. A native of Gornji Milanovac, Yugoslavia, Savic began his journey through American soccer with the Buffalo Stallions of the Major Indoor Soccer League in 1980. Savic would go on to star for several MISL teams, with his most prosperous period coming with the Kansas City Comets, with whom he scored 70 goals in just over 100 appearances from 1982-1984.

Vermes oversees all soccer operations for Sporting KC, including the active roster, Sporting Kansas City II (USL Championship) and the Sporting KC Academy. Vermes entered MLS ahead of its inaugural season in 1996 and retired from the league in 2002, closing out his playing career in Kansas City after stints with the New York/New Jersey MetroStars and Colorado Rapids.

After retiring as a player in 1991, Savic turned his attention to coaching in the indoor game. Savic led the Kansas City Attack from 1992-1996, winning Coach of the Year honors for the 1994-1995 season while also serving as the team’s General Manager. Savic later coached the Kansas City Comets from 2000-2005.

Following a standout high school career in which he was named New Jersey Player of the Year, Vermes was a star forward and All-American at Rutgers University. After college, Vermes represented the United States in the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, Korea, and was named 1988 Chevrolet U.S. Male Soccer Athlete of the Year for his efforts.

In 2007 Savic switched to the outdoor game, joining Chivas USA as an assistant to then-head coach Preki before moving into the commentary booth for Kansas City matches in 2008 and 2009. Savic’s career as a commentator was cut short, however, when newly installed Manager Peter Vermes tabbed Savic to be part of his coaching staff late in the 2009 season.

Vermes was an integral part of a young U.S. team at the 1990 World Cup in Italy, where he nearly scored against the host Azzurri. It was the first time the U.S. had qualified for the World Cup in 40 years and set the stage for the progress of the U.S. National Team. In 1989 and 1990, Vermes became the first American to play in the Hungarian and Dutch First Divisions, playing for Raba ETO and FC Volendam, respectively. He later spent five years with Figueres of the Spanish Second Division.

Goalkeeper Coach | Alec Dufty Goalkeeper coach Alec Dufty is in his fifth season with Sporting Kansas City having been introduced to the organization as the Sporting KC II goalkeeper coach in the side’s inaugural season in 2016. In his first season working with Sporting KC’s goalkeepers, starting goalkeeper Tim Melia enjoyed a record-breaking season where he was named the 2017 MLS Goalkeeper of the Year.

For MLS’s inaugural season in 1996, Vermes served as captain of the New York/New Jersey MetroStars. In 1997, he was traded to the Colorado Rapids for current Sporting KC Assistant Coach Kerry Zavagnin and played in Denver through the 1999 season, leading the Rapids to the 1997 MLS Cup Final. Vermes joined Kansas City in 2000 for what would be the most successful season of his MLS career. During his first year in Kansas City, he anchored one of the best defenses in league history and won MLS Defender of the Year honors in helping lead the Wizards to the 2000 MLS Cup Championship. He retired in 2002 after appearing in 209 MLS matches (including playoffs) and playing more than 18,000 minutes. In 2013, Vermes was inducted into the National Soccer Hall of Fame. Year

A former MLS player, Dufty began his playing career with the New York Red Bulls in 2009, making one appearance before joining the MLS reserve goalkeeper pool. In 2010, Dufty joined USSF D2 Pro League side AC St. Louis, making 30 appearances before returning to MLS with the Chicago Fire in late 2010. He announced his retirement at the conclusion of the 2011 season. Dufty then took to coaching, first working with Florida Gulf Coast University and then the University of Illinois at Chicago. In 2015, Dufty served as goalkeeper coach for Toronto FC II in their inaugural USL season.

Sporting Kansas City signed French center back Nicolas Isimat-Mirin ahead of the 2021 MLS season. Isimat has played over 250 professional matches since 2010, featuring in the top divisions of France, the Netherlands and Turkey. He has logged 93 appearances each in France’s Ligue 1 and the Dutch Eredivisie, where he won three league titles as an integral member of PSV Eindhoven.

In 2014, Isimat was loaned from Monaco to PSV Eindhoven. In his first Eredivisie season, he helped PSV win the league title by a 17-point margin, leading to PSV acquiring the defender on a permanent transfer ahead of the 2015-16 campaign. He appeared in 26 matches as PSV captured another Eredivisie title. Isimat and PSV won their third title in four years in 2017-2018. In early 2019, Isimat joined Besiktas in Turkey, starting 14 matches during the latter half of the season. For the 2019-20 campaign, the defender was loaned back to Ligue 1 for a stint with Toulouse, making 16 starts.

Born in the Paris suburb of Meudon, Isimat competed in the famous Clairefontaine youth academy from 2004-2007 before continuing his development at Rennes and Valenciennes. He began his professional career as an 18-year-old in 2010 and spent the next three seasons as a regular starter for Valenciennes. Isimat-Mirin landed a transfer to French title contender Monaco, where he played 11 matches for the club in all competitions during the 2013-14 season.

Isimat represented France as a U-20 and U-21 youth international and notably featured during 2013 UEFA European U-21 Championship qualifying. He struck a center back partnership alongside future World Cup winner Raphael Varane as France finished atop their qualifying group.

Sporting Kansas City announced in January 2020 that the club had acquired central midfielder Gadi Kinda on a one-year loan from Israeli Premier League side Beitar Jerusalem. Sporting made the loan move permanent ahead of the 2021 season. Kinda has played over 200 matches in Israel since turning professional in 2011 at age 17. He starred as one of the Israeli Premier League’s best players during the first half of the 2019-20 season.

He became a regular starter for Ashdod during the 2013-2014 campaign, notably scoring his first top-fight goal in a 3-2 defeat of Israeli giants Maccabi Haifa in September 2013.

Born in Ethiopia and raised in Israel, Kinda joined Beitar Jerusalem in February 2019 and started 30 of 31 appearances in all competitions. Kinda spent the first seven and a half years of his professional career at FC Ashdod. He developed as a youth in his hometown club’s academy prior to landing an top-flight debut in September 2011 as a 17-year-old.

Ashdod spent the 2015-16 season in Israel’s second division, but a strong bounce-back culminated with a Liga Leumit title as Kinda earned 27 appearances and helped his team finish atop the standings. Ashdod’s promotion saw Kinda tally seven goals and seven assists over the next two and a half seasons before his transfer to Beitar Jerusalem. Kinda has five caps for the senior Israeli National Team, making his debut on June 5, 2021 when he scored the final goal in a 3-1 friendly win over Montenegro. He previously represented Israel at the U-18, U-19 and U-21 levels.

We competed in the second half, we didn't compete in the first half, we were second to everything. We were slow to closing people down. The ball was moving too slow. The first half lacked anything that looked like a team that was supposed to be fighting for a Playoff spot and a real opportunity tonight to jump a couple of more points ahead. So that’s what the first half looked like. The second half looked completely the opposite. Looked like a team that was playing for everything and was fighting for every ball, was competing in their challenges, was looking to play forward and run forward and put balls in front of the goal. And I mean, that's the difference. At the end of the day, tactics are irrelevant. You have to win the duels, you have to win the fight, you have to win all the scrappy stuff in there and then you can start to play soccer. And we lost all the scrappy stuff in the first half and we didn't get close to them at all defensively. And so, they dictated the game and got two goals ahead, deservingly. And the response was fantastic. And that's what it needs to look like, though. But it can't look like what it looked like in the first half this time of year. It has to look like what it looked like in the second half.” On what the message was at halftime: “Yeah, I didn't spend a lot of time at halftime talking about the first half because I just said flat out the energy and the conviction and the fight in the competitive side of it can't look like that. So, we got on to setting ourselves up in the second half, making a couple of switches. You know, Jonathan [dos Santos] and Victor [Vazquez] were both struggling physically. So, we made a couple of switches and tried to shift the energy and tried to shift the momentum and asked them to play forward, put two forwards up. Pushed a little bit more numbers high. Said, don't want to play in the back anymore, just put the ball forward and let's go, defend, and compete and press and let's try to change our energy level in the game. It wasn't about keeping possession, it was about us shifting the energy in the game, because we had none in the first half, really. And so, once the energy shifted, then we were able to start playing and we were able to start creating some chances because then we were actually moving at a real speed. And so, once that started to happen, then we started to gain control of the game. As we all know, when you start chasing games at 2-0, then it's really about putting out fires sometimes and having to deal with some things. And the guys in the back did a good job of managing some difficult transitions and some moments that looked like they were going to get a little fuzzy. And we dealt with them and kept the momentum on to get the goals we needed to at least get the draw out of it.” On the red card call that changed to a yellow card: “I didn't. It was because there was a tackle and within the tackle, I was still trying to pay attention to what was going on with that. So, I didn't see what was going on the other side of it, which is what they were actually trying to sort out the whole time. And then I was more concerned about how much time was going to be added at the end of the game, than I was about how that was going to play itself out.” On the team’s vertically and directness in the second half and if it’s something that needs to be more integrated into the team’s plan: “Yeah, I think we'll talk about this probably after most games, it's going to be the difference between us being goal dangerous and not being goal dangerous. It’s how vertical we run, how vertical we pass, how much we're willing to threaten the space behind the opposition. You know how much we're willing to play between lines and build speed and momentum and all these kinds of things. And so, you know, in the second half, obviously, it was at times with a little bit of reckless abandon at times because you're pushing for two goals. But the idea of play forward, move forward, you know, after you play a pass, try to get in behind the back line. The basic principles of attacking to break lines and to get into goalscoring positions started to come out. But it's just again, it comes with conviction and commitment to making those runs. Sometimes you get the ball, sometimes you don't, but you still got to make the run and we started to get that as the game progressed.” On Sebastian Lletget’s goal and what he asked him to do in the second half: “Yeah, we've been talking to Sebastian [Lletget] for the better part of the last week about taking up higher positions, being more goal dangerous, being more assists dangerous. His tendency as a player, and he is outstanding at keeping possession, spinning away, doing all of those things. But you know, as I spoke to him for a while yesterday, I want him to not play to his default, which is to keep possession. I want him


to play, to attack and to create chances and to score goals. And if those things aren't on, then go to your default next. Don't just go to your default at the at the beginning and him breaking the line and running through and taking a chance there meant the difference in the game, really. And that was an aggressive run that I don't know, you know, you can ask him, but maybe, maybe a week and a half ago or two weeks ago, he doesn't make, he sits out a little bit and tries to find the ball at his feet. But in this game, he's really tried this last week and I thought he was very good in the last match as well. But this week, he's really tried to emphasize more attacking runs, getting himself higher on the field, all those kinds of things, which I think is what's going to make him more influential in matches.” LA GALAXY MIDFIELDER SEBASTIAN LLETGET On the team's performance: “It was just a lack of intensity, there really is no excuse at this point because we are playing for so much. And I know it is the third game of the week and it is never easy, but I think we just lacked that intensity. We take pride in how we play and how we want to play but you can't come out there without having that fight in you first. We have to earn it, we have to earn the right to play sometimes, and I think we lacked that in the first half a little bit. When you are down 2-0 the message is pretty clear, we have to play forward, we just have to be more intense, and I thought the whole team did bring that in the second half.” On Greg Vanney asking him to play higher up the field: “We have been having these ongoing conversations and I have tried to take it upon myself because of the disruption and rhythm and not having the consistent amount of games due to scheduling and things like that. I've just tried to really learn my place in this team position wise and obviously we try so many different things and some things work, and some things don't. Sometimes we have an opposition that plays a certain way, and we adapt. It was a good conversation we had before this game that I just have to keep thinking forward because I know I can do it, it is just one of those things. I just have to keep building on that. We walk away with 7 points this week and we have two tough games now; it's not going to be easy, but we can salvage something.” On playing Seattle and Kansas City on the road: "They are historically very tough places to play. It's not even really about the surface or about the crowd, they are two really good teams, there is a reason why they are at the top. I think we are more than good enough to beat them; we just have to work on our game plan, we have to see what we can do better from this game. I don't think it is about ability at this point, we are at the point in the season where it is who wants it more. We are in a playoff spot, but we want to secure it." On the goal: "Samuel [Grandsir] was having a lot of joy and he is just so good one versus one, so I just thought, instead of staying out wide I just have to get in the box, and I think when me and Chicha [Javier Chicharito Hernandez] do that, or when we have numbers in the box, he either drags out a center back and opens up space for me or I do the same for him or whoever is in there. I think it is something we need to keep building on and things open up."

On his goal: "Samuel [Grandsir] was having a lot of joy and he is just so good 1v1, so I thought instead of staying out wide I just have to get in the box. I think when me and Chicha [Chicharito] do that, he either drags out a center back and opens up space for me or I do the same for him or whoever is in there. I think it is something we need to keep building on and things open up."
