"We always want to face the best opponents, and a D.C. United with Tai Baribo is certainly a force to be reckoned with. We are preparing and planning accordingly, but we cannot control what we cannot control."
"Whether he's in the building, travelling or not, that's a narrative we cannot drive and control, so we're only focused on us and the team that we think will play."
Philadelphia Union head coach Bradley Carnell emphasized that the team will not overly focus on Tai Baribo, who may return to face them with D.C. United. Baribo, a former Union player, scored 18 goals last season and has three goals in six games for D.C. Despite Baribo's scoring ability, Carnell stated that the team is concentrating on their own preparations. D.C. United has struggled recently, sitting ninth in the Eastern Conference after several defeats.
