Adrián González Post-Match Press Conference | Week 26 at Utah Royals | 11.02.25

Head Coach Adrián González reacts to the 1-0 loss against the Utah Royals in the final regular season match, acknowledging the result was difficult given the team's limited player availability and tough couple of weeks. González attributes the result to a struggle to find the team's identity on the road and not being clinical enough. The coach pointed to missed tactical opportunities, specifically the failure to exploit space behind Utah's high defensive line and the need for more aggressive 1v1 play from players like Bates, Courtney (Brown), and Brett. Looking ahead to the playoffs, González states it will be a "completely different thing." The team successfully used the match to give minutes to international players and, most importantly, confirmed that no one got hurt. The team now has 24 hours to reset and recover before preparing for the Playoff Quarterfinal.
