LA Galaxy 4, San Jose 3

Q. Can you talk just a little bit about the myriad shifts that happened in this game where you guys were in control and lost control and had control again, and just weathering that storm?

RIQUI PUIG: Yeah, I think that the team played really got first 30 minutes, but we are in the top and we cannot play the laugh ten minutes of the first half. I think that we need to be more compact and we need to play better, and for sure, these type of games, we need to finish the game and to make more goals.

Q. I know you're going to focus on the bad things, but the good things in that first half, you and Gastón, Gastón was injured last year and he's come back. This was sort of his really good game I thought he had, and then the game that you two can play together, how is that developing this year, maybe a little different than last year?

I want to be clear, I am really happy we win three points and we are in the top of the league. But I think that if we want to win this MLS, I think we need to be more focused. I think that we lose the concentration the last ten minutes of the first half, but with Gastón, you can see we have a lot of confidence together. We play really good. He know me really good, and when you have players on your side like that, it's really easy to play.

Q. You score, Joseph scored, Gabriel scored. In fact, all three designated players scored. How important is that to this team?

Yeah, for the team, we are happy. It's more for you, the DPs, we need to be in the top always to make good performance. But I think that the team doesn't care about who scores. I think that it's more important, the group, the three points, and I think that this performance, we make really good things but we need to improve a lot of things.
