Adrián González Matchday -1 Press Conference | Quarterfinal Match vs Racing Louisville | 11.07.25

Washington Spirit Head Coach, Adrián González, previews the NWSL Playoff Quarterfinal against Racing Louisville FC, confirming that the team is ready and the preparation has been "completely different" this week. González provides a positive update on injured players, stating that Bates and Courtney are both "improving a lot". He outlines the tactical focus for the match: Louisville is "very dangerous in transitions", and to counter this, the team must be aggressive in the press and avoid being "too stretched". The coach also notes that the high back line and high goals-against of Louisville presents opportunities for his players to run behind and exploit spaces. González states that the team is in a "different moment, momentum" than the previous season, and emphasizes the importance of a great, "sold out" environment at Audi Field to help push the players. 👇 Don't forget to comment, like, and subscribe for more updates on the Washington Spirit! 👇 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMlOyKf_b7toiIWFUAQ5ISQ About The Washington Spirit The Washington Spirit is the premier professional women’s soccer team based in Washington, D.C. and plays at Audi Field in Buzzard Point.
