Post-Match Quotes: U.S. WNT 2, Italy 0
March 7, 2008
U.S. head coach Pia Sundhage, on dealing with high pressure during a physical game: “You win in different ways. Against China was one way, and against Italy was another way. You are playing against a physical team, and during the game, it is a lot of hard work. And that’s one part of soccer, so it’s good to get out with a win and deal with the feeling that (the game) is not easy. You have to be precise with your passes, you have to precise receiving the ball and that is a good experience for all of us. Even for me as a coach, sometimes I say, ‘just play it behind the back line’ which would an easier way to play, but that’s not the way we want to play and that’s not the way we can win the big games in the future.”
