Photos and Quotes: LA Galaxy defeat Houston

Guillermo Barros schelotto

On the LA Galaxy’s second half performance:

“I got happy because after Houston tied the game, we fought to win. We deserved to win. We made everything to get the ball. To be direct, or play, but everything we did on the field was to win, not for a tie or keeping the ball, or try to do something. I think I am very happy, because we fought, and we won. Sometimes we fight and you can’t, but today I think the team, after Houston tied, we were looking to win. I am happy because we found another way than in other games, we tried today.”

On Romain's injury

“I don’t know. Just, I need to talk with the doctor. Maybe tomorrow, or Monday, when he can do something in the clinic, because it’s the knee, but I don’t know what happened.”

Zlatan Ibrahimovic

On win streak:

“Now we are winning. We should not relax and just focus on ourselves because I think our only threat is ourselves because if we relax, if we start to underestimate the team we play against we will get punished. We need to respect them, but still play like ourselves because if we do we are a threat for any team in this league.”

Diego Polenta

On thinking about the months he didn’t play, and now he is here celebrating and enjoying:

“Obviously the moment I scored a lot of things came to my head. The moment I wanted to leave soccer. And now I am smiling again, like I said before for me it’s a great club that came after me and I am very happy, I am enjoying. But more than anything I am enjoying being with the team, working with everyone day in and day out and they are there in the good and the bad moments.”
