We would recover balls instead of playing a quick pass out to be able to get out of the area where we recovered the ball, and we were slow in transition. We were slow to get into good spots. We were behind the speed of the game and they were playing around us like we weren't there and when we got it, we were giving it back and then, you know, I could get very tactical as to how our positioning was off and you know everybody was standing right next to the guy that wanted to defend them and there was no certainty on the field that made it very, very easy for them to defend us. So yeah, I was losing my voice in mind in the first half. Just trying to get us to get control of the game a little bit. As the half progressed, we started to find a little bit more time. We started to find a little bit more of our connections and our positioning a little better, and then when we're able to get in at halftime and really talk it through then we had a better go of it in the second half obviously and we were able to keep the ball. We're able to advance. We transitioned a lot better. We also kept our block a little tighter defensively… where in the first half we were kind of stretched out a little bit and they were finding some joy in between our lines. We made that very difficult for them in the second half, and that started a lot of things in transition for us. We were a lot more comfortable, so great response. Good to be back home. Good to survive that first little bit there. And as I said to the guys, that's why the game is 90 minutes. You can start bad and find your footing and then take over the game. It happened in reverse for us on last on the road trip where we started off straight, good and then we lost control of the game as it progressed. And tonight we kind of did the flip side, so we'll take it. Great result and overall good performance for the guys.” On Samuel Grandsir’s first goal for the Galaxy: “I think over the last several weeks or so his performances have gotten better and his energy on the field is better. He's been more direct. He's run at the opposition. He's run behind without the ball. He's creating a lot of problems for fullbacks. So just in the direct nature in which he's playing, he's competing. A lot of things that I thought he wasn't doing originally at the beginning, he kind of settled in and he's starting to really push those things and he's done well. He's been in good spots to possibly score his first one. Sometimes I think, for him, it is

Page 20: MLS Game Guide · 2021. 8. 3. · LA GALAXY vs. REAL SALT LAKE DIGNITY HEALTH SPORTS PARK, Carson, Calif. Wed., August 4, 2021 (Week 17, MLS Game #226) 7:30 p.m. PT (SpecSN; KMYU-12)

just being a little bit more patient looking for a little bit better look. I think some of that has come into his game. There's a couple times where he carried inside and in the past, I think he hits one of those shots and now he goes an extra one more touch. One more touch. Then he lays off the ball, we get a little bit better look. Little things like that are starting to come. Very happy with where he's at and obviously he's still progressing. He's still adapting and more of it's going to come, but you know, I'm happy for him.” On Rayan Raveloson: “He just has a knack for these crossing situations. His timing, I've said this over and over, his timing to find the right space, the anticipation to see where the ball could end up and then to attack it with his head and the ability to kind of organize himself and go for the bike and on this one is, uh, great, great qualities. You know where he was before, he played a little bit more as an 8 where he didn't score as much as he has here, that's for sure, but he has always had that ability and his timing is fantastic. And so as long as he's going to keep doing things like that, we'll keep riding those goals for now, but obviously, he's showing a knack for getting on the end of crosses and whether they're set pieces, or whatever he's got great timing.” On Julian Araujo’s two assists tonight’s: I think he's making great progress. I think in some of the moments in his attacks and the final third and his one-on-one defending all those things obviously, he's continuing to progress. Today, I thought his willingness to get to the end line, you know, one of the things we've been talking about to him is not settling for the cross from 15, 16, 17 yards out but actually going the last that last 17 yards, 10 yards, 5 yards to get to the end line to open up better crossing situations, not just for him but the guys who were trying to attack it and today, he really drove to the end line and he opens up two great balls for us. Defensively, his individual defending is one of his strengths, in my opinion, because of his tenacity and his quickness and all that stuff. LA GALAXY DEFENDER JULIAN ARAUJO On the win: “I was watching film when I was at Barca Academy when I played against Portland [Timbers] this morning obviously not the first team but I had a very good game and I was very confident and I knew they were going to play similar so I had confidence waking up. I know Greg [Vanney] has always asked me to get to the end line cut back crosses and we've actually been working on dinking it up in the back post and tonight I was just very confident going forward and I was just going to go at the left back as much as possible and let him know that I was going to be there." On maturing as a player: "I think Greg [Vanney] makes it very clear I think a lot of the veteran guys make it very clear on my position on where I need to be in certain situations and I am starting to get more comfortable in my role. Last year I played left wing, right back, right wing and this year I am just consistently playing right back and I am thankful that I am just playing, playing and playing every game and just learning every game so I do think everything is starting to just come into my head a lot easier and I am letting the game come to me and be more calm." On his assist on Samuel Grandsir's goal: "Once the guy lost the ball and didn't win the tackle I was just going to be calm on the ball and just try to get as close to the end line as possible. I saw that the right back was coming inside and all the defenders were coming towards me and Sam is not that tall so I could barely see him but I saw his two hands in the air and I just dinked it over the top, I saw that all the defenders were coming onto me so I knew obviously the back post was going to be open so I just tried getting it to him." LA GALAXY MIDFIELDER SACHA KLJESTAN On the team's poor start in the first half: "What a bad start from us. I think weren't sharp, we were fragile, we weren't confident at all in connecting short passes, little turnovers, bad turnovers, lackadaisical it was just bad. Rayan's [Raveloson] goal obviously an amazing goal gave us a lift. They come down they score the other way kind of puts us down again but then the last 15 minutes of the first half I thought we started to react a lot better just moving the ball faster, manipulating space a little bit better, getting down the right side a lot with Julian [Araujo], trying to just create some havoc and then fortunately the second goal goes in and the second half is just a totally different story." On Samuel Grandsir scoring his first goal: You can see that everyone was happy for Sam that when he scored even all the subs running down across the goal to celebrate with him so you can see how excited we were for him. It is good for a player like him to get his first goal, to get the monkey off the back so to speak and just start pushing himself further along now every game. The French guys have been great additions because they are all just good players individually and so they make the team better. I think Kevin [Cabral] and Sam we've still not seen the best of them yet which is good because they've got another notch to move up

and continue to be a really good force in the attack that team's should be afraid of, the speed that they have when they can run in behind and cause problems. Rayan [Raveloson] obviously off of set pieces has shown to be a dangerous weapon, an amazing goal he scored tonight so hats off to him and Sega [Coulibaly] as he stays healthy will be a really strong force in the back, Sega especially is just a natural leader. In his first game here, he sits next to me in the locker room so we talk a lot, I believe was against Seattle [Sounders] and he really wanted to speak in the huddle, he wanted to say something to the starting eleven before the game and I gave him the time to do that because he seems like a leader and he is a guys that wants to take a lot on his shoulders so I'm really proud of all those guys, I've enjoyed getting to know them and I think they have been great additions to our team."

On Julian Araujo: "He is still developing which is the great part. I am happy that he signed a new contract and hopefully he'll be here for the next couple of years as he continues to get better. Julian [Araujo] will tell you this, I tell him this all the time he's not the finished product yet and he has to keep getting better in the final third but I enjoy dropping out on that right side because when he gives me the ball and he starts running forward I know that I can drop it in behind and I know that he is going to get there and not only that if he loses the ball I know that he is going to recover so he is just continuing to get better, he's got a great mentality on him, I forget how young he is sometimes because he is a pretty mature kid and the future is very bright for him and I am very proud of the way he played tonight especially but this season he has been very good."

MATCH PREVIEWReal Salt Lake continues its stretch of three consecutive road matches in eight days at LA Galaxy on Wednesday, August 4 at 8:30 p.m. MT, marking the second time in two weeks the two teams have faced one another.

Head-to-Head: Real Salt Lake carries a 15-18-10 all-time record against the Galaxy into the midweek clash, most recently finishing with a 2-2 draw at Rio Tinto Stadium on Wednesday, July 21 with goals from Maikel Chang and Albert Rusnak. Stories to Watch:Four ScoreHeading into the midweek match, Real Salt Lake is currently tied for the fourth-fewest losses in the Western Conference having only lost on four occasions. Only the top-of-the-table Seattle Sounders have lost less than RSL. Additionally, Real Salt Lake has allowed the fourth-fewest goals in the entire league. 150 for All Against Houston Dynamo FC on July 31, goalkeeper Zac MacMath recorded his 150th appearance in Major League Soccer to become the third on RSL’s current roster to do so. MacMath’s teammate, defender Justen Glad is rapidly approaching the same mark, having played in 141 regular-season matches. Glad will miss Wednesday’s match due to a red card suspension received against Houston. Up until that point he was the only RSL player to play every minute of every match thus far in 2021. Western Conference CompetitionLA Galaxy’s last match resulted in a commanding 4-1 win over Portland Timbers who Real Salt Lake will face on Saturday, August 7 at Providence Park. It was the first time the team had scored four goals in a single match this season, and it came following a 4-0 loss to FC Dallas, who RSL tied 2-2 with, proving once again just how competitive the league and the Western Conference can be on any given week. Connections: Following his retirement from professional soccer in 2008, LA Galaxy Head Coach Greg Vanney joined the RSL Academy in Casa Grande, Arizo-na where he served as the technical director from 2008-2011.Former RSL Homegrown defender Danilo Acosta now applies his trade with the Galaxy where he signed prior to the 2020 season. While with RSL, the left back made 29 appearances in MLS to accompany 26 appearances in the USL Championship. Acosta missed the entire 2020 MLS season after suffering a torn ACL during preseason. He made his LA Galaxy debut on July 24 at FC Dallas. RSL Assistant Coach Pablo Mastroeni played his final MLS season with the Galaxy in 2013.

LAST MATCH RECAPReal Salt Lake (5-4-6, 21 points) played to a scoreless draw against Houston Dynamo FC on Saturday night at BBVA Sta-dium in Houston, Texas. Goalkeeper Zac MacMath made four saves for the fourth shutout of the year for RSL, who moved to 2-2-2 on the road this season.

In the first half, RSL put four shots on goal to Houston’s two while controlling 55% of the possession. Maikel Chang’s left-footed shot in the 11th minute was met with a diving save from Houston goalkeeper Marko Maric that pushed the ball off the post. Damir Kreilach was first to the rebound, but his putback header was saved again by Maric. Albert Rusnák and Justin Meram also challenged Maric, forcing the Houston goal-keeper to stretch for saves to keep the match scoreless heading into halftime.

In the second half, a resilient RSL held off a late surge from Houston after defender Justen Glad was sent off with a second yellow card in the 87th minute. MacMath made two late saves to preserve the 0-0 scoreline and earn a road point.

GENERAL MANAGER ELLIOT FALLFall has served in different capacities at Real Salt Lake since 2007. During the 2013-2014 seasons, he worked closely with former General Manager Garth Lagerwey as Director of Soccer Operations. In November of 2014, Fall was named Assistant General Manager and has held that position for five seasons. In each of those roles, he assisted in player acquisition and retention as well as in player development, over-seeing the Real Monarchs and the RSL Academy at different stages. A graduate of the University of Utah and Salt Lake City’s Judge Memorial Catholic High School, Fall is a lifelong Salt Lake City resident. At 36 years old, he is the youngest General Manager in Major League Soccer.

HEAD COACH FREDDY JUAREZJuarez, 43, originally joined the Real Salt Lake organization as RSL Academy Head Coach in 2010, winning the USSDA U-16 Championship in 2012 with a roster that boasted future RSL players Justen Glad, Brooks Lennon and Sebastian Saucedo, among others. He remained with the Academy until being promoted to Head Coach of Real Monarchs SLC in the club’s inaugural season in the USL in 2015. After two seasons in that post, he was again promoted to Real Salt Lake’s coaching staff as an assistant coach, where he has played an integral role in continued youth development at the MLS level and in implementing tactical approaches that have helped RSL improve in the standings in each of his three years on staff. In August, he took the helm as Interim Head Coach, with RSL going 5-4-1 in the final 10 matches in that role after posting a 2-0-1 record in his three matches as acting head coach prior to being named in the interim role. A native of Las Cruces, New Mexico, Juarez played 10 seasons in the USL for the El Paso Patriots and Minnesota Thunder before retiring in 2007. Throughout his playing career, he coached at the youth levels and continued in that capacity upon his retirement.

HOMEGROWN LEADERSReal Salt Lake has led Major League Soccer in minutes played by Academy products in each of the last three seasons and reached the Western Conference Semifinals in 2018 and 2019, totaling nearly 30,000 minutes across those three seasons. With Real Monarchs reaching the USL Championship Final in 2019 and the USL Regular Season Shield in 2017, RSL’s youth development structure has shown an ability to develop young players coming through the RSL Academy as well as those joining from other organizations.
