Charlotte FC v Chicago Fire: No deep chats with in-form Cuypers, says Berhalter - Soccer News
Briefly

Gregg Berhalter, head coach of Chicago Fire, supports star scorer Hugo Cuypers' impressive performance with eight goals in 12 matches, stressing he won't disrupt his momentum. With the team sitting 11th in the Eastern Conference, Berhalter has maintained minimal communication with Cuypers to let him continue thriving. Meanwhile, Charlotte FC, after a setback against Orlando City SC, seeks to bounce back from their last defeat. Coach Dean Smith expressed frustration over preventable goals that cost them the match, particularly highlighting the team's vulnerabilities at critical moments.
"I've had very few conversations with Hugo since the start of the campaign. He's doing a great job and working hard. There's not much that needs to be said."
"That's the disappointing part. The preventable goals all seem to have come in a spell. You don't often see Kristijan Kahlina beaten from distance."
