Jesse Marsch
On the importance of the game…
There is still importance to this game because of the Canadian Championship and there is the pride factor. Pride in our team, pride in our club, pride in our city. You can see that the team is motivated in all the right ways, it’s just now making sure what the game is going to be like, what it’s going to be like going there and playing a team that has not won in a while.
On the partnership between Wenger and Di Vaio…
When we realized that Felipe wasn’t going to be an option, then we figured it was a good time to try and build that relationship between Andrew and Marco. They like to play with each other and Marco has helped Andrew in a lot of different ways, trying to give him some ideas here and guiding him in little ways, so we need to push that.
From 4-2-3-1 to 4-4-2 without Felipe…
I think Sinisa (Ubiparipovic) and Justin (Mapp) has filled that role, but in the 4-4-2, we have asked Marco to come underneath a little bit more and not be along the line as much. It seems to be good for him and for the team and he has shown he could still do that role in a good way.
