Real Monarchs SLC 4-0 LA Galaxy II
Zions Bank Stadium; Herriman, Utah
August 25, 2018
Real Monarchs SLC
Interim Head Coach Jamison Olave
On the shutout:
“Good. There was confidence with the team in winning 4-0. That’s great. The last game was a hard game for us after going 2-0, 2-2 and then 3-2 in the end. Today, 4-0, that’s great because like I said in the last game, we are still creating opportunities, but our concern was in the backline and giving away easy goals. Today, that wasn’t the case.”
On the Monarchs offence:
“It made me feel great. We created many chances tonight, put four away and that’s the way it should be. Last game, we created many chances and we put three away, but we gave away two. Today, we created and didn’t give chances away. It was a perfect result.”
On a quick turn-around against Colorado Springs:
“They know we have nine games left and every game from now is important looking towards the playoffs. We want to finish in first place and be a strong team in the playoffs to get into the final.”
Defender Kalen Ryden
On the shutout:
“It feels good. It’s been four, five, maybe six games since our last shutout. We’ve been frustrated with the goals we’ve given up in those last games and we’ve really honed in on our defensive work, training in this last week and the week before. A shutout was a big priority tonight and we came out and got the job done.”
On the Monarchs offence:
“Credit to our attackers, we put together some lovely goals tonight. We’ve got quality players in the midfield and up top and they showed that tonight.”
On the match against Colorado Springs:
“It’s going to take a lot of recovery the next couple days. We’ve struggled on the road as of late and we are really looking to turn that around. We think Wednesday is a good day for us to do that.”
