He looks pretty good to me, so we will see. We have some options, and we'll find a way for Santino to contribute to the team.

It was good to sit down with Freddy away from the pressure and emotion of the season. Seeing Freddy succeed as a member of our team and meet individual expectations are both priorities for me.

Everyone is reading about the situation in New York right now but this stuff is not important for us. My message to the players is very simple and very strong. This is not our distraction. This situation is dangerous because people's livelihoods are at stake. So the game is important to them and they will give everything. I don't want to have a bad feeling after this game that we came in too comfortable.

Everyone is getting better, including Ben, ... We have different options. There are a lot of guys who can step up on the field and make a difference. We didn't make a decision yet. I think everyone is ready. This is the most important thing -- to keep the group ready. Whoever will play, whoever will start, they have a responsibility to do the job. Everyone understands how important this game is.

We know when we signed Facundo here he was going to be a great defender. We had to play him in the first couple of weeks at a different position, as a sweeper. We had to insist on him communicating. That's why he played a couple of games as a marker. Right now, he goes back to his natural position. I think he did very well today in communicating with the guys in the front and the back.

I'm extremely disappointed, ... The result is a translation of what's going on on the field. I cannot mention one player who had a good day. If we want to think about the playoffs coming up, right now we have to wake up and make sure this thing never happens again.

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.

We play at home right now. It's a different game.

The refereeing, right now, is getting out of hand. We have five games or four games and we have three red cards, it is unacceptable, ... The handball in the 89th minute was pretty obvious, everyone is fighting for their lives, fighting for the playoffs and we cannot lose games because someone had a different view of the game

Of course, we learned our lesson from last season, when we (gave up) the third goal and the fourth goal and we lost at home 4-0. And we had a couple of games when we really had to track the deficit in the game. I don't want to have this kind of situation where we have to trail the result every game. We have to do better.
