What was said?

“They’re dangerous on offense. They have good movement, good rotations between them, and defensively they can be tough, like they’re tough to play against, and they make things difficult. That being said, it’s similar to other teams. You have to find ways to open holes for them or make it difficult for them on offense, and it was a fun process to watch, and I’m looking forward to tomorrow night.” – Rob Valentino, Atlanta United interim manager
