Pineda said that Atlanta United does not have the highest team compared to others in MLS. He said the team tries to avoid giving away corner kicks in part for that reason. Atlanta United assistant coaches often work on set pieces.
“I feel like sometimes in every game we allow (set pieces) to become dangerous,” Pineda said. “I think we should review, check why we concede sometimes.
However, there is a difference between height and desire. Montreal had three chances to score on a corner kick in the first half, but failed to do so. After failing to win the first ball, Montreal players were the first to react to fumbles.
Fullback Andrew Gutman said that can’t keep happening.
“It’s not about who is more skilled or who is a better player,” he said. “It’s just who wants it more, and for us it’s life or death inside the box. We have to get to a mindset where there is no chance of you winning the ball from me. There’s no chance you’ll push me and get the first headline. And I think that’s what we’re missing right now.”
