Adrián González Matchday -2 Press Conference | Matchday 25 vs Chicago Stars FC | 09.18.26

Head Coach Adrián González previews Washington Spirit's trip to Chicago, discussing how the team has adapted its attack without Leicy Santos's unique skill set, an honest read on last week's underwhelming performance, and what a successful performance actually looks like beyond the scoreline. González also breaks down the coaching staff's emphasis on compactness and reducing distances across the field, and how they adjust around whichever center forward — Sofia, Ashley Hatch, or Gift Monday — is on the pitch.
