Media Conference


Toronto FC 2, San Jose 2

Q. A disappointing end to the game, but can you tell us what you thought about your first experience playing for Toronto?

DOMENICO CRISCITO: Happy to have played my first game with TFC. It's a shame for the end because we had a lot of chances and there were a lot of mistakes for us for some goal shots. And at the end of the day, they had only those two shots on goal and they made it end.

Q. You played at left back tonight -- obviously played as well as center back. Is there a position that you prefer, left back or sent are back?

DOMENICO CRISCITO: So for me, it's the same, and I always try to do my best, whatever position the coach actually put me in, and of course for my natural abilities, the left back is my natural side but I as a center back, I always push to the max.

Q. What did you make of the atmosphere of BMO Field and your first taste of the MLS action in terms of the fan atmosphere?

DOMENICO CRISCITO: It was a really beautiful and great atmosphere, and actually the fans helped us a lot. And it was a great welcome and I want to thank the fans for it.

Q. What do you think about the level of play in both sides of your first MLS action?

DOMENICO CRISCITO: I think that both teams ran a lot tonight, and maybe tactically, we are more focused in Italy, but I think we played very well this game, and we had a lot of occasions in front of the goal of the net so it was missed opportunities.

Q. You are used to playing in Europe, and no off-season season in July. How did you feel physically playing in July?

DOMENICO CRISCITO: So my last game in Europe was in May. I've been training for the last month or so and I've been training with the team just only three or four times. So with the coach, we were thinking about playing the first half, maybe a little bit more.

I made it, thankfully, to 80 minutes, but because of the cramps, I had to leave. But I'm very happy and actually I wanted to play more.
