Alexis Vega
"The details will make the difference in the match, against Cincinnati we came on very passively and they hurt us. We will put everything against Kansas, we know it's kill or be killed, we will be focused every minute we play".
"To be able to share the court with 'Guti' is incredible. Since I met him in the national team he treated me very well and it's my turn to return that attention. We have a great team and we are ready for great things, I am sure that 'Guti' will adapt quickly to the good squad we have. Padilla and Chen have been up to the task, they are talented youngsters with the desire to transcend".
"When I was 20 years old I made decisions that led me down a bad path, but today I am sure that the mistakes made me learn. When Pauno arrived I had punctuality problems and he guided me to be a good example for young people. He encouraged me to be a leader in the dressing room.
Veljko Paunovic
"The 2 teams know that this game is all or nothing, things are easier this way as we are forced to win. We know our strengths and we will play a smart game. There are no excuses for tomorrow, we will compete as usual despite not having had a good start in Leagues Cup".
"I am confident that the team will perform very well against Kansas City. Both teams like to have the ball, the battle for possession will be important, because if we can't have the ball we will look for alternative ways to compete."
"Any game is a final and that's how we are used to playing. They are a very experienced squad, that's why we can't relax. When we are at 100 percent it doesn't matter who we have in front of us, we are always a strong team."
