Caught in Possession

Pachuca coach Enrique Meza didn't say anything devastatingly interesting to the English-speaking media after the game last night ('the game' being DC United's 2-1 win over Pachuca, which is actually a loss b/c the Mexican club advances to the CCC final), but since there's nothing like primary source material, here you go:

On United's performance...
"The result is there. The result speaks for itself. But we committed a lot of errors. Without taking anything away from DC United, we committed a lot of errors and hopefully we’ll be able to not make those mistakes in the future."

On United's attack:
"With the inclusion of Moreno in the lineup, Jaime and Gallardo are very dangerous up top and I thought that defensively also, they’re a very well-balanced team."

Why do Mexican clubs dominate MLS sides in international competitions?
"I couldn’t tell you what the difference is, but I know that their football is very dynamic. They have good players and it’s very respectable in MLS. But I couldn’t really say what the difference is."

Coach, you won both DC matches with substitutes' goals. Why'd you pick Damian Alvarez to come off the bench? (Alvarez scored the series-clinching goal.)
"Damian was coming off an injury that kept him off the field for four months. Tonight he was able to play well, I thought. He helped us tonight with the result."

Meza's thoughts on the recent firing of Mexican national team coach Hugo Sanchez:
"They should have given more time to Hugo, for the process to keep going. I’m onto of an opinion that he should have been removed from the national team…the interim coach, Jesus “Chucho” Ramirez would be a good coach, or Javier Aguirre [currently coaching Spanish side Atletico Madrid]."
