Castillo: Tempo and Patience Key
"The team has been working hard to create the chances to score and sometimes we fall into frustration because we can't finish the chances we create. It's all about being patient but mantain the tempo and intensity of the game high. We must play our style and to our capacity always in any field we play. Fortunatelly today the girls found the back of the net. We still haven't done anything yet. We are still in September and are a long ways to achieve our goals but we are working hard to accomplish it. It is very hard for the girls to play how I want them to play it's a very demanding way of playing soccer. High intensity on and off the ball all the time can be very very demanding but the girls are doing it and I am very happy. We will contintue to work hard and stay focused to be ready for our next match. I wanted to thank all of the people that came out to support our team yesterday, they were amazing!".
