Live broadcast bar, August 24-the semi-final of the US Open. Cincinnati failed to compete with Miami International in penalty kick. Coach Pat Noonan and the players were interviewed after the game.
Talking about the reaction of the players, Noonan said: “They are very depressed. They have paid a lot, but once again we fell short when we had the chance to enter the final. The players are very uncomfortable now. They should have… at such a moment, we must resume the game well. We have lost two important games recently, and how to get out of the dilemma now depends on us.
When you lose the second ball, this feeling is very difficult because you have lost all the motivation. You can see that we lost some confidence at the beginning of overtime, which cost us. But you have to say that Campana runs well, which makes a difference in one or two moments. I think the players perform well, which is why the game is so glued.”
Jiubaoyu, who scored a goal in overtime, also said: “We should have finished the game in 90 minutes. We were very disappointed and missed many opportunities. Penalty kick is always five or five. You don’t know what will happen, but before that, we should score goals. This is too bad. What can I say? I am disappointed now, but we are still at the top of the list.”
The side guard Alvaro-bareal said: “It’s very sad. We should have moved on when we had the chance, but we didn’t.”
Cincinnati club owner Lindner said: “It was a difficult night and an exciting night. We were disappointed with the result, but we were proud of the performance of the players, I am very proud of our coaching team and the achievements made by our players over the past year. This game shows our determination to play against the team where one of the best players in the world is located.
I am disappointed with the result, but I also congratulate Miami International. They also showed great courage. I think we have an advantage in the whole game, except for some moments, maybe this is what we need to improve. Many people in the world are watching tonight’s game. I think they have seen what a wonderful atmosphere our stadium has.”
