2019 ATLANTA UNITED GAME NOTES

QUOTE SHEETATLANTA UNITED HEAD COACH / FRANK DE BOER

POST-MATCH VS COLUMBUS CREW SC (9/14)

ATLANTA UNITED GOALKEEPER / BRAD GUZAN

On tonight’s match:“It’s exactly whatI said at halftime now. We weren’t sharp enough. We wanted to share the feeling thatwe weren’t there today. We were rusty today. We had two trainings whereI think the sharpness wasn’t there, and then, you come into this kind-of game. We play a very attractive system that if you lose too many balls, if youwill lose too many duals, and you come in transition, and then it’s up and down, itcosts you so much energy. We play more forward then the opponent. Then, they are waiting,so we can make those mistakes. Then, they are waiting with (Pedro) Santos and (Luis) Diaz who havespeed and they try to punish us, and they succeeded, but, it starts with, you know, winning your dualsand don’t lose the goals in second phase, because when you lose thethird phase, you have everybody aroundthem, and you can bring the press.”

On the long break making an impact on tonight’s match:“Of course, after a break some times, you have to start up the engine, of course. Still, the last two training sessions, I wasn’tsatisfied. We have to understand you train how you play. I am also positive that they also know that. They know it wasn’t the best training sessions. Cincinnati is coming quickly, so we have to be prepared for that.”

On the performance tonight:

“We weren’t good enough as a group. Plain and simple, (it) wasn’t good enough. We were sloppy when we had the ball, sloppy when we didn’t have the ball. We need to go back and watch it and do something different come Wednesday.”

On biggest weakness in defense tonight:

“Our ability to get close to the ball, our ability to go with runners, track runners. On another day, they could’ve had–you know,I know the third one’s an own goal but they could have–had more than the two they had. They had a good chance in thefirst half. They had a couple good chances. Again, we turn the ball over easily, we were exposed, our spacing was poor. So yeah, overall it wasn’t a good performance.”

ATLANTA UNITED MIDFIELDER / JULIAN GRESSELOn the match:

“We deserved it. They were the better team. We deserved this, not just today because of our performance but leading up to the game this week with the way we trained. We just got to take a look in to the mirror. It’s definitely not worth #1 in the East. All we can do is focus on Wednesday and hopefully prepare better and play better and get three points.”

On the long break:

“It’s normal that you’re rusty a couple of sessions coming out of a break like that where you completely want to get away. We should be able to pick it back up again, and we weren’t able to do that. We’re obviously going to talk about it and eval-uate it and hopefully change it.”

On what the team needs to do to win Wednesday:

“Just likeI said, evaluate this one and just kind of perform better. It’s as simple as that.I don’t think anyone played up to theirstandard today. We’ll hopefully change that on the road in Cincinnatiand hopefully come away with three points. I know that we have thequality. We’ve shown itover and over and over again. It’s just amatter of how we approach games I think,and we’ll –likeI said, we’ll –evaluate it and push on.”

ATLANTA UNITED 6

SCOUTING FC CINCINNATIAtlanta United travels to Cincinnati for the first time to take on FC Cincinnati in midweek action on Wednesday. The two sides have only met once before, a 1-1 draw at Mercedes-Benz Stadium earlier this season.

Head Coach Ron Jans was named coach of FC Cincinnati on August 4. He became the third head coach for Cincinnati in their inaugural MLS season, and fourth overall in the club’s history. He previously managed in the Netherlands, most recently with PEC Zwolle, where he led the club to its first major trophy, winning the Dutch Cup over Ajax. The last two seasons he was the technical director for FC Groningen before joining Cincinnati.

FC Cincinnati’s offense has struggled, but Allan Cruz and Emmanuel Ledesma lead the team with 6 goals each. As a club, the team has managed to score 30 goals in 30 matches played this season.

Defensively, FC Cincinnati has conceded the most goals in MLS heading into Wednesday’s match. They have allowed 72 goals with Spencer Richiey and Przemyslaw Tyton splitting duties in goal. Tyton has started every match since Jans took over.

Captain Kendall Waston, a Costa Rican international center back, will not play on Wednesday after picking up a red card in FC Cincinnati’s 1-0 road win at Montreal, the first win for coach Jans.

PREVIOUS CLUBS COACHED: DL Aerbin, Toronto FC, Ajax Amsterdam

DOB: 5/15/1970

BIRTHPLACE: Hoorn, Netherlands

TITLE: Head Coach

PREVIOUS CLUBS COACHED: Crystal Palace, Inter Milan, Ajax Amsterdam

• Frank de Boer was named Atlanta United’s second head coach in club history on December 23, 2018. A legendary Dutch player and coach, de Boer began his managerial career at Ajax, where he won a club-record four consecutive Eredivisie titles.

• De Boer also had an illustrious playing career, spending more than 15 combined seasons at Ajax and FC Barcelona. After retiring in 2006, de Boer soon went into coaching, beginning at the youth level at Ajax. While coaching at Ajax’s academy, known as one of the top developmental programs in all of Europe, de Boer was instrumental in the introduction and development of many youth players who went on to be distinguished players at club and international level.

• He soon took over as caretaker manager of the Ajax first team midway through the 2010-11 season. Led by numerous former academy players, his team clinched the title by defeating runners-up FC Twente 3-1. De Boer’s team followed that by winning each of the next three domestic titles, marking the first time Ajax claimed four consecutive Eredivisie titles in its decorated history.

• De Boer went on to win the Rinus Michels Award –awarded to the top manager in Dutch football –in consecutive years to become only the second coach to ever accomplish that feat, joining Guus Hiddink. He resigned as manager following the 2015-16 season with a career winning percentage of 60.3 percent.

• A legendary player for club and country, de Boer retired from international football in 2004 and at the time was the most capped player in Dutch history. With a total of 112 appearances over 15 years, de Boer helped lead the Netherlands into the quarterfinals of the 1994 FIFA World Cup and the semifinals of the 1998 FIFA World Cup. He still ranks third all-time in appearances in the federation’s history, surpassed by Wesley Sneijder and Edwin van der Sar.

• De Boer began his club playing career with Ajax in 1988 at just 18 years old. The following year, de Boer won his first title as a player, helping the club claim its 23rd domestic title. In 11 seasons as a player at Ajax, de Boer appeared in 328 matches and helped the club win the Eredivisie five times, KNVB Cup three times, Champions League (then European Cup) once and Europa League (then UEFA Cup) once.

• In January 1999, de Boer joined FC Barcelona. In five seasons at Barcelona, de Boer appeared in 144 matches and scored five goals. He finished his club playing career with stints at Galatasaray, Rangers, Al-Rayyan and Al-Shamal.

Titles won as a Player:• Ajax Amsterdam: Eredivisie (5) - 90, 94, 95, 96, 98
