Peter Nowak Win Quotations

We are not defending anything. We want to win another championship. This cup we already have in our trophy case is important. We want to win another trophy with new names on it.

L.A. didn't win the game tonight -- we lost this game because we didn't fight, we didn't run, we were too predictable and not creative enough, ... We weren't hungry for those three points.

All the results we've had put us in a spot where we can fight for first place. A game like that shouldn't happen to us. It's a good cold shower for all of us. If we keep thinking it's going to be easy with cute soccer, we cannot win the games.

We're getting smarter, that's for sure, ... It's still not perfect, we still have to work on a couple of things. We were winning 3-0 and we have to keep the lead and make sure nothing like that happens in the future. We put ourselves in a difficult spot and, for our confidence, it's not good to have a lead and then get shaky at the end.

We played well in the first half, and made all of the adjustments we had to make in the second to win the game. I am very pleased with the way we played our first game here tonight.
