FC Cincinnati Head Coach Pat Noonan previews FCC's Leagues Cup matchup against Pumas UNAM and discusses the challenge of building on the club's 3-1 victory over Pachuca. Noonan shares his thoughts on the tournament standings, why FC Cincinnati remains focused on securing another win rather than goal differential scenarios, and the mentality required to advance against one of Liga MX's most recognizable clubs.
Noonan breaks down what stands out about Pumas, including the experience of players such as Pedro Vite, Adalberto Carrasquilla, Uriel Antuna, and legendary Costa Rican goalkeeper Keylor Navas. He discusses the challenge of facing a talented Liga MX side coming off a difficult opening result and why FCC expects a highly motivated opponent at TQL Stadium.
The FC Cincinnati manager also provides insight into squad rotation during the congested Leagues Cup schedule, the importance of balancing fresh legs with tactical understanding, and the growing depth across the roster. Additional topics include Gerardo "Dado" Valenzuela's development in midfield and how FC Cincinnati can improve its starts after coming from behind in recent victories.
