Atlanta 2, Toronto 1
Q. I don't think I've every seen an ending to a game like that, how Atlanta scored. What did you make of the way they won the game like that?
FEDERICO BERNADESCHI: Honestly, it's strange that they won like that but, I mean, this is happen in football, this is happen. We know this is happen to the keeper once in a career maybe. And this is happen tonight; we have to accept that.
But I want to say that Luka is our brother. He's training very good and giving everything to the team, and we are all of us, we are with him 100%.
Q. Before the game John was saying that he wanted a back-to-basics approach from you guys. Was that a better performance in terms of the 95 minutes before that?
FEDERICO BERNADESCHI: 100% I agree. We had a great week this week. We come back together. We lost maybe some feeling in New York, but this week we had hard week in training. We come back together. We come back to the basic. We training very hard.
And I think everyone can see the game tonight, we didn't deserve to lose. We played a great game away against a great team like Atlanta.
We had a lot of chance to score, and I mean, I -- we didn't deserve to lose honestly, but this is the reality. I think we will be good if we continue in this way our training, training to win, stay together, come back together like we are right now.
Q. Now four losses and seven games without a win. Is there fear that season is starting to slip away a little bit. Can you turn this around?
FEDERICO BERNADESCHI: No, I don't think so. I think we are in the good spot. We knew that we did a mistake, but we start in the week for me, for at that point, we have to be brave about the performance tonight.
We have to be brave about the sacrifice that we put on the field.
We are in a good spot. We didn't in New York, but we come back. The game at home, honestly, against Chicago and against Nashville, was a strange game. With Chicago we come back to the holiday. Maybe we weren't focus.
On Nashville game honestly we deserve to win. But I think if we continue like that, in this spot, training like this honestly. We are in a good spot for me. This is my opinion.
Q. It's always tough to concede right before halftime. Seemed like the team came out with a good push to this second half. Tell us a little bit about what was said at halftime and about your goal today.
FEDERICO BERNADESCHI: John I think change something about the pressing, put me in the wingback position. I think in the first half, too, we create a chance to score. But they scored before but we knew that we can come back and we did. We did honestly. We played very good in the send half.
John was very clear on the first half. He say what we need to change for pressing, what we need to change for some -- he gave to us some advice.
We come back strong because we know we are strong. Honestly, when we play this year, I never see a team like, okay, maybe this is better than us or something like that. I never see a team much better than us honestly.
If we lost the game, it's only about us. With still working on this page and we have to continue like this. This is my opinion.
Q. Not a lot of time before the next game. Busy stretch ahead. How do you approach this run of matches, this important run you guys have coming up?
FEDERICO BERNADESCHI: Absolutely we know that Wednesday is very important for us. We play at home. I would be happy if the fans will come to support us now in a tough moment like that. We need them. I will be happy if this will be. I'm calling them for come on Wednesday because we need them.
We need them, we need their support. I think we will do everything on Wednesday and I think we will be ready for win this game.
