Toronto FC 2, D.C. United 0
Q. Given all that's happened this week, how important a win and performance was this tonight for the team?
LORENZO INSIGNE: It was a very important win this week. We needed the three points. We're glad that we won. It was a very difficult -- it was a very difficult week. A lot of things were said about the club and about us, but it was really important for us to stay together and to work hard and to continue working hard.
Q. Now that you're here in front of the microphone, can you tell us, are you happy with the club? Are you happy with Bob Bradley, so we hear it directly from you?
LORENZO INSIGNE: I'm very happy with the club. I've always been happy with the club. I am happy with the coach, as well. There's never been no discussions or arguments with the coach. I've continued to show everybody how happy I am. I go in the field, /I go on the pitch. I play, as you can see today, I'm there to help the young ones come and learn.
As you know my family is also very happy here as well, and I'm going to continue to play and as you know I'm here to tell you whatever the truth is; I'm happy.
Q. What did you make of the decision to draw up --
LORENZO INSIGNE: This is not discussions with changes between Federico and the coach. We went on the play today, and when Federico returns, he's a great champion and you'll see him again on the pitch.
Q. You've had injury problems this year. How are you feeling now?
LORENZO INSIGNE: I have been going to training every day. It's true, I've had many, many injuries this year, more than I've had in my entire career. As you know, I'm getting older and I'm becoming an old man; kidding, joking.
But I will continue to work hard every day in training and continue training. This is just part of our career and what happens. We get injured.
Q. It's been a tough couple of weeks for the club. What have you seen over the last three, four, five weeks and what have you learned about this team?
LORENZO INSIGNE: Like you said, it's been very difficult these last couple of weeks. I go down in training; we train very hard as expected. I didn't expect MLS to be as difficult as it is, and I'm learning every day and trying to adapt to it. But like I said I'm very serene here and I'm very happy here and I want to continue to want to be happy and to learn and to train my teammates.
Q. It's the team's first win this month. How does this result help you moving forward as you have two more important games coming up this week?
LORENZO INSIGNE: Like you said, I'm very happy that we won today in front of our fans and we won at home. We have another big game coming Wednesday. We have to work hard both mentally and physically because this game was very challenging that way. We are going to prepare ourselves as much as possible and recuperate so we can have a great game Wednesday against Chicago at home; and we want to thank the fan base here because our fans are great.
The victory is not the only thing that's important because we have to prepare for the next game. We have to recuperate mentally and be strong for our teammates, and we have to work together as a team to grow together. This victory is important, but there's still a long road ahead of us.
