LA GALAXY II HEAD COACH MIKE MUÑOZ
On tonight’s performance:
“This for me is what the Galaxy II project is all about: investing in our young guys, investing in our academy, investing in young talent who we think have a ton of potential. When we’ve played these guys this year, we’ve been dangerous, we’ve scored a lot of goals, we’re exciting. I’m really happy with the performance and the energy, especially after coming back from a tough road trip. It was great to see this kind of response.”
On Alex Mendez’ first professional goal:
“Alex is a really multi-functional type of player. He can play deep to help us out at the back. He can play higher up the field because he’s very dangerous with his passing ability and his ability to shoot. He’s really that complete type of midfielder that we are looking for. I’m really happy that he got his first goal because he deserves it.”
On carrying momentum to next week’s contest against Orange County SC:
“That will obviously be an extremely tough game since it’s a derby. We have to make sure that we clean up our defense, and that’s a whole collective effort. That will make us much tougher to play against. Then obviously continue to execute on the goal scoring front.”
