Adrián González | MD-1 Press Conference | Matchday 14 at Gotham FC | 07/14/26

On Matchday minus one ahead of a historic match-up with our rival Gotham FC at Citi Field, Coach González echoed the sentiment that the team is honored to play in big-crowd environments, viewing it as validation that the Spirit are playing quality soccer. When asked about Gotham’s style, he emphasized that the team would not change their identity, focusing instead on being "brave on the ball" and identifying spaces to progress against Gotham's high press. He also noted that while the team is in a good spot and improving every week, they have not yet reached their full potential.

The key message to the Team: "Be ourselves. We don't need to do anything special because of the scenario, the opponent, or the type of game. It is another game."
