Of course, we wanted to win, like always,\u00a0but again, I want to highlight the effort of the players.\u201d\u00a0  <\/p>\n<p>On the substitutes\u2019 impact\u00a0  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think the players who came in did amazingly. They were able to maintain the level of energy. I think through the game there were different moments. I think we start the first probably 20, 25 minutes in a really good manner when we scored, not only compact and solid, but also controlling the game with the ball. I think we could score maybe one more goal there. Then in the second half, we knew they were going to try to attack more and that would allow spaces for counterattacks, which we had and we couldn&#8217;t score. And then, the game is the game. And again, I think the effort of the players, in general, is fair to highlight.\u201d\u00a0  <\/p>\n<p>On Robin Jansson\u2019s return from injury and substitution\u00a0  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cRobin [Jansson] was planned to leave the game at that moment, so he\u2019s fine. He was coming back from a long period of time with inactivity, so we knew he wasn\u2019t going to be able to complete the game. Of course, Iago\u2019s substitution hurt us more, but we need to adjust with Adri\u00e1n [Mar\u00edn] and Tahir [Reid-Brown] in positions that we didn\u2019t want, but that\u2019s it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n      Orlando City SC Forward Marco Pa\u0161ali\u0107<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d say we started really good. We hadn&#8217;t conceded a goal for 80 minutes, then we made the changes and that mistake happened, but it\u2019s football. I\u2019m happy that the team showed mentality today, that we showed that we can handle things after these big losses. And, I mean, on one side, I say this team didn\u2019t deserve these losses in the past, so I\u2019m not going to speak about it anymore. I look to the future, and we can connect the future games to this game today.\u201d\u00a0  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe trained this, not only this week, but it\u2019s something we tried to improve from training to training this last week and I give props to the team and to Mart\u00edn [Perelman], the coach, that we have the patience after these losses and we come here with motivation. He motivates us, the team had their heads high, you know, we keep it high after these losses, and it was important to come here, and try to show that we can score goals. We created a lot of chances today, especially me. I could\u2019ve scored one more goal. I\u2019m sad about it, but the most important thing, in the last games we don\u2019t create as many chances like today, so this is a good way to go.\u201d\u00a0  <\/p>\n<p>On Iv\u00e1n Angulo\u2019s performance\u00a0  <\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2018Ivancho\u2019 [Angulo] had a big impact. Like last season, Ivancho did a great job, and especially today, [on the] defensive and offensive part. Like I said, everybody did their job today well. We played like a team. This is the most important thing. Ivancho is a big plus for this team, as a wingback or as a left wing. For me, it doesn\u2019t matter, he does his job every time when he plays. He\u2019s a great player, so we\u2019re going to have a lot of fun with him in the future when we play as a team and try to connect the whole team in the game plan, then it\u2019s going to look like today.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Orlando City Interim Head Coach Mart\u00edn Perelman \u201cFirst of all,\u00a0great effort\u00a0from the players.\u00a0I think we\u00a0came to a difficult\u00a0stadium\u00a0and&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":229442,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[100891,7700,4787,115,139,4786,141,140,96736],"class_list":{"0":"post-229441","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-orlando","8":"tag-clbvsorl-04-12-2026","9":"tag-marco-pasalic","10":"tag-matchday","11":"tag-news","12":"tag-orlando","13":"tag-orlando-city","14":"tag-orlando-headlines","15":"tag-orlando-news","16":"tag-they-said-it"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/229441","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=229441"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/229441\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/229442"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=229441"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=229441"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=229441"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
