"I think we have already pushed people's expectations, so we don't really feel any pressure there. It is just about doing as much as we can do during the week to show that on the weekend. I think the manager helps with that a lot; he is never flustered, and he never looks under pressure. He keeps the boys calm, and we are a confident group anyway, so we know we can beat anyone on our day."
"While I was injured, I think it was definitely the toughest part of the schedule because you are on the road, non-stop, two to three weeks at a time, so it was never going to be easy regardless. The thing you can take from this team is that they are always going to give 100% and whether we win, lose or draw, we will go down fighting. I think that character has got us to where we are at now."
Charlotte FC have won nine consecutive MLS matches, a competition record, following a 3-0 victory over 10-man Inter Miami. Nathan Byrne missed the first four wins due to injury but returned after the Leagues Cup break and has started each of the last five games. The team travels to face New York City FC, who have won four of their last five and sit three points behind with a game in hand. The squad emphasizes preparation, managerial calmness, collective confidence and character, with a commitment to give 100% effort in every match. Hannes Wolf leads NYCFC with 11 goals and seven assists this season.
