Jaime Moreno Quotations

Last year was tough with a lot of injuries, so this was good that I was able to make an impact, ... I know it comes from all the hard work that I've put in during the preseason.

We just didn't deserve to win today. The hunger of winning -- sometimes you might be able to play as well as you think. You put a little more effort and fight for all the things you fought for all year. You might come out of the game and say, 'Okay, we did all we could.' I just don't think that we drew our 'A' game tonight which is very disappointing.

We came out very flat. We just didn't deserve to win today.

We're a little disappointed. We've got to do better, we know that, because in the playoffs, we're going to get punished.

Too naive ... We keep beating ourselves. We know soccer doesn't end until the referee blows the whistle and we've just got to keep working and not make so many mistakes. . . . It's a slap in the face to wake us up and realize there are people out there that want to beat us badly. We missed a good opportunity tonight.

It was a nice ball by Christian, and I was fortunate to get there. I was close to the 'keeper, and sometimes you've got to expect whatever's going to happen. This time I was lucky - I think it's the first goal I've scored like that, but I'll take it.

No one wants to see a player that young retire. He's a big weapon we have.

It's important for the league, and especially for our club. A lot of players were waiting for this opportunity. I think it will be a great experience and hopefully it will open the door for American teams to play more of these kind of games.

I told (Wang) from the beginning, I'm not a fighter myself, but there are things my body is capable of doing, and I would like to do those things.

It's not going to be easy, but we're motivated. We've come here to play, and tomorrow we're playing to win. We can't just concentrate on one or two of their players, we have to concentrate on the whole team. You know, football is full of surprises.

It's going to be good for us, for our confidence and our belief. We just had a bad little three games and now we're back on track. We always try to maintain the same level to keep winning and now, with this win, I think it's going to be great.
