Vancouver 4, Toronto FC 0
Q. Tough result today. Obviously a bitter pill to swallow. How would you describe the team's performance?
JONATHAN OSORIO: Yeah, it was a tough one obviously. I think the effort was there. You know, it wasn't like guys weren't giving their all. Guys were giving their all. It's just we were a step behind in every play today. You know, key moments, key duels, we lost them. They were a little bit more hungry than us today and I think that's where the game was lost. But as far as effort, the guys are giving everything. This team, we don't lack effort. I wouldn't want to say that. But yes, there's lots to improve, definitely. And yeah, we will look at those things this coming beak and look to move forward and improve and get better from this.
Q. Do you feel like the team has strayed from the identity that you started the year with in these last two matches, and if so, what do you put that on?
JONATHAN OSORIO: No, I wouldn't say that. Just, again, certain key moments that we are paying the price for I think, and you know, they are just things that we have to learn as a team to learn to -- the way to avoid collectively to not give away as many chances. I think we have been lacking a hundred percent concentration for the full duration of games. I think we are, at times, we are lacking concentration, again, in key moments that, again, when you -- those key moments can determine the game -- determine how the rest of the game goes, or how the game unfolds.
So, you know, you know, this is -- this is football and we are well aware that this kind of adversity and bumps in the road are going to happen. You know, we are ready for it, and we will face it and you know, this journey wouldn't be what it is without these bumps, so yeah, it's something that this team will learn from and get better from.
Q. We saw the huddle on the field again post-match. What's your message as captain to the group right now, and what's your read on where guys are at?
JONATHAN OSORIO: To be honest, you know, the manager spoke, and Federico spoke. The message is to work, there's a lot of work to be done. It's time to be all in and if you're not all in, then you shouldn't be here, kind of thing. The message is very clear. If you want to be a part of this project, this process, you'll have to be all in, and ready to go give everything, every day. You have to give everything and be all in, and yeah, that's the clear message.
