Moreno: We Need To Stay On Toes
(Soccer365.com) - D.C. United forward Jaime Moreno feels the Supporter’s Shield winners best keep their intensity level high if they hope to bring home an MLS Cup as well.
"It's very important for us not to relax too much and think that we have already won something," he said in an interview with FIFA. "This is the worst thing you can do and it happened to us last season."
"We were too confident and we got knocked out in the first round of the playoffs, recalled Moreno. "The key for us is to maintain our focus and keep the mindset that has served us so well throughout the year."
"Playoff football is very difficult to explain, but every game is a battle," he explained. "Every 90 minutes in the playoffs is like a final because everything is on the line."
As hard as it is, this is where you see the true mentality of a player - you get to see who the real winners are."
