John Ellinger Pressure Quotations

Gomez, Jaime, Freddy, they can play some ball. If you don't put pressure on them, they're going to pick their spot and they're going to bury it. It really doesn't matter who was in goal.

If you are an opponent watching our game film, what are you going to do? You're going to higher pressure us and make us try and cough the ball up. So we have to get better at not coughing the ball up under pressure.

If you start your pressure at the top of the circle, but when they get to that point it becomes live and everybody has to get tight and do their job, and that's not how it happened. There's big room for improvement there.

The effort was better tonight, but the bottom line was still a negative result. We played a 3-4-3 tonight to keep the pressure coming down the front, everything was positive except the final result and everyone is down about the final result. We had more of a fighting spirit tonight and played more physically.

The fighting spirit was better. Pressure on the ball was better, and we played a bit more physical tonight, which was good.
