体坛英语新闻:We weren't good enough, says Los Angeles coach Bradley
WASHINGTON, Oct. 30 (Xinhua) -- After losing to Seattle Sounders in the Major League Soccer's Western Conference final on Tuesday, Los Angeles FC coach Bob Bradley said the team's not good enough to beat its rival.
"In terms of our attacking play, it's pretty simple. I don't think that we were good enough," said Bradley after the match.
Los Angeles midfielder Eduard Atuesta scored on a free kick in the 17th minute, but the team failed to socre in the remaining time as Seattle sat back to lock down the defense. Raul Ruidiaz scored twice and Nicolas Lodeiro added another to help Seattle win the match 3-1.
"I think we had four shots on goal," said Bradley. "They had numbers back, they clogged the middle, they defended in a compact and strong way and then, if you don't move the ball quick enough, when you get up there it's not easy to get shots."
"It's our responsibility to try to take control of the game, to make the right decisions and make the right plays. We love trying to play hard and I think we tried over and over in the match, but still, when all is said is done, we weren't good enough," the coach added.
The Sounders advanced to the final for the third time in four years and will play against the winner of Wednesday night's Eastern Conference final between Atlanta United and Toronto FC. The final will be held on Nov. 10. Enditem
