""We want to be able to play a little bit faster, to find different ways to get in the box. And even against a team that is deep, to still be able to play in tight spaces and then get the third guy running through," Bradley said after the Montreal defeat."
""We had moments that were promising, but it was an afternoon where we lacked the final part, being able to get the ball across in the right way, or an extra pass to set up an even better shot, a recognition of how to make the last part of the move a little bit faster.""
""It was a tough game. I knew it would be, but I saw a team with togetherness, and we have to bring this fighting spirit all the time on the field. We did it sometimes this season, not all the time, but we have to do this all the time.""
