POSTGAME QUOTES
2008-09 CONCACAF Champions League
Joe Public FC at New England Revolution
September 2, 2008 – Gillette Stadium (Foxborough, Mass.)
JOE PUBLIC HEAD COACH KEITH GRIFFITH
“Well, to God be the glory. It’s been a good journey coming from Barbados to join the team a month ago. The players have responded well. Our chairman, Mr. Jack Warner, has supported the team extremely well and all our executives. I want to thank my technical staff and most of all of the players who performed - all I can say: incredible. And to Gregory Richardson, who we go back four years ago in Barbados, congratulations to Gregory Richardson to a job well done.”
“To be honest with you and not being boastful we saw New England play against Toronto and knew the wingbacks are weak and we have quick players like Jackie – Jackie Chan – his correct name is Gregory Richardson - and we learned from that and tonight what we should have done at Marvin Lee what we did. (The Revolution) played extremely well, very professional, very well organized. New England is a good team. They play around (Shalrie) Joseph and once you [neutralize] Joseph, well then, New England can’t play.”
NEW ENGLAND REVOLUTION HEAD COACH STEVE NICOL
“We’ve got nothing in the tank. We started a Champions League game with no forwards. That says it all … Well, no forwards, injuries, fatigue. What else do you want me to throw on? Nobody likes getting beat 4-nil at home, but as I said, you just got nothing in there, so what’s left? No forwards, injury, fatigue, what’s left? Suspensions? That’s the only thing we didn’t have – players suspended. We’ll move on. We’ll get some strength back in the next couple of weeks and we’ll play on.”
If losing tonight helps the end goal of MLS Cup …
“Absolutely … now we concentrate on the league. I don’t know what else to tell you. The last three months we’ve played every four days, with a roster of 18. You’re traveling and that’s what you get tonight - you get a team that’s getting no juice. We might be able to manage a training session or two in the next couple of weeks, and get some strength back, and get on with MLS.”
