LA Galaxy 2, New York City 0
Q. Dejan, just watching you this season, I'm seeing an evolution. I'm seeing you really developing into a full forward, someone who can do all kinds of things. What do you see in your game that you are becoming more complete as and what is driving that?
DEJAN JOVELJIC: Nothing has changed in my preparation before the game and during the week, preseason.
This season we have just, I don't want to say better players. I mean, I can say better players for me, and the players in the past years were also good, but not that good for me.
So now we have completely different team, and we are stronger. We have more confidence and we are going to continue like this.
Q. I also want to get your thoughts on Diego. I know that you were very happy with Diego's play today. We've seen him the last couple of games just be outstanding.
I mean, I don't know how many players can say that they score 70 goals plus and 70 assists as well. I think that's maybe only ten players, you can tell me. So that's an amazing thing. I saw him running, and I knew if I play good ball, he is going to score nine out of ten. So he managed to score, and I'm happy because of him.
Q. You guys got your ninth win tonight, surpassed the win total from all of last year.
Wow.
Q. You said mostly a new team and stuff. What's been the biggest key? Has it been the collective buying in or just what have you seen?
I mean, always we knew what we have to do. But now, finally, we have some real quality and real speed on the side. And plus with other players, it's completely different story this year, so maybe because of that, I don't know. I mean, I'm just happy to be here and to play with these guys, and these guys are making me better. I hope that I'm making them better. So let's go for the next one. Let's go for the third win in a row.
Q. And just how much momentum do you think you guys have going into Saturday against Salt Lake, and then you've got the big match at the Rose Bowl in a couple weeks again.
Yes, I mean, the next couple of weeks, we are going to have two big matches but I always say, we play for three points. Doesn't matter if it's 85,000 people from us or less. We've got to take points and finally win three games if a row.
Q. Let's talk about your goal. Kind of a weird lead-up to it with no call on Joseph getting hammered and Pec going through and maybe pushing the ball a little too far and the ball squirts out for you. How do you see it?
Yes, first I play to him and we were driving and I turn around, I could walk around slowly, but I was almost sprinting, and I was feeling that the ball will come to me in my direction. I was lucky enough, again, to score easy goal.
Q. What does it feel to match Furtado for tenth place on the all-time goal scoring list?
It's amazing pleasure to play on this club, like I said, but my goal is not to be in top ten. So I'm going to be up there.
