Just as Peter Vermes of Sporting Kansas City said following the loss to Houston two weeks ago in U.S. Open Cup play, Houston Dynamo interim head coach Wade Barrett nearly vocalized the same message following the Dynamo training session on Tuesday morning a day ahead of the team’s quarterfinal Open Cup meeting with FC Dallas.
“It is a quarterfinal, I want to win that game,” emphasized Barrett in speaking with the media. “The guys are hungry to play and I think that is a great sign.”
On Wednesday night, Barrett’s team gets a chance to do something they haven’t done since 2006 when he was captain of the Dynamo.
