Sigi Schmid Good Quotations

We are very excited about the addition of Tim Ward. He is a very good young player with a bright future ahead of him and he can play a number of different positions.

We played much better in the first half. I thought Chad's goal was a good one off the free kick. We should have scored a couple more. I thought Chad Marshall was very good. Can't say the same about everyone that played in the second half, giving up soft goals.

He's bigger than people realize and a little bit faster than people realize as well. His desire is good and his work rate is good. He is still in a phase where he's learning.

I didn't agree with that statement then and I don't agree with it now. For us, the way we played tonight ... 0-0 would have been good for us today. To snag a victory makes it all the more satisfying.

Frankie needs to step up in a more vocal leadership role, off as well as on the field. He has always been viewed as the surfer dude. He is not going to quit being that guy, but I need him to be Frankie the surfer dude who is also a good leader. I think Frankie is ready for that.

We need to improve on our concentration. We made a stride forward in the second half and proved that we can play good soccer. We should have been leading at halftime. We have to become mentally stronger.
