LA Galaxy 3, Vancouver 1
Q. What did it take to put Wednesday's game behind and get things turned around?
JOSEPH PAINTSIL: Yeah, turning our mindset to this game was really important. The last Wednesday game was really a game that we wanted to win but it was not possible based on our mistakes everything and but that's football.
We need to keep our hopes high, and yeah, we just bounced back today and it's really important for the supporters and as you can see, we haven't lost any single game at home.
So we need to keep this kind of mentality towards all the games that is really ahead of us, especially the next away game. It's also really important for us to take some points there and then come back home and show whatever we have to show as we have always been doing in the first season we started this league.
I think our mentality is really strong even though we were a little bit discouraged on Wednesday, but as you can see we just put it aside and focus on this game because this game also decides, also, and give us the hope, also, of winning the conference, winning our stage of the league.
So it's really an amazing comeback from the team, the technical team and everyone and everyone did a great job.
Q. Wondering what you think this team needs to be better at when you get to the playoffs. What is it you're looking to tidy up if you're going to win a championship?
JOSEPH PAINTSIL: I think we are already doing great. The only thing we need to be better is trying to defend what we have scored, like if we scored in the first half, we need to try to defend and score more but it happens, even the greatest clubs in history also concede goals and make it difficult for themselves.
But we are in a position that we contain everything around by making our mentality of winning the trophy. That is what we have made our mind now but as we keep learning as football players, we still have to learn and just keep the focus and just keep believing and just keep believing in each other, and I think even though we make mistakes, the most important thing is to win and when we win, we always have the three points and the three points always puts us in a good direction.
Q. With your goal, the Galaxy become the the first team in MLS history to have four players score ten goals or more in a season. Did you think that was possible looking back at the beginning of the year?
JOSEPH PAINTSIL: Yeah, I think kudos to the technical team. Kudos to everyone involved bringing us together as a team. We didn't do it together, even though it was me, Riqui and the rest, we did it as a team. It's really an amazing thing that the four of us have ten plus goals, it's a plus for us and for the team.
It will also give us the confidence to do extra more and to also write our name in the history book of L.A. Galaxy at the end of the season. That's what we always are trying to make it manifest and let it happen. Everyone wants to write his name in the book of L.A. Galaxy at the end of this season.
