00:00Do you feel any, I don't know if pressure is the right word,
00:03excitement about another chance at breaking through
00:06and getting that title going into the playoffs?
00:09Yeah, I think definitely more excitement going into it,
00:13like the opportunity to right the wrongs of the last two years
00:16and hopefully go one further.
00:18I think especially it being at Audi Field,
00:21that's an extra motivation for us to be able to compete
00:24in that championship game in front of our own fans, our home fans.
00:29And so, yeah, I think it's more excitement than anything.
00:32I mean, every year there's a pressure that we put on ourselves
00:35because we want to be successful and we want to get to those games.
00:38But I think now that we're in the position where we've made it to the playoffs,
00:42there's just a real motivation and determination to make sure we take it
00:47week by week and are successful in this quarterfinal first
00:51and then we see what comes after that.
00:53What is it you all feel you have to do well in this game coming up
00:57by this weekend to make sure you get to the next round?
01:01I think doing the basics right first and foremost being the team
01:05that puts in the most effort and fights for every loose ball,
01:09being strong in the tackle, being aggressive in our press,
01:11and then trying to be controlled on the ball,
01:14just doing the things that have got us to this stage.
01:16But with that extra little bit of fight and desire that, as I said before,
01:20will give our fans the energy to then help us through the game
01:23when there will undoubtedly be difficult moments
01:27because Portland are a good team.
