FC DALLAS 1, CHIVAS USA 1
CHIVAS USA HEAD COACH PREKI
On the result:
I am happy with the performance of our team, I think we played very descent, we made one or two mistakes, we paid for one but on the other side of things we created so many chances. I am a little bit disappointed that we didn't win the game, because we should have won that game. On the other side, I feel at least I deserve the point.
On the subs made during the second half:
All the subs that came in gave us a good lift, especially on a hot day like this, we needed some fresh bodies to give us a lift and that's exactly what they did.
On Galindo's goal:
It was a good goal. It wasn't the prettiest goal but in the first half we made very good opportunities and we didn't take advantage and we did on the ugly opportunity but that is football. We'll take it.
CHIVAS USA FORWARD MAYKEL GALINDO
On the team's attitude:
I think that the attitude that the team showed was positive, it was an away game and we had a lot of chances to score that we missed. I think that we played with a very positive attitude. From my part, I think everybody knows that I am not fully recuperated from the surgery I had but I feel happy. The team needed more speed and that's what Preki told me. When I got in, there were a lot of balls on empty spaces.
On his goal:
It has been a while since I played. I am a forward and forwards feed themselves from goals. So scoring that goal helps me lift my emotion a lot more and in all aspects, like the desire of wanting to play the next game, trying to make the team better.
CHIVAS USA MIDFIELDER RAPHAEL WICKY
On the draw:
I am excited that I got to play and that we finally draw, I think it is important not to lose the first game of the season and to help the team but we have to continue to work in the next months.
On the team's performance:
We had a good game but we need to score more goals. We have to be better in the box, we had a lot of good chances and we have to score more goals so that we can get more points.
On his debut with Chivas USA:
I am happy with myself that I came in for a few minutes and it was important for me to be on the team since the beginning, and help the team but the most important is that we got the goal and a point.
