Adrián González Post-Match Press Conference | Week 25 vs Orlando Pride | 10.18.25

Head Coach Adrián González reacts to the close 3-2 loss to the Orlando Pride. González believes the performance was enough to avoid a loss, but errors occurred in "key moments," such as immediately after scoring and at the end of the first half. He discusses the necessary rotations and conservative substitutions made to protect players from the intense schedule (three games in seven days) and ahead of the upcoming international break. The coach stressed the importance of team mindset after a loss, stating the players should not get "confused" by single results. Despite the defeat, he confirmed the team is in a good spot and more than prepared for any opponent in the playoffs, citing the team’s depth and ability to be unpredictable. He also praised Sophia Cantore's hard work adapting to the NWSL and her critical role as a forward/wing entering the postseason.
