Yamil Asad and Chris McCann on Atlanta United’s win and next steps

After scoring a tremendous golazo that shook Finley Stadium as it found its way into the upper 90 on Saturday, Yamil Asad talked about the goal and his hopes for the season. Speaking at the team’s temporary home from the Atlanta Falcons’ training facility in Flowery Branch, Georgia, Asad provided details about the goal, the opportunity he has with United, and the support from fans in Atlanta and Argentina.

Asad went into some of the tactics that the team was executing on the play and commented that “Something that coach Martino asked is when the wingers cut in, to pass outside to the outside backs, and luckily they were able to do it.
