MAJOR LEAGUE SOCCER QUOTE SHEET
SATURDAY, JULY 9, 2005 - CHIVAS USA 5, REAL SALT LAKE 1
CHIVAS USA HEAD COACH HANS WESTERHOF
On the game:
"I'm happy for our win because we played a very atractive style of football. Still, I believe that we kept making mistakes and there are some aspects of our game that need to improve to become an offensive team that I'm expecting as a coach."
On the impact of the victory on his team:
"This victory gives my players confidence. I feel that we lost some games that we did not deserve to lose, just like last week against Chicago, in which we should end with at least one point."
CHIVAS USA FORWARD MATT TAYLOR
On the game:
"These are the kind of games that I want to play because I know that I can make an impact. We knew that we had to play well and win this game. There are players that make it do-or-die for us and it's good to go out and get results."
On his play and his goal:
"It's a great feeling. I was frustrated because I had not started in the first game against Salt Lake. It was hard for me, because I had played well against them during the preseason. I knew that we hurt them because they are struggling defensively."
REAL SALT LAKE HEAD COACH JOHN ELLINGER
On the game:
"There were five goals scored on us; four of them were clearance problems and one of them was a penalty kick. We worked on clearing the ball yesterday. If you can't clear the ball in a game or in this league you shouldn't be in the league, plain and simple. Chivas had a feeding frenzy on us."
On the future for RSL:
"This game is over. It's the past now and we have an Open Cup game on Wednesday, so now we have to deal with that one."
On the own goal:
"Well we couldn't even tell and they didn't show a replay. We didn't know who scored the goal, I didn't know it was an own goal - somebody just told me."
