New York Red Bulls II Head Coach John Wolyniec
On what makes his group so special:
It’s a number of things, I’d say first that they are a good bunch of guys. They work really hard. We make them work really hard but they buy in and they’re all with it. We’re very deep, we have a lot of guys contributing and going places. It speaks to a lot of things like our academy, Jesse [Marsch], those guys, what we are doing day in and day out.
On Tyler Adams and David Najem switching positions:
Tyler played on Thursday night so he wasn’t going to be a full participant in this game, so fatigue wise we were cautious. And we just figured that Tyler has played some outside back in the past so we just wanted to look at it. Since he was only playing 45 minutes, this was a game to look at.
On how they beat FC Montreal, a team who came in hot:
First you have to give credit to Kyle [Reynish], who made some big saves. We saw the game start to open up a little bit and listen, they had some very good individual players up top. We did a good job of taking them away even when we had the ball and accounting for guys and communicating between the team.
On the records set:
I mentioned to the guys about goals against and shutouts before the game because we are focused, especially lately. We’ve been giving other teams nothing and going after shutouts. The guys have been doing that very well and a number of wins have come from shutouts so it’s been a focus of ours. We take a lot of pride in what we do but the main focus is to win.
On Speedy Williams’ injury:
He hurt his ankle in the Harrisburg game and we didn’t think it was too bad, but he hasn’t been on the training field since then so it’s been a little frustrating for him and us. He’ll be back sooner than later.
