What did Gudi say?
Such a hilarious game to watch, with 10 or 11 DC players bunkered in their own (Yankee Stadium-sized) final third. Real 'Attack vs Defense' stuff. Not much to really take away from it, but if Anton Tinnerholm can keep nutmegging people then that's pretty awesome.
Here's a quick and dirty transcription. Video is on the club's site.
Question: How's it feel to get your first assist and what does it mean for your career here in the Bronx?
Gudi: Feels good. I'm disappointed with the playing time I've been getting but I have to try to come on and make a difference. We win 4-1 today and we did well. I'm happy with the assist but, as long as the team wins I'm happy, but yeah. Good solid performance, I'm happy to help the team.
Question: Now that Mitrita is left for international duty and Maxi is still out, do you think you'll start to get more looks at the left back position while Matarrita is pushed forward? Have you had any conversation about that?
Gudi: No, havent had any conversation about that, just try to train as well as I can. As a football player, you need to feel good on the pitch to play your best and if you feel the circumstances give you the confidence that you need, obviously you're going to play better. I know I can help the team at different positions as well. So I just have to keep on pushing and do my best, but its definitely a concern for me at the moment, that I'm not playing more. But I have to look at myself as well, have to be as fit as I can. But that comes with games as well. So hopefully, that's gonna change soon.
Question: Seemed like as soon as you came on, there was a little bit of a switch-off where Mataritta allowed you to go forward. Talk to me about that ability for you guys to interchange and do you think that's something that Ronny might look at as an advantage if he tried Matarrita up on the wing that you guys can bounce back and forth.
Answer: [A bit about the actual interchange between him and Matarrita, taking up some time]. But I can't speak on the coaches behalf on what he's thinking. That's up to him. Again, my job is just to do my best in training and try to help the team when I come on. But as I said earlier, I haven't been happy with the playing time I've been getting. That's something that I have to take a look at and hopefully that's gonna change in the nearest future.
