Dean Smith Press Conference | Charlotte FC vs New York Red Bulls

being another offensively a game of almost yeah pretty much um a frustrating game I felt you know thought both teams looked a little bit Rusty at times I thought it was an untidy game I thought we built up well we've had some good opportunities um we know they're a transitional team and sometimes we just didn't quite defend the transitions well enough as the goal showed um you know we lost the ball at the top of the era but we still got 4 V3 behind double movement has took y inside and it's one that we really should stop at s so disappointed about the goal and as untiy goes team had difficulty maintaining possession of the offensive third and going up through that did you see did you see anything that you liked about tonight um yeah I there was too many unforced errors that was the biggest thing we built up really well against a pressing team and got through their press well enough at times um but again it was just a connection um you know Callis took a great ball through it great throw through to leel and we've got a 2V1 there where you know that's Red Bull's game they probably go and score from there and that's what we should be doing in them situations and you know uh we need you need the players to have a little bit better quality um you know Pep's come on and I thought he looked really bright on the ball um he'll feel he should have scored with the header um but he's got you can see his technical ability when he when he gets the ball and he'll he'll get better adding that what do you make I thought Tim Tim was steady um you know you can see he's confident and calm on the ball um a good talker I thought he had a steady game I thought both Center halfes were you know have you have to be good against a team that's strong on a transition I thought both of them did really well um you know pep I as I say he's had a good preseason with Olympia so I knew he would be able to get 30 30 minutes I mean I just didn't expect him to get his Visa through to be honest so he's not done much work with us um he's been in Canada going and getting his Visa you feel like maybe the team felt a little r little off tonight I thought both teams did that's how it looked to me um you know but I think a draw was a fair result um I didn't think we did enough to win it and I don't think that they didn't deserve to win it either does it feel like a opport are points it does it does but you've got to show the quality on the night you can't make as many unforced errors in the final third you know and expect to win the game so that's on us and we have to take that on the chin and uh but with four games unbeaten um you know so that's a positive moving forward and uh we'll look forward to Atlanta next week look like as you said about py does like to move the ball for almost every time yeah and he he looks to play forward as well you know he's he's come on only for what 30 minutes I think he's had a head he's had a couple of shots as well and he's looking to always play that killer ball as well so he's he's he's what we need at at this moment in time I think he'll be a good one to connect us I thought bran brono was really good tonight as well um you know he connected us at times um I just felt you know we we he broke down a little bit too easy today a lot of like especially ball was just straight up yeah no he he was good on the ball the opposite pocket was always on for us um it's something that we spoke about in our buildup you know if we um got it out to the fullback and come back into the six then the opposite eights would be on and um we probably didn't find that ball well enough in the second half um you know that could have given real trouble considering the time that you had and the result is there a time frame like to be able to see everything sharper before next match next couple of matches yeah I want them to be sharper um you know they've worked really hard the last three and a half weeks they've had some rest when they've needed it um you know so they'll be they'll be good um you know today we just wasn't one of them games uh for both teams but you know I I don't worry about the players um you know fitness-wise they're a really strong group um and I think think as I said in the week as this season goes on now we'll get better um you know and the challenge for them now is to keep this unbeaten run going to the end of the season um and I I believe we can go and do that and with the new folks you brought in how quickly think they'll situations well all the players that I brought in um I feel uh quality players um we've saw Snippets already of Pep today um you know we we've seen Tim you know and uh we'll get Jamie Patterson once he's once his Visa's done and they'll be ready they'll be fine thank you thank you anyone else yeah uh um just I guess talk a little bit about knowand they look yeah and that's what I want I want strength from the bench to come and try and change a game um you know would have liked to try get them on a little bit earlier uh but there's a lot of stoppages um and then when you wanted to bring them on the board and go out of Play Always defend in a corner I don't like to change when we're defending Corners um so they they'll go and get a rest and then uh tomorrow and then you know start preparing again for thatan
