"“I want to reinforce the resilience of this group, in that we never give up,” the LAFC boss said ahead of Sunday's clash with the Houston Dynamo. “You know, we're a group that has 18 games in about two months and a week. And in those 18 games, we lost two. We keep grinding, pushing and our guys have an amazing mindset and that's important.”"
"“So, it's like almost two minds coming into our matches. You want to have guys set up for you to win the game, always. When you have imperfect games like this [against SDFC], you have to highlight a lot of the positive things.”"
"“And coming back in the way we did, in this stadium, against an opponent that needed the win badly too, it shows the mindset of our guys and that that's an amazing place to be.”"
LAFC coach Marc Dos Santos credits his team’s resilience and mindset as key to responding after a Concacaf Champions League exit. LAFC were eliminated by Toluca, losing 5-2 on aggregate after a 4-0 defeat in the second leg. In MLS, LAFC remain competitive with 21 points after a 2-2 draw with San Diego FC. The match featured sustained pressure, but LAFC responded late with goals from Denis Bouanga and Ryan Hollingshead to secure a point. Dos Santos emphasizes persistence through a demanding schedule, highlighting positive aspects of imperfect performances and the ability to come back in difficult circumstances.
